Project description:Prostate cancer (PrCa) manifests substantial variation in incidence rates among distinct populations. African American (AA) men are more likely to be diagnosed with and die from PrCa than European American (EA) men. Despite ongoing advancements in identifying polygenic risk variants from large genome-wide association study (GWAS) cohorts, the genetic mechanisms underlying the higher prevalence of PrCa in AA men remain unclear. A systematic approach that does not rely on extensive cohorts to identify causal regulatory variants contributing to PrCa development is still lacking. Here, by employing a sequence-based deep learning model of prostate regulatory enhancers, we identified ~2,000 essential SNPs (eSNPs) with increased alternative allele frequency in AA and which potentially affect the enhancer function leading to greater PrCa susceptibility. The identified eSNPs potentially mediate PrCa development through two complementary mechanisms: alternative alleles with increased enhancer activity are associated with immune system suppression, while those with decreased enhancer activity are linked to differentiation processes. Interestingly, the eSNPs disrupt the binding of key prostate transcription factors including FOX, AR and HOX families, collectively contributing to PrCa predisposition. Together these eSNPs can be used to assess polygenic risk score that is more effective than previous GWAS-based risk scores in distinguishing individuals with PrCa from the control.

Project description:The Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP 6.0 and CytoScan HD arrays are high-resolution SNP platforms for studying copy number variations in the human genome. It is widely being used in both clinical and research settings for identifying causative variants as well as interrogating the genome for benign variants. We employed this platform to investigate the burden of clinically relevant rare (<0.1% in population controls) CNVs in individuals with schizophrenia, stratified by IQ group. We genotyped 540 unrelated probands with schizophrenia and applied rigorous methods to detect genome-wide CNVs. All rare CNV >500 kb and all rare exonic CNV >100 kb were adjudicated for clinical relevance following the American College of Medical Genetics guidelines for CNV interpretation. Our results revealed that burden of pathogenic CNVs is significantly greater for individuals with schizophrenia and low IQ compared to those with normal to superior IQ

Sequencing studies of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have identified numerous risk genes with enriched expression in the human brain, but it is still unclear how these genes converge into cell type-specific networks and how their encoded proteins mechanistically contribute to ASDs. To address this question, we performed brain cell type-specific interaction proteomics to build a protein-protein interaction network for 13 ASD risk genes in human excitatory neurons derived from iPS cells. The network contains many (>90%) interactions not reported in the literature and is enriched for transcriptionally perturbed genes observed in layer 2/3 cortical neurons of ASD patients, indicating that it can be explored for ASD-relevant biological discovery. We leveraged the network dataset to show that the brain-specific isoform of ANK2 is important for its interactions with synaptic proteins and characterized a PTEN-AKAP8L interaction that influences neuronal growth through the mTOR pathway. The IGF2BP1-3 complex emerges as a point of convergence in the network, and we showed that this complex is involved in a transcriptional circuit concentrating both common and rare variant risk of ASDs. Finally, we found the network itself enriched for ASD rare variant risk, indicating that it can complement genetic datasets for prioritizing additional risk genes. Our findings establish brain cell type-specific interactomes as an organizing framework to facilitate interpretation of genetic and transcriptomic data in ASDs and illustrate how both individual and convergent interactions lead to biological insights into the disease.

Project description:Here we show that pan-haematopoietic ERG expression driven by the Vav promoter induces an early progenitor myeloid leukemia in transgenic mice. Integrated genome-scale analysis of gene expression and ERG binding profiles revealed that ERG activates a transcriptional program similar to human AML stem/progenitor cells and human AML with high ERG expression. We further show that ERG induces expression of the Pim1 kinase oncogene through a novel enhancer element validated in transgenic mice, and Pim1 inhibition disrupts growth and induces apoptosis of ERG-driven leukemic cells. In addition, ERG indirectly induces the RAS pathway and direct RAS inhibition by a RAS inhibitor blocks growth of leukemia cells in vitro and in vivo. Thus, integrative genomic analysis of transgenic ERG leukemias reveals mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets of high ERG expressing AML. Spleen cells were fixed with 1% formaldehyde and ChIP assays were performed as previously described (Wilson NK et al., 2010 Cell Stem Cell) using polyclonal antibodies against ERG-1/2/3 (clone C-17, Sc354X, Santa Cruz) and control nonspecific rabbit IgG (I5006, Sigma).

Project description:The maturation of single cell transcriptomic technologies has facilitated the generation of comprehensive cellular atlases from whole embryos. A majority of this data, however, has been collected from wild type embryos without an appreciation for latent variation present in development. Here we present single cell transcriptomic data from 1812 individually resolved developing zebrafish embryos, encompassing 19 time points, 23 genetic perturbations, and totaling 3.2M cells. The high degree of replication in our study (8 or more embryos per condition) allows us to estimate the variance in cell type abundance organism-wide and to detect perturbation-dependent deviance in cell type composition relative to wild type embryos. Our approach is sensitive to rare cell types, resolving developmental trajectories and genetic dependencies in the cranial ganglia neurons, a cell population that comprises less than 1% of the embryo. Additionally, time-series profiling of individual mutants identified a group of brachyury-independent cells with strikingly similar transcriptomes to notochord sheath cells, leading to new hypotheses about the origins of the skull. We anticipate that standardized collection of high-resolution, organism-scale single cell data from large numbers of individual embryos will enable mapping the genetic dependencies of zebrafish cell types, while also addressing long-standing challenges in developmental genetics, including the cellular and transcriptional plasticity underlying phenotypic diversity across individuals.

Project description:Mouse skin carcinogenesis experiments suggest upon carcinogen treatment and promotion on mouse skin there arise at least two populations of tumors. One population has a higher incidence of progression from benign papilloma to a squamous cell carcinoma. Further studies have shown that a certain carcinogenesis protocol can select for these high risk tumors. These microarray experiments aim to reveal the genetic signatures of the low risk and high risk papilloma. Keywords: Genetic Signatures

Project description:<p>This study was designed to assess the phenotypic effects of rare variants. Rare variants are difficult to study in a high-throughput manner because most cohorts are underpowered to detect associations. In order to gain power to test rare variants, we use Phenotype Risk Scores (PheRS) based on features of Mendelian diseases. PheRS is calculated using claims data from an EHR that is mapped to clinical features from OMIM's clinical descriptions of Mendelian disease. We calculated PheRS for 1,204 Mendelians diseases in a cohort of 21,701 individuals genotyped on the HumanExome BeadChip. We then tested for association between these diseases and rare variants in causal genes. </p> <p>A phenotype risk score is calculated as the weighted sum of features for a given disease. The features are defined as a set of phecodes (consolidated ICD codes) associated with a particular <a href="javascript:getPage(this, 'document.cgi', 7484);return true;" onclick="javascript:getPage(this, 'document.cgi', 7484);return true;" oncontextmenu="javascript:getPage(this, 'document.cgi', 7484);return true;">Mendelian disease</a> as described in OMIM. The weights for each phecode are calculated as the log inverse prevalence of the phecode in our cohort. For an individual, their score equals the sum of the weights for each phecode that is present in their medical record.</p> <p>Our study was based on a cohort of individuals with genotype data linked to de-identified electronic health records (EHR) from Vanderbilt's BioVU resource. We hope that this method will help generate phenotype-genotype correlation data on rare variants which in turn may inform rare variant interpretations use for diagnostics. </p>

Project description:The widespread application of single-cell genomics technologies has accelerated our understanding of the breadth and depth of heterogeneity of cell states across diverse contexts. As single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has been the most popular modality used for profiling, many populations have been described primarily based on specific marker transcript profiles compared to classical cytometry approaches relying on protein expression. Additionally, many single cell studies require the isolation of nuclei from tissue, eliminating the ability to enrich learned rare cell states based on extranuclear protein markers. To address this limitation, we describe Programmable Enrichment via RNA Flow-FISH by sequencing (PERFF-seq), a scalable assay that enables single cell and single nuclei RNA-seq profiling from subpopulations of complex cellular mixtures solely defined by the abundance of RNA transcripts. Across vignettes of immune cell populations as well as nuclei from fresh frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded brain tissue, we demonstrate the enrichment of cell populations via RNA-based cytometry upstream of high-throughput scRNA-seq. Together, our approach provides a rational, programmable method for studying cell identities and transcriptional heterogeneity of rare populations identifiable by as few as one marker transcript, advancing the rational study of cellular diversity across fresh and archived tissue materials.

Project description:Adult hippocampal neurogenesis, relies on a rare population of neural stem and progenitor cells (NPCs) within the dentate gyrus complex microenvironment. Discovering the specific genes that define these cells is vital yet challenging due to overlapping expression patterns, limiting detection of rare cell populations using traditional approaches. By employing the computational Digital Sorting Algorithm (DSA) on microarray data we identified 129 genes enriched in murine NPCs.
