Mapping autism risk loci using genetic linkage and chromosomal rearrangements

ABSTRACT: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are common, heritable neurodevelopmental conditions. The genetic architecture of ASD is complex, requiring large samples to overcome heterogeneity. Here we broaden coverage and sample size relative to other studies of ASD by using Affymetrix 10K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays and 1168 families with = 2 affected individuals to perform the largest linkage scan to date, while also analyzing copy number variation (CNV) in these families. Linkage and CNV analyses implicate chromosome 11p12-p13 and neurexins, respectively, amongst other candidate loci. Neurexins team with previously-implicated neuroligins for glutamatergic synaptogenesis, highlighting glutamate-related genes as promising candidates for ASD. Keywords: Autism spectrum disorder, Affymetrix SNP genotyping, linkage analysis, copy number analysis, chromosomal rearrangements.

Structural Variation of Chromosomes in Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Project description:Chromosomal abnormalities have been identified in some individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but their full etiologic role is unknown. Submicroscopic copy number variation (CNV) represents a considerable source of genetic variation in the human genome that contributes to phenotypic differences and disease susceptibility. To explore the contribution CNV imbalances in ASD, we genotyped unrelated ASD index cases using the Affymetrix GeneChip® 500K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mapping array. Keywords: Whole Genome Mapping SNP Genotyping Array

Cytogenetics 2.7M and Cytoscan HD 2.8M Microarrays in autistic families in the Lebanese population

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects these core domains: ritualistic-repetitive behaviors, impaired social interaction, and deficits in non-verbal communication/language development. Although ASD is heritable, its extreme heterogeneity defies genetic analyses. A number of ASD susceptibility genes have been identified. The Lebanese population is ideal for uncovering recessive genes because of a high rate of shared ancestry, consanguineous marriages, and high number of offspring per family. We recruited 36 ASD families (ASD: 37, unaffected parents: 36, unaffected siblings: 33). Cytogenetics 2.7M Microarrays/CytoScanâ¢ HD arrays allowed mapping of homozygous regions of the genome.

Transcriptome Profiling of patients with 16p11.2 rearrangements

Project description:The 600kb BP4-BP5 16p11.2 CNV (copy number variant) is associated with neuroanatomical, neurocognitive and metabolic disorders. These recurrent rearrangements are associated with reciprocal phenotypes such as obesity and underweight, macro- and microcephaly, as well as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia. Here we interrogated the transcriptome of individuals carrying reciprocal CNVs in 16p11.2. The genome-wide transcript perturbations correlated with clinical endophenotypes of the CNV and were enriched for genes associated with ASD. We uncovered a significant correlation between copy number changes and expression levels of genes mutated in ciliopathies. Transcriptome profiles of lymphoblastoid cell lines of 50 16p11.2 deletion carriers, 31 16p11.2 duplication carriers and 17 controls.

Comorbidities - microcephaly, facial dysmorphia and epilepsy - increase the risk of the pathogenic CNV finding in patients with intellectual disability and autism

Project description:CNV are known to be a frequent cause of the autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and intellectual disabilities (ID). However, the clinical heterogeneity of both disorders causes the diagnostic efficacy of CNV analysis to be modest. We conclude that comorbidities such as microcephaly, facial dysmorphia and epilepsy increase the risk of the pathogenic CNV finding in patients with ID and ASD. However, the significance of these comorbidities differs between both groups and shows dependency on whether the patients were primarily classified as ID or ASD. We suggest that stratification of the patients according to their comorbidities before testing can increase the yield of the detection rate of pathogenic CNV in both groups. The likelihood of pathogenic CNV detection in ASD patients without any comorbidities is low. Therefore, the effectivity of CNV analysis in these cases is modest

Affymetrix CytoScan HD for autism spectrum disorder in children

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex heterogeneous developmental disease with a significant genetic background that is frequently caused by rare copy number variants (CNV). The aim of the study was to identify new candidate genes for ASD in the studied cohort of ASD-diagnosed patients. We used chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) - a Cytoscan HD (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA) to detect CNV in 87 ASD patients and their relatives and evaluated their clinical significance. Pathogenic and likely pathogenic mutations were identified by CMA in 8 and 9 ASD patients, respectively. CMA revealed 89 rare CNV: 8 pathogenic, 12 designated VOUS - likely pathogenic, 12 VOUS - uncertain, and 57 VOUS - likely benign or benign. CNV (pathogenic/VOUS-likely pathogenic/VOUS - uncertain) overlapping the same gene in more than one patient were observed in DOCK8 gene and PARK2 gene. This work presents new evidence about the possible roles of PARK2 and DOCK8 in the etiology of ASD, and suggests CTNNA2 as a candidate gene for ASD risk.

Excessive UBE3A dosage impairs fine-tuning of retinoid acid signaling in autism spectrum disorders

Project description:The autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a collection of disorders with heterogeneous etiology, exhibiting common traits including impaired social interactions and communications, repetitive behaviors. 15q11-q13 copy number variations (CNV) were found in 1-3% of ASD cases; of which the detailed mechanism of the major contributor UBE3A gene acted still remained elusive. Here we identified a key enzyme in RA synthesis, negatively regulated in ubiquitination-dependent mode promoted by UBE3A. Our data provide evidences linking UBE3A hyperactivity with ASD phenotypes, with implications for understanding ASD etiology and providing potential interventions in ASD clinical therapy.

Use of clinical chromosomal microarray in Chinese patients with autism spectrum disorder - implications of a copy number variation involving dpp10 (CGX-12)

Project description:Background: Array-Comparative-Genomic-Hybridization (aCGH) is recommended as first-tier genetic test for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, result interpretation can be challenging as copy number variants (CNVs) in non-European ASD patients is not well studied. To address this literature gap, we report the CNV findings in a cohort of Chinese children with ASD. Methods DNA samples were obtained from 258 Chinese ASD patients recruited from a child assessment center between January 2011 and August 2014. aCGH was performed using NimbleGen-CGX-135k or Agilent-CGX 60k oligonucleotide array. Results were classified based on existing guidelines and literature. Results: Ten pathogenic and one likely-pathogenic CNVs were found in nine patients, with an overall diagnostic yield of 3.5%. A 138kb duplication involving 3â exons of DPP10 (hg[19]chr2:116534689-116672358), reported to be associated with ASD, was identified in one patient (0.39%). The same CNV was reported as variant of unknown significance (VUS) in DECIPHER database. Multiple individuals of typical development carrying a similar duplication were identified amongst our ancestry-matched control with frequency of 6/653 (0.92%) as well as from literature and genomic databases. Conclusions: DPP10 duplication is likely a benign CNV polymorphism enriched in Southern Chinese with population frequency of ~1%. This highlights the importance of using ancestry-matched controls in interpretation of aCGH findings.
