Classifying pathogenic variants in amyloid beta using intramolecular genetic interaction profiling

ABSTRACT: Changes in the amino acid sequences of proteins cause thousands of human genetic diseases. However, only a subset of variants in any protein is typically pathogenic, with variants having a diversity of molecular consequences. Determining which of the thousands of possible variants in any protein have similar molecular effects is very challenging, but crucial for identifying pathogenic variants, determining disease mechanisms, understanding clinical phenotypic variation, and developing targeted therapeutics. Here we present a general method to classify variants by their molecular effects that we term intramolecular genetic interaction profiling. The approach relies on the principle that variants with similar molecular consequences have similar genetic interactions with other variants in the same protein. These intramolecular genetic interactions are straightforward to quantify for any protein with a selectable function. We apply intramolecular genetic interaction profiling to amyloid beta, the protein that aggregates in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and is mutated in familial AD (fAD). Genetic interactions identify two classes of gain-of-function variants, with all known familial Alzheimer’s disease variants having very similar genetic interaction profiles, consistent with a common gain-of-function mechanism leading to pathology. We believe that intramolecular genetic interaction profiling is a powerful approach for classifying variants in disease genes that will empower rare variant association studies and the discovery of disease mechanisms.

Parkinson's disease genes VPS35 and EIF4G1 interact genetically and converge on alpha-synuclein

Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common human neurodegenerative movement disorder. Studies of the genetic forms of PD have helped to reveal disease mechanisms. Functional interactions between some Parkinson's disease (PD) genes, like PINK1 and parkin, have been identified, but whether other ones interact remains elusive. Here we report an unexpected genetic interaction between two PD genes, VPS35 and EIF4G1. We provide evidence that EIF4G1 upregulation causes defects associated with protein misfolding. Expression of a sortilin protein rescues these defects, downstream of VPS35, suggesting a potential role for sortilins in PD. We also show interactions between VPS35, EIF4G1 and alpha-synuclein, a protein with a key role in the pathogenesis of both sporadic and familial PD. We extend our findings from yeast to an animal model and show these interactions are conserved in neurons. We also connect VPS35 impairments to neurodegeneration in alpha-synuclein transgenic mice. Our studies reveal unexpected genetic and functional interactions between two seemingly unrelated PD genes and functionally connect them to alpha-synuclein pathobiology in yeast, worms, and mouse. Finally, we provide a resource of candidate PD genes for future genetic and functional interrogation.

An atlas of amyloid aggregation: the impact of substitutions, insertions, deletions and truncations on amyloid beta fibril nucleation

Project description:Multiplexed assays of variant effects (MAVEs) guide clinical variant interpretation and reveal disease mechanisms. To date, MAVEs have focussed on a single mutation type - amino acid (AA) substitutions - despite the diversity of coding variants that cause disease. Here we use Deep Indel Mutagenesis (DIM) to generate the first comprehensive atlas of diverse variant effects for a disease protein, amyloid beta (Aß) that aggregates in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and is mutated in familial AD (fAD). The atlas identifies known fAD variants and many mutations beyond substitutions that accelerate Aß aggregation. Truncations, substitutions, insertions, single- and multi-AA deletions differ in their propensity to enhance or impair aggregation, but likely pathogenic variants from all classes are strongly enriched in the polar N-terminus of Aß. This first comparative atlas for any disease gene highlights the importance of including diverse mutation types in MAVEs and provides important mechanistic insights into amyloid nucleation.

Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease specific phospholipase c gamma-1 SNV by deep-learning based approach for high throughput screening

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a multifactorial disease which is caused by inherited autosomal recessive as familial and late-onset as non-familial changes. However, the genetics of AD underlining variation or mutation are not well understood. Exon skipping through the occurrence of the unpredicted genetic events leads to variation of translation, but the event does not can be exploited for AD diagnosis. We identified a gene as phospholipase c gamma-1 (PLCγ1) with severe genetic modification in AD through deep-learning based high throughput screening which showed single nucleotide variants (SNVs). Genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from AD mouse model demonstrated that AD specific novel SNVs are preferentially occurred H3K27ac accumulated region at PLCγ1 gene body during the brain development. Moreover, exon skipping in mature mRNA was caused by single nucleotide insertion at 27th exon of PLCγ1 gene. In addition, we show mutation site was evolutionally conserved in various species included human which means important region for homeostasis. Collectively, our findings suggest the genetic variation and possibility of diagnosis potent of PLCγ1 for AD.

REACH Metabolomics Study

Project description:Increasing evidence indicates that physical activity and exercise training may delay or prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, systemic biomarkers that can measure exercise effects on brain function and that link to relevant metabolic responses are lacking. This study utilized blood samples of 23 asymptomatic late middle-aged adults with familial and genetic risk for AD who underwent 26 weeks of supervised treadmill training. Metabolomic profiles were evaluated using MS.

A compendium of promoter-centered long-range chromatin interactions in diverse human tissues and cell types

Project description:A large number of genetic variants associated with human diseases are found in non-coding DNA and may contribute to illness by affecting gene regulation, but mechanistic study of these variants has been hindered by a lack of information of their potential regulatory targets. In order to overcome this limitation, we generate maps of long-range chromatin interactions centered on 19,539 promoters in 27 human cell/tissue types, and use this information to infer putative target genes of candidate cis-regulatory sequences throughout the human genome. In additional to known enhancer-promoter interactions, we also confirm widespread promoter-promoter interactions and obtain evidence suggesting enhancer-like function for many promoter regions. These promoter-centered chromatin interaction maps corroborate target genes of genetic variants defined in previous genome-wide association studies, predict new target genes of many disease-associated genetic variants, and contribute novel insights into a broad spectrum of human traits and diseases.

Single-cell sequencing of cerebral organoids with familial Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mutation in PSEN1 and non-demented control

Project description:We set up a 3D model based on iPSCs derived from patients with familial forms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and healthy non-demented control. We created cerebral organoids (COs), verified their ability to mimic AD in vitro, and used it to explore early events and the progression of AD pathogenesis. Our data reveal that despite similar expression of cell-type-specific genes during CO maturation in vitro, AD-iPSCs derived COs show limited tissue patterning and altered cellular development. These findings complement unique single-cell sequencing data of AD-iPSCs derived COs confirming this observation and uncovering that a sub-set of neurons in AD-iPSCs likely differentiates prematurely while at the same time retaining the expression of progenitor marker PAX6.
