A study of genetic variants associated with skin traits in the Vietnamese population

Project description:Background: Most skin-related traits have been studied in Caucasian genetic backgrounds. A comprehensive study on skin-associated genetic effects on underrepresented populations such as Vietnam is needed to fill the gaps in the field. Objectives: We aimed to develop a computational pipeline to predict the effect of genetic factors on skin traits using public data (GWAS catalogs and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from the 1000 Genomes Project-1KGP) and in-house Vietnamese data (WGS and genotyping by SNP array). Also, we compared the genetic predispositions of 25 skin-related traits of Vietnamese population to others to acquire population-specific insights regarding skin health. Results: The skin-related genetic profile of Vietnamese cohorts was similar at most to East Asian cohorts (JPT: Fst=0.036, CHB: Fst=0.031, CHS: Fst=0.027, CDX: Fst=0.025) in the population study. In addition, we identified pairs of skin traits at high risk of frequent co-occurrence (such as skin aging and wrinkles (r = 0.45, p =1.50e-5) or collagen degradation and moisturizing (r = 0.35, p = 1.1e-3)).

microRNA genetic variation, from population analysis to functional implications of allele variants associated with cancer

Project description:Total RNA samples from three independent transfection experiments of vectors containing two different allelic variants of 4 miRNAs (hsa-mir-146a, hsa-mir-196a2, hsa-mir-499a, hsa-mir-499b) and an empty vector. The selected variants are cancer associated SNPs located in cancer related miRNAs. The aim of this study is to identify functional explanations for those associations. HeLa cells were used for microarray expression experiments in Agilent SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression microarrays (8x60k), which target over 60,000 well-annotated RefSeq transcripts starting from 300ng of total RNA. Data were analyzed using the Array File Maker (AFM) 4.0 software package (Array File Maker, Stanford, California).

Exonic variants associated with development of Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Diseases

Project description:Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is one phenotype of asthma, often in the form of a severe and sudden attack. Due to time consuming and laborious oral aspirin challenge (OAC) for diagnosis of AERD, non-invasive biomarkers have been searched. Therefore, we scrutinize AERD-associated exonic SNPs and examine the diagnostic potential of combination of these candidate SNPs to predict AERD DNA obtained from 164 AERD subjects, 397 subjects with aspirin-tolerant asthma (ATA), 398 normal controls and 10 null samples were subjected to Exome Chip assay of 240K SNPs. 1023 model (210-1) were generated from combination of the top 10 SNPs selected by p-values. The area under the curve (AUC) value of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was calculated for each model. SNP functional Portal and PolyPhen-2 was used to validate the functional significance of the candidate SNPs

Genetic Risk Variants for Autoimmune Diseases that Influence Gene Expression in Thymus

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have boosted our knowledge of genetic risk variants in autoimmune diseases (AIDs). Most of the risk variants are located within or near genes with immunological functions, and the majority is found to be non-coding, pointing towards a regulatory role. We have performed a cis expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) screen to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with AIDs influence gene expression in thymus. Genotyping was performed using the Immunochip and 353 AID associated SNPs were tested against expression of surrounding genes (+/- 1 Mb) from human thymic tissue (N=42). We identified eight genes where the expression was associated with AID risk SNPs at a study-wide level of significance (P < 2.57x10-5). Five genes (FCRL3, RNASET2, C2orf74, SIRPG and SYS1) displayed cis eQTL signals also in other tissues, while for two loci (NPIPB8 and LOC388814), the eQTL signal appear to be thymus-specific. Since many AID risk variants from GWAS have been subsequently fine-mapped in recent Immunochip projects, we explored the overlap between these novel AID risk variants and the thymic eQTL regions. Moreover, we examined the functional annotation of the seven expression altering SNPs (eSNPs). Our study reveals autoimmune risk variants that act as eQTLs in thymus. We have highlighted functional variants within these genetic regions that potentially can represent causal autoimmune risk variants. Total RNA from 42 human thymic samples were obtained from children undergoing cardiac surgery.
