Mechanisms and disease associations of haplotype-dependent allele specific DNA methylation: Methyl-seq data for the identification of hap-ASM


ABSTRACT: Haplotype-dependent allele-specific methylation (hap-ASM) can impact disease susceptibility, but maps of this phenomenon using stringent criteria in disease-relevant tissues remain sparse. Here we apply array-based and Methyl-seq approaches to multiple human tissues and cell types, including brain, purified neurons and glia, T lymphocytes, and placenta, and identify 795 hap-ASM differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and 3,082 strong methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTLs), most not previously reported. More than half of these DMRs have cell type-restricted ASM, and among them are 188 hap-ASM DMRs and 933 mQTLs located near GWAS signals for immune and neurological disorders. Targeted bis-seq confirmed hap-ASM in 12/13 loci tested, including CCDC155, CD69, FRMD1, IRF1, KBTBD11, and S100A*-ILF2, associated with immune phenotypes, MYT1L, PTPRN2,CMTM8 and CELF2, associated with neurological disorders, NGFR and HLA-DRB6, associated with both immunological and brain disorders, and ZFP57, a trans-acting regulator of genomic imprinting. Polymorphic CTCF and transcription factor (TF) binding sites are over-represented among hap-ASM DMRs and mQTLs, and analysis of the human data, supplemented by cross-species comparisons to Macaca mulattamacaques, indicates that CTCF and TF binding likelihood predicts the strength and direction of the allelic methylation asymmetry. These results show that hap-ASM is highly tissue-specific; an important trans-acting regulator of genomic imprinting is regulated by this phenomenon; variation in CTCF and TF binding sites is an underlying mechanism in primary tissues, and maps of hap-ASM and mQTLs reveal regulatory sequences underlying supera- and sub-threshold GWAS peaks in immunological and neurological disorders.
