Predicting functional consequences of SNPs on mRNA translation via machine learning.

ABSTRACT: The functional impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on translation has yet to be considered when prioritizing disease-causing SNPs from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Here we apply machine learning models to genome-wide ribosome profiling data to predict SNP function by forecasting ribosome collisions during mRNA translation. SNPs causing remarkable ribosome occupancy changes are named RibOc-SNPs (Ribosome-Occupancy-SNPs). We found that disease-related SNPs tend to cause notable changes in ribosome occupancy, suggesting translational regulation as an essential pathogenesis step. Nucleotide conversions, such as 'G → T', 'T → G' and 'C → A', are enriched in RibOc-SNPs, with the most significant impact on ribosome occupancy, while 'A → G' (or 'A→ I' RNA editing) and 'G → A' are less deterministic. Among amino acid conversions, 'Glu → stop (codon)' shows the most significant enrichment in RibOc-SNPs. Interestingly, there is selection pressure on stop codons with a lower collision likelihood. RibOc-SNPs are enriched at the 5'-coding sequence regions, implying hot spots of translation initiation regulation. Strikingly, ∼22.1% of the RibOc-SNPs lead to opposite changes in ribosome occupancy on alternative transcript isoforms, suggesting that SNPs can amplify the differences between splicing isoforms by oppositely regulating their translation efficiency.

Project description:The ability to carry out instrumental activities of daily living, such as paying bills, remembering appointments and shopping alone decreases with age, yet there are remarkable individual differences in the rate of decline among older adults. Understanding variables associated with a decline in instrumental activities of daily living is critical to providing appropriate intervention to prolong independence. Prior research suggests that cognitive measures, neuroimaging and fluid-based biomarkers predict functional decline. However, a priori selection of variables can lead to the over-valuation of certain variables and exclusion of others that may be predictive. In this study, we used machine learning techniques to select a wide range of baseline variables that best predicted functional decline in two years in individuals from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative dataset. The sample included 398 individuals characterized as cognitively normal or mild cognitive impairment. Support vector machine classification algorithms were used to identify the most predictive modality from five different data modality types (demographics, structural MRI, fluorodeoxyglucose-PET, neurocognitive and genetic/fluid-based biomarkers). In addition, variable selection identified individual variables across all modalities that best predicted functional decline in a testing sample. Of the five modalities examined, neurocognitive measures demonstrated the best accuracy in predicting functional decline (accuracy = 74.2%; area under the curve = 0.77), followed by fluorodeoxyglucose-PET (accuracy = 70.8%; area under the curve = 0.66). The individual variables with the greatest discriminatory ability for predicting functional decline included partner report of language in the Everyday Cognition questionnaire, the ADAS13, and activity of the left angular gyrus using fluorodeoxyglucose-PET. These three variables collectively explained 32% of the total variance in functional decline. Taken together, the machine learning model identified novel biomarkers that may be involved in the processing, retrieval, and conceptual integration of semantic information and which predict functional decline two years after assessment. These findings may be used to explore the clinical utility of the Everyday Cognition as a non-invasive, cost and time effective tool to predict future functional decline.
