The Asian Diversity Project (ADP) assembled 37 cosmopolitan and ethnic minority populations in Asia that have been densely genotyped across over half a million markers to study patterns of genetic diversity and positive natural selection. We performed population structure analyses of the ADP populations and divided these populations into four major groups based on their genographic information. By applying a highly sensitive algorithm haploPS to locate genomic signatures of positive selection, 1 ...[more]

Project description:As Asians are underrepresented across many omics databases limiting the potential of precision medicine of the global population. It is thus important for multi-omics derived quantitative trait loci (QTLs) to fill the knowledge gap of complex traits in the Asian ancestry. Integrating omics data from genomics and epigenomics (including DNA methylation and RNA-seq from blood), we developed iMOMdb, an open-acesss database to enhance disease prediction models and precision medicine outcomes in Asian pregnant women.

Project description:The history of human settlement in Southeast Asia has been complex and involved several distinct dispersal events. Here we report the analyses of 1825 individuals from Southeast Asia including new genome-wide genotype data for 146 individuals from three Mainland Southeast Asian (Burmese, Malay and Vietnamese) and four Island Southeast Asian (Dusun, Filipino, Kankanaey and Murut) populations. While confirming the presence of previously recognized major ancestry components in the Southeast Asian population structure, we highlight the Kankanaey Igorots from the highlands of the Philippine Mountain Province as likely the closest living representatives of the source population that may have given rise to the Austronesian expansion. This conclusion rests on independent evidence from various analyses of autosomal data and uniparental markers.

Project description:Genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed in 120 patient-parents trio samples from Japanese schizophrenia pedigrees ABSTRACT: Schizophrenia is a devastating neuropsychiatric disorder with genetically complex traits. Genetic variants should explain a considerable portion of the risk for schizophrenia, and genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a potentially powerful tool for identifying the risk variants that underlie the disease. Here, we report the results of a three-stage analysis of three independent cohorts consisting of a total of 2,535 samples from Japanese and Chinese populations for searching schizophrenia susceptibility genes using a GWAS approach. Firstly, we examined 115,770 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 120 patient-parents trio samples from Japanese schizophrenia pedigrees. In stage II, we evaluated 1,632 SNPs (1,159 SNPs of p < 0.01 and 473 SNPs of p < 0.05 that located in previously reported linkage regions). The second sample consisted of 1,012 case-control samples of Japanese origin. The most significant p value was obtained for the SNP in the ELAVL2 [(embryonic lethal, abnormal vision, Drosophila)-like 2] gene located on 9p21.3 (p = 0.00087). In stage III, we scrutinized the ELAVL2 gene by genotyping gene-centric tagSNPs in the third sample set of 293 family samples (1,163 individuals) of Chinese descent and the SNP in the gene showed a nominal association with schizophrenia in Chinese population (p = 0.026). The current data in Asian population would be helpful for deciphering ethnic diversity of schizophrenia etiology.

Project description:The influence of genetics on DNA methylation (DNAme) variation is well documented, yet confounding from population stratification is often unaccounted for in DNAme association studies. Existing approaches have been developed to address confounding by population stratification by directly using DNAme data, but have not been validated in additional human populations or tissues, such as the placenta. Results: To aid future placental DNAme studies in assessing population stratification, we developed an ethnicity classifier, PLANET (placental elastic net DNAme ethnicity classifier), on combined Infinium Human Methylation 450k BeadChip array (HM450k) data from placental samples. We used data from five North American cohorts from private and public repositories (n = 509) and show that PLANET can not only accurately predict (accuracy = 0.9379, kappa = 0.8227) major classes of self-reported ethnicity/race (African: n = 58, Asian: n = 53, Caucasian: n = 389), but can also produce probabilities that are highly correlated with genetic ancestry inferred from genome-wide SNP (>2.5 million SNP) and ancestry informative markers (n=50) data. We found that PLANET’s ethnicity classification relies on 1860 DNAme microarray sites, and over half of these were also linked to nearby genetic polymorphisms (n=955). Lastly, we found our placental-optimized method outperforms existing approaches in assessing population stratification in our placental samples from individuals of Asian, African, and Caucasian ethnicities. Conclusion: PLANET outperforms existing methods and heavily relies on the genetic signal present in DNAme microarray data. PLANET can be used to address population stratification in future placental DNAme association studies, and will be especially useful when ethnicity information is missing and genotyping markers are unavailable.

Project description:Background: Mortality from preeclampsia (PE) and PE-associated morbidities are 3-to 5-fold higher in persons of African ancestry than in those of Asian and European ancestries. The placenta is central to the etiology of PE. However, how and to what extent the placenta contributes to worse PE outcomes in persons of African ancestry is yet to be fully elucidated. Objective: We aimed to identify molecular pathways that are unique or enriched in placentas of parturient persons of African ancestry with PE with severe features (sPE) compared to those of Asian and European ancestry with sPE. Study design: Bulk RNA sequencing was performed on 50 placentas from parturient persons with sPE of African (n=9), Asian (n=18) and European (n=23) ancestries and 73 normotensive controls of African (n=9), Asian (n=15) and European (n=49) ancestries. Results: Metabolism, hormone regulation and hypoxia/angiogenesis genes, previously described to be upregulated in PE, including: LEP, PAPPA2, INHA, FSTL3, FLT1, PHYHIP and ENG, were upregulated in sPE across ancestries, with high expression of FSTL3 being additionally associated with intrauterine growth restriction (p<.0001). Notably, LEP, FLT1 and PHYHIP were more highly upregulated in sPE placentas from parturient persons of African versus Asian ancestry. Genes associated with allograft rejection and adaptive immune response were selectively upregulated in placentas from African ancestry parturitions and not in those of Asian and European ancestries. Among the allograft rejection/adaptive immune response genes, IL3RA was of particular interest because the patient with the highest placental IL3RA level, a woman of African ancestry with IL3RA levels 4.5-fold above the average for African ancestry parturitions with sPE, developed postpartum cardiomyopathy, and was the only patient out of 123, that developed this condition. Interestingly, the sPE patients of Asian and European ancestries with the highest IL3RA levels for their ancestries developed unexplained tachycardia peripartum, necessitating echocardiography in the European ancestry patient. The association between elevated placental IL3RA levels and unexplained tachycardia or peripartum cardiomyopathy was found to be significant in the 50 sPE patients (p=.0005). Conclusions: African ancestry parturitions are associated with higher placental upregulation of metabolism (LEP) and hypoxia/angiogenesis (FLT1) genes, and selective upregulation of allograft rejection/adaptive immune response genes, including IL3RA. High placental expression of IL3RA may predict worse maternal cardiovascular outcomes, including peripartum cardiomyopathy. Studies evaluating placental IL3RA levels in peripartum cardiomyopathy cohorts are therefore warranted, as are broader studies evaluating placental factors in maternal cardiovascular outcomes postpartum.

Project description:Linguistic and cultural evidence suggests that Madagascar was the final point of two major dispersals of Austronesian and Bantu speaking populations. Today, Mikea are described as the last known Malagasy population reported to be still practising a hunter-gatherer life-style. It is unclear, however, whether Mikea descend from a remnant population that existed before the arrival of Austronesian and Bantu agriculturalists or whether it is only their life-style that separates them from the other contemporary populations of South Madagascar. In order to address these questions we have performed a genome wide analysis of >700,000 SNP markers on 21 Mikea, 24 Vezo and 24 Temoro individuals together with 50 individuals from Bajo and Lebbo populations from Indonesia. Our analyses of these data in the context of data available from other Southeast Asian and African populations reveal that all three Malagasy populations are derived from the same admixture event involving Austronesian and Bantu sources. In contrast to the fact that most of the vocabulary of the Malagasy speakers is derived from the Barito group of the Austronesian language family we observe that only one third of their genetic ancestry is related to the populations of Java-Kalimantan-Sulawesi area. Because no additional ancestry components distinctive to for the Mikea were found, it is likely that they have adopted their hunter-gatherer way of life by through cultural reversion. 69 samples were analysed with the Illumina platform OmniExpress BeadChips and are described herein.

Project description:The genetic structure of some native Bolivians has been substantially influenced by admixture from Europeans, which we estimate to have occurred approximately 360 – 384 years ago. Consistent with historical accounts of male admixture, Y-chromosome haplogroups typical of Europeans were found in 39% of our Bolivian samples. No evidence of African admixture was found in native Bolivians. The Mesoamerican Totonacs have little evidence of European or African admixture. Our analysis indicates that some admixed Bolivians have Native American mtDNA and Y-chromosomes but harbor up to 30% European autosomal ancestry, demonstrating the need for autosomal markers to assess ancestry in admixed populations. From a dense genome-wide panel of 815,377 markers, we developed a set of 324 AIMs, specific for Native American ancestry. As few a 40-50 of these markers successfully predict New World ancestry in the ascertainment panel of Bolivians and Totonacs. The markers easily distinguish New World from Old World ancestry, even for populations more closely related to the Americas such as central and eastern Asians, and were effective for New World vs. Old World comparisons in five other geographically and culturally distinct populations of the Americas. SNPs demonstrating very high divergence between the two Native American populations and major Old World populations are found on haplotypes that are shared and occur at similar frequencies in other indigenous low-admixture American populations examined here (i.e. Pima, Maya, Colombian, Karitiana, and Surui). After excluding the possibility of recent relatedness, our results indicate that native Bolivians and Totonacs share ancestry with other American populations through a substantial contribution from a common founding population, population bottlenecks, and possible natural selection on functional variation.

Project description:Despite being located at the crossroads of Asia, genetics of the Afghanistan populations have been largely overlooked. It is currently inhabited by five major ethnic populations: Pashtun, Tajik, Hazara, Uzbek and Turkmen. Here we present autosomal from a subset of our samples, mitochondrial and Y- chromosome data from over 500 Afghan samples among these 5 ethnic groups. This Afghan data was supplemented with the same Y-chromosome analyses of samples from Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia and updated Pakistani samples (HGDP-CEPH). The data presented here was integrated into existing knowledge of pan-Eurasian genetic diversity. The pattern of genetic variation, revealed by structure-like and Principal Component analyses and Analysis of Molecular Variance indicates that the people of Afghanistan are made up of a mosaic of components representing various geographic regions of Eurasian ancestry. The absence of a major Central Asian-specific component indicates that the Hindu Kush, like the gene pool of Central Asian populations in general, is a confluence of gene flows rather than a source of distinctly autochthonous populations that have arisen in situ: a conclusion that is reinforced by the phylogeography of both haploid loci. 24 samples were analysed with the Illumina platform Human660W-Quad v1.0 Genotyping BeadChip and are described herein.
