Gene expression levels in African Americans vary with genetic ancestry at most expressed genes

ABSTRACT: Variation in gene expression is a fundamental aspect of human phenotypic variation. Several studies have analyzed gene expression levels in populations of different continental ancestry, and concluded that there is variation across populations at a fraction of expressed genes. Here we analyze gene expression levels in African American cell lines, which differ from previously analyzed cell lines in that samples from this population have variable proportions of continental ancestry. We show that for most genes examined, gene expression varies with genetic ancestry. Keywords: Human Gene Expression Study

Transcription profiling of human samples show variation in african americans with genetic ancestry at most expressed genes

Project description:Variation in gene expression is a fundamental aspect of human phenotypic variation. Several studies have analyzed gene expression levels in populations of different continental ancestry, and concluded that there is variation across populations at a fraction of expressed genes. Here we analyze gene expression levels in African American cell lines, which differ from previously analyzed cell lines in that samples from this population have variable proportions of continental ancestry. We show that for most genes examined, gene expression varies with genetic ancestry. Experiment Overall Design: Lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) for 60 HapMap CEU, 60 HapMap YRI, and 82 AFA from the Human Variation Panel were obtained from Coriell Cell Repositories. LCLs were grown in culture, total RNA was extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix HG-FOCUS arrays.

Peptide Ancestry Informative Markers in Uterine Neoplasms from Women of European, African and Asian Ancestry

Project description:Characterization of ancestry-linked peptide variants in disease-relevant patient tissues represents a foundational step to connect patient ancestry with molecular disease pathogenesis. Nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) encoding missense substitutions within tryptic peptides exhibiting high allele frequencies in European, African, and East Asian populations, termed peptide ancestry informative markers (pAIMs), were prioritized from 1000 genomes. In silico analysis shows that as few as 20 pAIMs can determine ancestry proportions similarly to >260K SNPs (R2=0.9905). Multiplexed proteomic analysis of >100 human endometrial cancer cell lines and uterine leiomyoma (ULM) tissues combined resulted in the quantitation of 62 pAIMs that correlate with self-described race and genotype-confirmed patient ancestry. Candidates include a D451E substitution in GC vitamin D-binding protein previously associated with altered vitamin D levels in African and European populations. These efforts describe a generalized set of markers for proteoancestry assessment that will further support studies investigating the impact of ancestry on the human proteome and how this relates to the pathogenesis of uterine neoplasms.

Uncovering the role admixture in health disparities: Association of hepatocyte gene expression and DNA methylation to African Ancestry in African-Americans [Methylation]

Project description:In African Americans (AA), the proportion of West African ancestry (WAA) may explain the genetic drivers of health disparities in disease. Analysis of RNA sequencing data from sixty AA-derived primary hepatocytes identified 32 gene expression profiles associated with WAA (FDR <0.05) with enrichment in angiogenesis and inflammatory pathways (FDR <0.1). Association of DNA methylation to WAA identified 1037 differentially methylated regions (FDR <0.05), with hypomethylated genes enriched for drug response pathways. Within the PharmGKB pharmacogene, VDR, PTGIS, ALDH1A1, CYP2C19 and P2RY1 were associated with WAA (p <0.05) with replication of CYP2C19 and VDR in the GTEx liver cohort. For every 1% increment in WAA, P2RY1 gene expression increased by 1.6% and CYP2C19 gene expression decreased by 1.4%, suggesting effects on clopidogrel response and platelet aggregation. We conclude that WAA contributes to variablity in hepatic gene expression and DNA methylation with identified genes indicative of health disparities prevalent in AAs.

African Ancestry Associated Gene Expression Profiles in Triple Negative Breast Cancer Underlie Altered Tumor Biology and Clinical Outcome in Women of African Descent

Project description:Women of sub-Saharan African descent have disproportionately higher incidence of Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), and TNBC-specific mortality. Population comparative studies show racial differences in TNBC biology, including higher prevalence of basal-like and Quadruple-Negative subtypes in African Americans (AA). However, previous investigations relied on self-reported race (SRR) of primarily United States (US) populations. Due to heterogenous genetic admixture, and biological consequences of social determinants, the true association of African ancestry with TNBC biology is unclear. To address this, we conducted RNAseq on an international cohort of AAs, west and east Africans with TNBC. Using comprehensive genetic ancestry estimation in this African-enriched cohort, we found expression of 613 genes associated with African ancestry and 2000+ associated with regional African ancestry. A subset of African-associated genes also showed differences in normal breast tissue. Pathway enrichment and deconvolution of tumor cellular composition revealed tumor-associated immunological profiles are distinct in patients of African descent.

Genome-wide Patterns of Population Structure and Admixture among Hispanic/Latino Populations

Project description:Hispanic/Latino populations possess a complex genetic structure that reflects recent admixture among and potentially ancient substructure within Native American, European, and West African source populations. Here, we quantify genome-wide patterns of SNP and haplotype variation among 100 individuals with ancestry from Ecuador, Colombia, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic genotyped using Illumina technology. To investigate variations of continental ancestry between different Hispanic/Latino groups (using self-reported country-specific identification of individual, both parents, and all four grandparents) and within them from healthy controls represented in the New York Health Project Biorepository. Genotyped on the Illumina 610-Quad, which is identical to HumanHap550-v3 SNPs plus an additional ~60,000 SNPs for CNV, no CNV data is provided or was analyzed.

Genetic Ancestry and Natural Selection Drive Population Differences in Immune Responses to Pathogens

Project description:Individuals from different populations vary considerably in their susceptibility to immune-related diseases. To understand how genetic variation and natural selection contribute to these differences, we tested for the effects of African versus European ancestry on the transcriptional response of primary macrophages to live bacterial pathogens. A total of 9.3% of macrophage-expressed genes show ancestry-associated differences in the gene regulatory response to infection, and African ancestry specifically predicts a stronger inflammatory response and reduced intracellular bacterial growth. A large proportion of these differences are under genetic control: for 804 genes, more than 75% of ancestry effects on the immune response can be explained by a single cis- or trans-acting expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL). Finally, we show that genetic effects on the immune response are strongly enriched for recent, population-specific signatures of adaptation. Together, our results demonstrate how historical selective events continue to shape human phenotypic diversity today, including for traits that are key to controlling infection.
