Sporadic Autism Exomes Reveal a Highly Interconnected Protein Network of De Novo Mutations

ABSTRACT:

It is well established that autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have a strong genetic component; however, for at least 70% of cases, the underlying genetic cause is unknown. Under the hypothesis that de novo mutations underlie a substantial fraction of the risk for developing ASD in families with no previous history of ASD or related phenotypes-so-called sporadic or simplex families-we sequenced all coding regions of the genome (the exome) for parent-child trios exhibiting sporadic ASD, including 189 new trios and 20 that were previously reported. Additionally, we also sequenced the exomes of 50 unaffected siblings corresponding to these new (n = 31) and previously reported trios (n = 19), for a total of 617 individual exomes from 209 families deposited in dbGaP. Here we show that de novo point mutations are overwhelmingly paternal in origin (4:1 bias) and positively correlated with paternal age, consistent with the modest increased risk for children of older fathers to develop ASD. Moreover, 39% (49 of 126) of the most severe or disruptive de novo mutations map to a highly interconnected beta-catenin/chromatin remodelling protein network ranked significantly for autism candidate genes. In proband exomes, recurrent protein-altering mutations were observed in two genes: CHD8 and NTNG1. Mutation screening of six candidate genes in 1,703 ASD probands identified additional de novo, protein-altering mutations in GRIN2B, LAMC3 and SCN1A. Combined with copy number variant (CNV) data, these results indicate extreme locus heterogeneity but also provide a target for future discovery, diagnostics and therapeutics.

Regulatory genomic profiling in pure iPSC-derived human cortical neurons

Project description:For decades, technical and cost hurdles have prevented the systematic investigation of non-coding sequences in complex human diseases, and thus our knowledge about autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has been primarily obtained from analysis of protein-coding sequences. We have combined the analysis of whole genome sequencing with global studies of regulatory sequences of human cortical neurons to reveal the regulatory architecture of ASD. Analysis of de novo mutations from whole genome sequencing of 261 autism families revealed the physical proximity of ASD de novo mutations specifically to the cortical expression quantitative loci (eQTLs) of synaptic genes. We performed ATAC-Seq, ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq and Hi-C experiments on human cortical neurons, which for the first time provided a paranormal view of the regulatory landscape in these cells. We found that ASD de novo mutations preferentially affect regulatory elements, and the associated genes are shared targets of two ASD syndromic factors, CHD8 and PTEN. Analyzing 15 chromatin states across 127 human tissue/cell types revealed a significant enrichment of ASD de novo mutations in active transcription start sites and the perturbed genes implicated in neuron functions; this distribution enabled us to develop a machine-learning algorithm to assess potential ASD risk for a given individual. Taken together, our study for the first time revealed the regulatory landscape in human neurons, demonstrated the importance of the non-coding genome in ASD and provides a general framework for analyzing regulatory mutations for other complex human diseases.

RNA-seq of 36 individuals with autism spectrum disorder

Project description:To assess the clinical impact of splice-altering noncoding mutations in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we used a deep learning framework (SpliceAI) to predict the splice-altering potential of de novo mutations in 3,953 individuals with ASD from the Simons Simplex Collection. To validate these predictions, we selected 36 individuals that harbored predicted de-novo cryptic splice mutations; each individual represented the only case of autism within their immediate family. We obtained peripheral blood-derived lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) and performed high-depth mRNA sequencing (approximately 350 million 150 bp single-end reads per sample). We used OLego to align the reads against a reference created from hg19 by substituting de novo variants of each individual with the corresponding alternate allele.

Individuals with excess numbers of germline de novo CNVs [Illumina]

Project description:We describe a multiple de novo CNV (MdnCNV) phenomenon in which individuals with genomic disorders carry five to ten constitutional de novo CNVs. Five such families are studied, which consists of four trios and one singleton. Various array platforms are used to interogate these families to identify de novo CNVs.

Custom array CGH validation of de novo CNVs in asthma samples

Project description:This is the validation data for candidate de novo CNV calls made in the asthma trios by Itsara et al., Genome Research 2010. In this study, de novo CNV calls in the asthma data set were initially made with Illumina 550K SNP arrays. Validation was performed with custom Nimblegen array CGH for which DNA was available. de novo CNVs would be expected to validate in the child of each trio tested, and not be detected in either parent. We attempted to validate 9 de novo CNVs in the same number of trios. In 3 cases, paternal DNA was not available leaving a total of 24 distinct samples for hybridization. All samples were hybridized against a previously well-characterized reference (NA15510; see Tuzun et al., Nat Genet 2005).
