Item Association of Structural Forms of 17q21.31 with the Risk of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and MAPT Sub-haplotypes(medRxiv, 2024-02-28) Wang, Hui; Chang, Timothy S.; Dombroski, Beth A.; Cheng, Po-Liang; Si, Ya-Qin; Tucci, Albert; Patil, Vishakha; Valiente-Banuet, Leopoldo; Farrell, Kurt; Mclean, Catriona; Molina-Porcel, Laura; Alex, Rajput; De Deyn, Peter Paul; Le Bastard, Nathalie; Gearing, Marla; Donker Kaat, Laura; Van Swieten, John C.; Dopper, Elise; Ghetti, Bernardino F.; Newell, Kathy L.; Troakes, Claire; de Yébenes, Justo G.; Rábano-Gutierrez, Alberto; Meller, Tina; Oertel, Wolfgang H.; Respondek, Gesine; Stamelou, Maria; Arzberger, Thomas; Roeber, Sigrun; Müller, Ulrich; Hopfner, Franziska; Pastor, Pau; Brice, Alexis; Durr, Alexandra; Le Ber, Isabelle; Beach, Thomas G.; Serrano, Geidy E.; Hazrati, Lili-Naz; Litvan, Irene; Rademakers, Rosa; Ross, Owen A.; Galasko, Douglas; Boxer, Adam L.; Miller, Bruce L.; Seeley, Willian W.; Van Deerlin, Vivianna M.; Lee, Edward B.; White, Charles L., III; Morris, Huw R.; de Silva, Rohan; Crary, John F.; Goate, Alison M.; Friedman, Jeffrey S.; Leung, Yuk Yee; Coppola, Giovanni; Naj, Adam C.; Wang, Li-San; PSP genetics study group; Dickson, Dennis W.; Höglinger, Günter U.; Tzeng, Jung-Ying; Geschwind, Daniel H.; Schellenberg, Gerard D.; Lee, Wan-Ping; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of MedicineImportance: The chromosome 17q21.31 region, containing a 900 Kb inversion that defines H1 and H2 haplotypes, represents the strongest genetic risk locus in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). In addition to H1 and H2, various structural forms of 17q21.31, characterized by the copy number of α, β, and γ duplications, have been identified. However, the specific effect of each structural form on the risk of PSP has never been evaluated in a large cohort study. Objective: To assess the association of different structural forms of 17q.21.31, defined by the copy numbers of α, β, and γ duplications, with the risk of PSP and MAPT sub-haplotypes. Design setting and participants: Utilizing whole genome sequencing data of 1,684 (1,386 autopsy confirmed) individuals with PSP and 2,392 control subjects, a case-control study was conducted to investigate the association of copy numbers of α, β, and γ duplications and structural forms of 17q21.31 with the risk of PSP. All study subjects were selected from the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP) Umbrella NG00067.v7. Data were analyzed between March 2022 and November 2023. Main outcomes and measures: The main outcomes were the risk (odds ratios [ORs]) for PSP with 95% CIs. Risks for PSP were evaluated by logistic regression models. Results: The copy numbers of α and β were associated with the risk of PSP only due to their correlation with H1 and H2, while the copy number of γ was independently associated with the increased risk of PSP. Each additional duplication of γ was associated with 1.10 (95% CI, 1.04-1.17; P = 0.0018) fold of increased risk of PSP when conditioning H1 and H2. For the H1 haplotype, addition γ duplications displayed a higher odds ratio for PSP: the odds ratio increases from 1.21 (95%CI 1.10-1.33, P = 5.47 × 10-5) for H1β1γ1 to 1.29 (95%CI 1.16-1.43, P = 1.35 × 10-6) for H1β1γ2, 1.45 (95%CI 1.27-1.65, P = 3.94 × 10-8) for H1β1γ3, and 1.57 (95%CI 1.10-2.26, P = 1.35 × 10-2) for H1β1γ4. Moreover, H1β1γ3 is in linkage disequilibrium with H1c (R2 = 0.31), a widely recognized MAPT sub-haplotype associated with increased risk of PSP. The proportion of MAPT sub-haplotypes associated with increased risk of PSP (i.e., H1c, H1d, H1g, H1o, and H1h) increased from 34% in H1β1γ1 to 77% in H1β1γ4. Conclusions and relevance: This study revealed that the copy number of γ was associated with the risk of PSP independently from H1 and H2. The H1 haplotype with more γ duplications showed a higher odds ratio for PSP and were associated with MAPT sub-haplotypes with increased risk of PSP. These findings expand our understanding of how the complex structure at 17q21.31 affect the risk of PSP.Item Convergence of genes and cellular pathways dysregulated in autism spectrum disorders(Elsevier, 2014-03-25) Pinto, Dalila; Delaby, Elsa; Merico, Daniele; Barbosa, Mafalda; Merikangas, Alison; Klei, Lambertus; Thiruvahindrapuram, Bhooma; Xu, Xiao; Ziman, Robert; Wang, Zhuozhi; Vorstman, Jacob A.S.; Thompson, Ann; Regan, Regina; Pilorge, Marion; Pellecchia, Giovanna; Pagnamenta, Alistair T.; Oliveira, Barbara; Marshall, Christian R.; Magalhaes, Tiago R.; Lowe, Jennifer K.; Howe, Jennifer L.; Griswold, Anthony J.; Gilbert, John; Duketis, Eftichia; Dombroski, Beth A.; De Jonge, Maretha V.; Cuccaro, Michael; Crawford, Emily L.; Correia, Catarina T.; Conroy, Judith; Conceicao, Ines C.; Chiocchetti, Andreas G.; Casey, Jillian P.; Cai, Guiqing; Cabrol, Christelle; Bolshakova, Nadia; Bacchelli, Elena; Anney, Richard; Gallinger, Steven; Cotterchio, Michelle; Casey, Graham; Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Wittemeyer, Kerstin; Wing, Kirsty; Wallace, Simon; van Engeland, Herman; Tryfon, Ana; Thomson, Susanne; Soorya, Latha; Roge´, Bernadette; Roberts, Wendy; Poustka, Fritz; Mouga, Susana; Minshew, Nancy; McInnes, L.

We analyzed 2,446 ASD-affected families and confirmed an excess of genic deletions and duplications in affected versus control groups (1.41-fold, p = 1.0 × 10−5) and an increase in affected subjects carrying exonic pathogenic CNVs overlapping known loci associated with dominant or X-linked ASD and intellectual disability (odds ratio = 12.62, p = 2.7 × 10−15, ∼3% of ASD subjects). Pathogenic CNVs, often showing variable expressivity, included rare de novo and inherited events at 36 loci, implicating ASD-associated genes (CHD2, HDAC4, and GDI1) previously linked to other neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as other genes such as SETD5, MIR137, and HDAC9. Consistent with hypothesized gender-specific modulators, females with ASD were more likely to have highly penetrant CNVs (p = 0.017) and were also overrepresented among subjects with fragile X syndrome protein targets (p = 0.02). Genes affected by de novo CNVs and/or loss-of-function single-nucleotide variants converged on networks related to neuronal signaling and development, synapse function, and chromatin regulation.Item Genetic meta-analysis of diagnosed Alzheimer's disease identifies new risk loci and implicates Aβ, tau, immunity and lipid processing(Springer Nature, 2019-03) Kunkle, Brian W.; Grenier-Boley, Benjamin; Sims, Rebecca; Bis, Joshua C.; Damotte, Vincent; Naj, Adam C.; Boland, Anne; Vronskaya, Maria; van der Lee, Sven J.; Amlie-Wolf, Alexandre; Bellenguez, Céline; Frizatti, Aura; Chouraki, Vincent; Martin, Eden R.; Sleegers, Kristel; Badarinarayan, Nandini; Jakobsdottir, Johanna; Hamilton-Nelson, Kara L.; Moreno-Grau, Sonia; Olaso, Robert; Raybould, Rachel; Chen, Yuning; Kuzma, Amanda B.; Hiltunen, Mikko; Morgan, Taniesha; Ahmad, Shahzad; Vardarajan, Badri N.; Epelbaum, Jacques; Hoffmann, Per; Boada, Merce; Beecham, Gary W.; Garnier, Jean-Guillaume; Harold, Denise; Fitzpatrick, Annette L.; Valladares, Otto; Moutet, Marie-Laure; Gerrish, Amy; Smith, Albert V.; Qu, Liming; Bacq, Delphine; Denning, Nicola; Jian, Xueqiu; Zhao, Yi; Del Zompo, Maria; Fox, Nick C.; Choi, Seung-Hoan; Mateo, Ignacio; Hughes, Joseph T.; Adams, Hieab H.; Malamon, John; Sanchez-Garcia, Florentino; Patel, Yogen; Brody, Jennifer A.; Dombroski, Beth A.; Deniz Naranjo, Maria Candida; Daniilidou, Makrina; Eiriksdottir, Gudny; Mukherjee, Shubhabrata; Wallon, David; Uphill, James; Aspelund, Thor; Cantwell, Laura B.; Garzia, Fabienne; Galimberti, Daniela; Hofer, Edith; Butkiewicz, Mariusz; Fin, Bertrand; Scarpini, Elio; Sarnowski, Chloe; Bush, Will S.; Meslage, Stéphane; Kornhuber, Johannes; White, Charles C.; Song, Yuenjoo; Barber, Robert C.; Engelborghs, Sebastiaan; Sordon, Sabrina; Voijnovic, Dina; Adams, Perrie M.; Vandenberghe, Rik; Mayhaus, Manuel; Cupples, L.

To identify LOAD risk loci, we performed a large genome-wide association meta-analysis of clinically diagnosed LOAD (94,437 individuals). We confirm 20 previous LOAD risk loci and identify five new genome-wide loci (IQCK, ACE, ADAM10, ADAMTS1, and WWOX), two of which (ADAM10, ACE) were identified in a recent genome-wide association (GWAS)-by-familial-proxy of Alzheimer's or dementia. Fine-mapping of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region confirms the neurological and immune-mediated disease haplotype HLA-DR15 as a risk factor for LOAD. Pathway analysis implicates immunity, lipid metabolism, tau binding proteins, and amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism, showing that genetic variants affecting APP and Aβ processing are associated not only with early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease but also with LOAD. Analyses of risk genes and pathways show enrichment for rare variants (P = 1.32 × 10-7), indicating that additional rare variants remain to be identified. We also identify important genetic correlations between LOAD and traits such as family history of dementia and education.Item Whole-genome sequencing analysis reveals new susceptibility loci and structural variants associated with progressive supranuclear palsy(Springer Nature, 2024-08-16) Wang, Hui; Chang, Timothy S.; Dombroski, Beth A.; Cheng, Po-Liang; Patil, Vishakha; Valiente-Banuet, Leopoldo; Farrell, Kurt; Mclean, Catriona; Molina-Porcel, Laura; Rajput, Alex; De Deyn, Peter Paul; Le Bastard, Nathalie; Gearing, Marla; Donker Kaat, Laura; Van Swieten, John C.; Dopper, Elise; Ghetti, Bernardino F.; Newell, Kathy L.; Troakes, Claire; de Yébenes, Justo G.; Rábano-Gutierrez, Alberto; Meller, Tina; Oertel, Wolfgang H.; Respondek, Gesine; Stamelou, Maria; Arzberger, Thomas; Roeber, Sigrun; Müller, Ulrich; Hopfner, Franziska; Pastor, Pau; Brice, Alexis; Durr, Alexandra; Le Ber, Isabelle; Beach, Thomas G.; Serrano, Geidy E.; Hazrati, Lili-Naz; Litvan, Irene; Rademakers, Rosa; Ross, Owen A.; Galasko, Douglas; Boxer, Adam L.; Miller, Bruce L.; Seeley, Willian W.; Van Deerlin, Vivanna M.; Lee, Edward B.; White, Charles L., III; Morris, Huw; de Silva, Rohan; Crary, John F.; Goate, Alison M.; Friedman, Jeffrey S.; Leung, Yuk Yee; Coppola, Giovanni; Naj, Adam C.; Wang, Li-San; P. S. P. genetics study group; Dalgard, Clifton; Dickson, Dennis W.; Höglinger, Günter U.; Schellenberg, Gerard D.; Geschwind, Daniel H.; Lee, Wan-Ping; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of MedicineBackground: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by the accumulation of aggregated tau proteins in astrocytes, neurons, and oligodendrocytes. Previous genome-wide association studies for PSP were based on genotype array, therefore, were inadequate for the analysis of rare variants as well as larger mutations, such as small insertions/deletions (indels) and structural variants (SVs). Method: In this study, we performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) and conducted association analysis for single nucleotide variants (SNVs), indels, and SVs, in a cohort of 1,718 cases and 2,944 controls of European ancestry. Of the 1,718 PSP individuals, 1,441 were autopsy-confirmed and 277 were clinically diagnosed. Results: Our analysis of common SNVs and indels confirmed known genetic loci at MAPT, MOBP, STX6, SLCO1A2, DUSP10, and SP1, and further uncovered novel signals in APOE, FCHO1/MAP1S, KIF13A, TRIM24, TNXB, and ELOVL1. Notably, in contrast to Alzheimer's disease (AD), we observed the APOE ε2 allele to be the risk allele in PSP. Analysis of rare SNVs and indels identified significant association in ZNF592 and further gene network analysis identified a module of neuronal genes dysregulated in PSP. Moreover, seven common SVs associated with PSP were observed in the H1/H2 haplotype region (17q21.31) and other loci, including IGH, PCMT1, CYP2A13, and SMCP. In the H1/H2 haplotype region, there is a burden of rare deletions and duplications (P = 6.73 × 10-3) in PSP. Conclusions: Through WGS, we significantly enhanced our understanding of the genetic basis of PSP, providing new targets for exploring disease mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.Item Whole-Genome Sequencing Analysis Reveals New Susceptibility Loci and Structural Variants Associated with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy(medRxiv, 2024-01-30) Wang, Hui; Chang, Timothy S.; Dombroski, Beth A.; Cheng, Po-Liang; Patil, Vishakha; Valiente-Banuet, Leopoldo; Farrell, Kurt; Mclean, Catriona; Molina-Porcel, Laura; Rajput, Alex; De Deyn, Peter Paul; Le Bastard, Nathalie; Gearing, Marla; Donker Kaat, Laura; Van Swieten, John C.; Dopper, Elise; Ghetti, Bernardino F.; Newell, Kathy L.; Troakes, Claire; de Yébenes, Justo G.; Rábano-Gutierrez, Alberto; Meller, Tina; Oertel, Wolfgang H.; Respondek, Gesine; Stamelou, Maria; Arzberger, Thomas; Roeber, Sigrun; Müller, Ulrich; Hopfner, Franziska; Pastor, Pau; Brice, Alexis; Durr, Alexandra; Le Ber, Isabelle; Beach, Thomas G.; Serrano, Geidy E.; Hazrati, Lili-Naz; Litvan, Irene; Rademakers, Rosa; Ross, Owen A.; Galasko, Douglas; Boxer, Adam L.; Miller, Bruce L.; Seeley, Willian W.; Van Deerlin, Vivanna M.; Lee, Edward B.; White, Charles L., III; Morris, Huw; de Silva, Rohan; Crary, John F.; Goate, Alison M.; Friedman, Jeffrey S.; Leung, Yuk Yee; Coppola, Giovanni; Naj, Adam C.; Wang, Li-San; PSP genetics study group; Dickson, Dennis W.; Höglinger, Günter U.; Schellenberg, Gerard D.; Geschwind, Daniel H.; Lee, Wan-Ping; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of MedicineBackground: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by the accumulation of aggregated tau proteins in astrocytes, neurons, and oligodendrocytes.
