Inference of putative cell-type-specific imprinted regulatory elements and genes during human neuronal differentiation.


ABSTRACT: Genomic imprinting results in gene expression bias caused by parental chromosome of origin and occurs in genes with important roles during human brain development. However, the cell-type and temporal specificity of imprinting during human neurogenesis is generally unknown. By detecting within-donor allelic biases in chromatin accessibility and gene expression that are unrelated to cross-donor genotype, we inferred imprinting in both primary human neural progenitor cells and their differentiated neuronal progeny from up to 85 donors. We identified 43/20 putatively imprinted regulatory elements (IREs) in neurons/progenitors, and 133/79 putatively imprinted genes in neurons/progenitors. Although 10 IREs and 42 genes were shared between neurons and progenitors, most putative imprinting was only detected within specific cell types. In addition to well-known imprinted genes and their promoters, we inferred novel putative IREs and imprinted genes. Consistent with both DNA methylation-based and H3K27me3-based regulation of imprinted expression, some putative IREs also overlapped with differentially methylated or histone-marked regions. Finally, we identified a progenitor-specific putatively imprinted gene overlapping with copy number variation that is associated with uniparental disomy-like phenotypes. Our results can therefore be useful in interpreting the function of variants identified in future parent-of-origin association studies.
