Abstract: Aims Our objective was to better understand the genetic bases of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a leading cause of systolic heart failure. Methods and results We conducted the largest genome-wide association study performed so far in DCM, with 2719 cases and 4440 controls in the discovery population. We identified and replicated two new DCM-associated loci on chromosome 3p25.1 [lead single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs62232870, P = 8.7 × 10−11 and 7.7 × 10−4 in the discovery and replication steps, respectively] and chromosome 22q11.23 (lead SNP rs7284877, P = 3.3 × 10−8 and 1.4 × 10−3 in the discovery and replication steps, respectively), while confirming two previously identified DCM loci on chromosomes 10 and 1, BAG3 and HSPB7. A genetic risk score constructed from the number of risk alleles at these four DCM loci revealed a 3-fold increased risk of DCM for individuals with 8 risk alleles compared to individuals with 5 risk alleles (median of the referral population). In silico annotation and functional 4C-sequencing analyses on iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes identify SLC6A6 as the most likely DCM gene at the 3p25.1 locus. This gene encodes a taurine transporter whose involvement in myocardial dysfunction and DCM is supported by numerous observations in humans and animals. At the 22q11.23 locus, in silico and data mining annotations, and to a lesser extent functional analysis, strongly suggest SMARCB1 as the candidate culprit gene. Conclusion This study provides a better understanding of the genetic architecture of DCM and sheds light on novel biological pathways underlying heart failure.

Abstract: International audience; In skeletal muscle, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in dystrophin protein stabilization but also in the regulation of myocytes proliferation and differentiation. Hence, they could represent promising therapeutic targets and/or biomarkers for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD). DMD and BMD are X-linked myopathies characterized by a progressive muscular dystrophy with or without dilatative cardiomyopathy. Two-thirds of DMD gene mutations are represented by deletions, and 63% of patients carrying DMD deletions are eligible for 45 to 55 multi-exons skipping (MES), becoming BMD patients (BMDΔ45-55). We analyzed the genomic lncRNA presence in 38 BMDΔ45-55 patients and characterized the lncRNA localized in introns 44 and 55 of the DMD gene. We highlighted that all four lncRNA are differentially expressed during myogenesis in immortalized and primary human myoblasts. In addition, the lncRNA44s2 was pointed out as a possible accelerator of differentiation. Interestingly, lncRNA44s expression was associated with a favorable clinical phenotype. These findings suggest that lncRNA44s2 could be involved in muscle differentiation process and become a potential disease progression biomarker. Based on these results, we support MES45-55 therapy and propose that the design of the CRISPR/Cas9 MES45-55 assay consider the lncRNA sequences bordering the exonic 45 to 55 deletion.

Abstract: Mandibuloacral dysplasia syndromes are mainly due to recessive LMNA or ZMPSTE24 mutations, with cardinal nuclear morphological abnormalities and dysfunction. We report five homozygous null mutations in MTX2, encoding Metaxin-2 (MTX2), an outer mitochondrial membrane protein, in patients presenting with a severe laminopathy-like mandibuloacral dysplasia characterized by growth retardation, bone resorption, arterial calcification, renal glomerulosclerosis and severe hypertension. Loss of MTX2 in patients’ primary fibroblasts leads to loss of Metaxin-1 (MTX1) and mitochondrial dysfunction, including network fragmentation and oxidative phosphorylation impairment. Furthermore, patients’ fibroblasts are resistant to induced apoptosis, leading to increased cell senescence and mitophagy and reduced proliferation. Interestingly, secondary nuclear morphological defects are observed in both MTX2-mutant fibroblasts and mtx-2-depleted C. elegans. We thus report the identification of a severe premature aging syndrome revealing an unsuspected link between mitochondrial composition and function and nuclear morphology, establishing a pathophysiological link with premature aging laminopathies and likely explaining common clinical features., Association Française contre les Myopathies (AFM); Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft; GENMED Laboratory of Excellence on Medical Genomics, Agence Nationale de la Recherche; Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale (INSERM); Aix-Marseille University (AMU) by the RAREMED Amidex Project

Abstract: The number of genes associated with autism is increasing, but few studies have been performed on epidemiological cohorts and in isolated populations. Here, we investigated 357 individuals from the Faroe Islands including 36 individuals with autism, 136 of their relatives and 185 non-autism controls. Data from SNP array and whole exome sequencing revealed that individuals with autism had a higher burden of rare exonic copy-number variants altering autism associated genes (deletions (p = 0.0352) or duplications (p = 0.0352)), higher inbreeding status (p = 0.023) and a higher load of rare homozygous deleterious variants (p = 0.011) compared to controls. Our analysis supports the role of several genes/loci associated with autism (e.g., NRXN1, ADNP, 22q11 deletion) and identified new truncating (e.g., GRIK2, ROBO1, NINL, and IMMP2L) or recessive deleterious variants (e.g., KIRREL3 and CNTNAP2) affecting autism-associated genes. It also revealed three genes involved in synaptic plasticity, RIMS4, KALRN, and PLA2G4A, carrying de novo deleterious variants in individuals with autism without intellectual disability. In summary, our analysis provides a better understanding of the genetic architecture of autism in isolated populations by highlighting the role of both common and rare gene variants and pointing at new autism-risk genes. It also indicates that more knowledge about how multiple genetic hits affect neuronal function will be necessary to fully understand the genetic architecture of autism., Genetic correlates of autism in natives of remote islands A study of the genetic architecture of autism among people living on the remote Faroe Islands highlights the role of both common and rare gene variants to autism. Claire Leblond from the Institut Pasteur in Paris, France, and colleagues profiled the genetics of 357 Faroese individuals, including 36 with autism, 136 of their relatives and 185 non-autistic controls. Similar to the findings of genetic studies of autism from elsewhere, the researchers discovered rare structural variants in known autism-associated genes and a few new candidate genes linked to brain function. However, unlike studies from larger mainland populations, they also showed that inbreeding on these remote islands increased the likelihood of carrying two copies of the point mutations that contribute to autism.

Abstract: International audience; While low plasma melatonin, a neuro-hormone synthesized in the pineal gland, has been frequently associated with autism, our understanding of the mechanisms behind it have remained unclear. In this exploratory study, we hypothesized that low melatonin levels in ASD could be linked to a decrease of the pineal gland volume (PGV). PGV estimates with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a voxel-based volumetric measurement method and early morning plasma melatonin levels were evaluated for 215 participants, including 78 individuals with ASD, 90 unaffected relatives, and 47 controls. We first found that both early morning melatonin level and PGV were lower in patients compared to controls. We secondly built a linear model and observed that plasma melatonin was correlated to the group of the participant, but also to the PGV. To further understand the relationship between PGV and melatonin, we generated a normative model of the PGV relationship with melatonin level based on control participant data. We found an effect of PGV on normalized melatonin levels in ASD. Melatonin deficit appeared however more related to the group of the subject. Thus, melatonin variations in ASD could be mainly driven by melatonin pathway dysregulation.

Abstract: Factor V serves an important role in the regulation of blood coagulation. The rs6025 (R534Q) and rs4524 (K858R) polymorphisms in the F5 gene, are known to influence the risk of venous thrombosis. While the rare Q534 (factor V Leiden) allele is associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis, the minor R858 allele is associated with a lower risk of disease. However, no study has deeply examined the cumulative impact of these two variations on venous thrombosis risk. We study the association of these polymorphisms with the risk of venous thrombosis in 4 French case-control populations comprising 3719 patients and 4086 controls. We demonstrate that the Q534 allele has a dominant effect over R858. Besides, we show that in individuals not carrying the Q534 allele, the protective effect of the R858 allele acts in a dominant mode. Thrombin generation-based normalized activated protein C sensitivity ratio was lower in the 858R/R homozygotes than in the 858K/K homozygotes (1.92 ± 1.61 vs 2.81 ± 1.57, p = 0.025). We demonstrate that the R858 allele of the F5 rs4524 variant protects from venous thrombosis only in non-carriers of the Q534 allele of the F5 rs6025. Its protective effect is mediated by reduced factor VIII levels and reduced activated protein C resistance.

Abstract: International audience; The thymus is the primary lymphoid organ where naïve T cells are generated; however, with the exception of age, the parameters that govern its function in healthy humans remain unknown. We characterized the variability of thymic function among 1000 age- and sex-stratified healthy adults of the Milieu Intérieur cohort, using quantification of T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) in peripheral blood T cells as a surrogate marker of thymopoiesis. Age and sex were the only nonheritable factors identified that affect thymic function. TREC amounts decreased with age and were higher in women compared to men. In addition, a genome-wide association study revealed a common variant (rs2204985) within the T cell receptor TCRA-TCRD locus, between the DD2 and DD3 gene segments, which associated with TREC amounts. Strikingly, transplantation of human hematopoietic stem cells with the rs2204985 GG genotype into immunodeficient mice led to thymopoiesis with higher TRECs, increased thymocyte counts, and a higher TCR repertoire diversity. Our population immunology approach revealed a genetic locus that influences thymopoiesis in healthy adults, with potentially broad implications in precision medicine.

Abstract: International audience; Reproducibility has been shown to be limited in many scientific fields. This question is a fundamental tenet of scientific activity, but the related issues of reusability of scientific data are poorly documented. Here, we present a case study of our difficulties in reproducing a published bioinformatics method even though code and data were available. First, we tried to re-run the analysis with the code and data provided by the authors. Second, we reimplemented the whole method in a Python package to avoid dependency on a MATLAB license and ease the execution of the code on a high-performance computing cluster. Third, we assessed reusability of our reimplementation and the quality of our documentation, testing how easy it would be to start from our implementation to reproduce the results. In a second section, we propose solutions from this case study and other observations to improve reproducibility and research efficiency at the individual and collective levels.While finalizing our code, we created case-specific documentation and tutorials for the associated Python package StratiPy. Readers are invited to experiment with our reproducibility case study by generating the two confusion matrices (see more in section "Robustness: from MATLAB to Python, language and organization"). Here, we propose two options: a step-by-step process to follow in a Jupyter/IPython notebook or a Docker container ready to be built and run.

Abstract: Summary Predicted deleteriousness of coding variants is a frequently used criterion to filter out variants detected in next-generation sequencing projects and to select candidates impacting on the risk of human diseases. Most available dedicated tools implement a base-to-base annotation approach that could be biased in presence of several variants in the same genetic codon. We here proposed the MACARON program that, from a standard VCF file, identifies, re-annotates and predicts the amino acid change resulting from multiple single nucleotide variants (SNVs) within the same genetic codon. Applied to the whole exome dataset of 573 individuals, MACARON identifies 114 situations where multiple SNVs within a genetic codon induce an amino acid change that is different from those predicted by standard single SNV annotation tool. Such events are not uncommon and deserve to be studied in sequencing projects with inconclusive findings. Availability and implementation MACARON is written in python with codes available on the GENMED website (www.genmed.fr). Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Abstract: Background: Genetic risk factors for a first venous thrombosis (VT) seem to have little effect on recurrence risk. Therefore, we aimed specifically to identify novel genetic determinants of recurrent VT. To date, genome-wide association studies are lacking. Methods and Results: We performed a genome-wide association scan in 1279 patients from the MEGA (Multiple Environmental and Genetic Assessment of risk factors for venous thrombosis) follow-up study; 832 patients who remained recurrence free during a median follow-up time of 6.1 years and 447 recurrent VT patients with a median time-to-recurrence of 2.6 years. We analyzed genotype probabilities of ≈8.6 million variants, imputed to the Genome of the Netherlands project reference panel, with a minor allele frequency ≥1% for an association with recurrent VT. One region exceeded genome-wide significance ( P ≤5×10 − 8 ), mapping to the well-known factor V Leiden locus. Conditional association analyses on factor V Leiden did not yield any secondary association signals. We also identified 52 suggestive association signals ( P −5 ) at 17 additional loci. None of these loci were previously implicated in VT risk. Replication analyses for 17 lead variants were performed in 350 patients with recurrent VT and 1866 patients with a single VT event from the MEGA follow-up study, THE-VTE (Thrombophilia, Hypercoagulability and Environmental Risks in Venous Thromboembolism) study, and LETS (Leiden Thrombophilia Study). We observed an association with recurrence for an intergenic variant at 18q22.1 with an odds ratio of 1.7 (95% confidence interval, 1.2–2.6) per copy of the minor allele. Conclusions: We confirmed the association of factor V Leiden and identified a novel risk locus at 18q22.1 in the first large genetic study on recurrent VT.

Abstract: International audience; We performed whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing in 927 late-onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD) cases, 852 early-onset AD (EOAD) cases, and 1273 controls from France. We assessed the evidence for gene-based association of rare variants with AD in 6 genes for which an association with such variants was previously claimed. When aggregating protein-truncating and missense-predicted damaging variants, we found exome-wide significant association between EOAD risk~and rare variants in SORL1, TREM2, and ABCA7. No exome-wide significant signal was obtained in the LOAD sample, and significance of the order of 10$^{-6}$ was observed in the whole AD group for TREM2. Our study confirms previous gene-level results for TREM2, SORL1, and ABCA7 and provides a~clearer insight into the classes of rare variants involved. Despite different effect sizes and~varying~cumulative minor allele frequencies, the rare protein-truncating and missense-predicted~damaging variants in TREM2, SORL1, and ABCA7 contribute similarly to the heritability of EOAD and explain between 1.1% and 1.5% of EOAD heritability each, compared with 9.12% for APOE $\varepsilon$4.

Abstract: International audience; BAP31 is one of the most abundant endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane proteins. It is a chaperone protein involved in several pathways , including ER-associated degradation, export of ER proteins to the Golgi apparatus, and programmed cell death. BAP31 is encoded by BCAP31, located in human Xq28 and highly expressed in neurons. We identified loss-of-function mutations in BCAP31 in seven individuals from three families. These persons suffered from motor and intellectual disabilities, dystonia, sensorineural deafness, and white-matter changes, which together define an X-linked syndrome. In the primary fibroblasts of affected individuals, we found that BCAP31 deficiency altered ER morphology and caused a disorganization of the Golgi apparatus in a significant proportion of cells. Contrary to what has been described with transient-RNA-interference experiments, we demonstrate that constitutive BCAP31 deficiency does not activate the unfolded protein response or cell-death effectors. Rather, our data demonstrate that the lack of BAP31 disturbs ER metabolism and impacts the Golgi apparatus, highlighting an important role for BAP31 in ER-to-Golgi crosstalk. These findings provide a molecular basis for a Mendelian syndrome and link intracellular protein trafficking to severe congenital brain dysfunction and deafness.

Abstract: Autism spectrum disorders affect millions of individuals worldwide, but their heterogeneity complicates therapeutic intervention that is essentially symptomatic. A versatile yet relevant model to rationally screen among hundreds of therapeutic options would help improving clinical practice. Here we investigated whether neurons differentiated from pluripotent stem cells can provide such a tool using SHANK3 haploinsufficiency as a proof of principle. A library of compounds was screened for potential to increase SHANK3 mRNA content in neurons differentiated from control human embryonic stem cells. Using induced pluripotent stem cell technology, active compounds were then evaluated for efficacy in correcting dysfunctional networks of neurons differentiated from individuals with deleterious point mutations of SHANK3. Among 202 compounds tested, lithium and valproic acid showed the best efficacy at corrected SHANK3 haploinsufficiency associated phenotypes in cellulo. Lithium pharmacotherapy was subsequently provided to one patient and, after one year, an encouraging decrease in autism severity was observed. This demonstrated that pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons provide a novel cellular paradigm exploitable in the search for specific disease-modifying treatments., Highlights • Human neurons were used to screen for compounds correcting symptoms associated with SHANK3 haploinsufficiency syndrome. • Screening criteria were the ability to increase SHANK3 expression and to increase glutamatergic transmission. • Selected hit compounds were then validated using neurons differentiated from individuals with SHANK3 disrupting mutations. • Lithium was selected and delivered to one of SHANK3 patient showing encouraging positive clinical outcomes after one year. The clinical heterogeneity between individuals affected by autism makes it difficult to anticipate the effectiveness of a treatment. Furthermore, clinical practice lacks biological tools to help make such decisions. Here we use neurons, produced from pluripotent stem cells derived from patients affected by SHANK3 haploinsufficiency syndrome, to test the efficiency of therapeutic compounds. We screened the biological activity of more than 200 compounds on SHANK3 expression. Lithium was ultimately selected and delivered to one patient with a SHANK3-disruptive mutation. This resulted in a positive outcome, as determined by improved autistic core symptoms, thus supporting the usefulness of this type of predictive approach.

Abstract: International audience; Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a heterogeneous group of neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by problems in social communication, as well as by the presence of restricted interests, stereotyped and repetitive behaviours. In the last 40years, genetic studies have provided crucial information on the causes of ASD and its diversity. In this article, I will first review the current knowledge on the genetics of ASD and then suggest three propositions to foster research in this field. Twin and familial studies estimated the heritability of ASD to be 50%. While most of the inherited part of ASD is captured by common variants, our current knowledge on the genetics of ASD comes almost exclusively from the identification of highly penetrant de novo mutations through candidate gene or whole exome/genome sequencing studies. Approximately 10% of patients with ASD, especially those with intellectual disability, are carriers of de novo copy-number (CNV) or single nucleotide variants (SNV) affecting clinically relevant genes for ASD. Given the function of these genes, it was hypothesized that abnormal synaptic plasticity and failure of neuronal/synaptic homeostasis could increase the risk of ASD. In addition to these discoveries, three propositions coming from institutions, researchers and/or communities of patients and families can be made to foster research on ASD: (i) to use more dimensional and quantitative data than diagnostic categories; (ii) to increase data sharing and research on genetic and brain diversity in human populations; (iii) to involve patients and relatives as participants for research. Hopefully, this knowledge will lead to a better diagnosis, care and integration of individuals with ASD.
