Project description:DNAm was assessed by the Illumina HumanMethylation450 BeadChip. In a meta-analytic approach, epigenome-wide DNAm changes in association with weighted life events were analyzed in two PD cohorts and afterwards meta-analyzed with MDD cases. This is the data from the MDD cohort

Project description:Background: Panic disorder (PD) is characterized by recurrent panic attacks and higher affection of women as compare to men. The lifetime prevalence of PD is about 2-3 % in the general population leading to tremendous distress and disability. Etiologically, genetic and environmental factors, such as stress, contribute to the onset and relapse of PD. In the present study, we investigated epigenome-wide DNA methylation (DNAm) in respond to a cumulative, stress-weighted life events score (wLE) in patients with PD and its boundary to major depressive disorder (MDD), frequently co-occurring with symptoms of PD. Methods: DNAm was assessed by the Illumina HumanMethylation450 BeadChip. In a meta-analytic approach, epigenome-wide DNAm changes in association with wLE were first analyzed in two PD cohorts (with a total sample size of 183 PD patients and 85 healthy controls) and lastly in 102 patients with MDD to identify possible overlapping and opposing effects of wLE on DNAm. Additionally, analysis of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) was conducted to identify regional clusters of association. Results: Two CpG-sites presented with p-values below 1x10-05 in PD: cg09738429 (p=6.40x10-06, located in an intergenic shore region in next proximity of PYROXD1) and cg03341655 (p=8.14x10-06, located in the exonic region of GFOD2). The association of DNAm at cg03341655 and wLE could be replicated in the independent MDD case sample indicating a diagnosis independent effect. Genes mapping to the top hits were significantly upregulated in brain and top hits have been implicated in the metabolic system. Additionally, two significant DMRs were identified for PD only on chromosome 10 and 18, including CpG-sites which have been reported to be associated with anxiety and other psychiatric phenotypes. Conclusion: This first DNAm analysis in PD reveals first evidence of small but significant DNAm changes in PD in association with cumulative stress-weighted life events. Most of the top associated CpG-sites are located in genes implicated in metabolic processes supporting the hypothesis that environmental stress contributes to health damaging changes by affecting a broad spectrum of systems in the body.

Project description:In this study, we examined the association of DNA methylation with metabolic traits in humans using adipose tissue samples from the Metabolic Syndrome in Men (METSIM) cohort. The METSIM cohort has been thoroughly characterized for longitudinal clinical data of metabolic traits including a 3-point oral glucose tolerance test, cardiovascular disorders, diabetes complications, drug and diet questionnaire, as well as high density genotyping, and genome-wide expression in adipose. We performed epigenome-wide association studies on clinical traits using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing data and identified 61 signifiant associations for metabolic syndrome traits, corresponding to 25 unique loci. These associations include previously known genes, FASN, RXRA, MSH2, and MSH6, as well as 22 loci harboring 18 new candidate genes for diabetes and obesity in humans.

Project description:Intra-individual stability of the urine miRNA transcriptome was examined by investigating longitudinal changes over time in a cohort of patients with localized prostate cancer. Using training and validation cohorts, urinary miRNA biomarkers are characterized and validated their utility to identify aggressive prostate cancer.

Project description:EPIC array data were generated from 2 MDD case control cohorts. EWAS was performed in each cohort, followed by meta-analysis between the 2 cohort. Cohort 1: A total of 191 blood samples from 112 patients with MDD was collected up till the interim analysis (wave 1 samples) from an observational clinical study OBSERVEMDD0001 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02489305) compared to 32 healthy controls; Cohort 2: The MDD cases (N = 359) were drawn from the Molecular Biomarkers of Antidepressant Response study compared to 68 healthy controls.
