Variant-set analysis is a powerful approach to study RV association. However, existing methods have limited ability in analyzing the noncoding genome. We propose a computationally efficient and robust noncoding RV association detection framework, STAARpipeline, to automatically annotate a whole-genome sequencing study and perform flexible noncoding RV association analysis, including gene-centric analysis and fixed window-based and dynamic window-based non-gene-centric analysis by incorporating variant functional annotations. In gene-centric analysis, STAARpipeline uses STAAR to group noncoding variants based on functional categories of genes and incorporate multiple functional annotations. In non-gene-centric analysis, STAARpipeline uses SCANG-STAAR to incorporate dynamic window sizes and multiple functional annotations. We apply STAARpipeline to identify noncoding RV sets associated with four lipid traits in 21,015 discovery samples from the Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program and replicate several of them in an additional 9,123 TOPMed samples. We also analyze five non-lipid TOPMed traits.Item Low-frequency and rare exome chip variants associate with fasting glucose and type 2 diabetes susceptibility(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-01-29) Wessel, Jennifer; Chu, Audrey Y.; Willems, Sara M.; Wang, Shuai; Yaghootkar, Hanieh; Brody, Jennifer A.; Dauriz, Marco; Hivert, Marie-France; Raghavan, Sridharan; Lipovich, Leonard; Hidalgo, Bertha; Fox, Keolu; Huffman, Jennifer E.; An, Ping; Lu, Yingchang; Rasmussen-Torvik, Laura J.; Grarup, Niels; Ehm, Margaret G.; Li, Li; Baldridge, Abigail S.; Stančáková, Alena; Abrol, Ravinder; Besse, Céline; Boland, Anne; Bork-Jensen, Jette; Fornage, Myriam; Freitag, Daniel F.; Garcia, Melissa E.; Guo, Xiuqing; Hara, Kazuo; Isaacs, Aaron; Jakobsdottir, Johanna; Lange, Leslie A.; Layton, Jill C.; Li, Man; Hua Zhao, Jing; Meidtner, Karina; Morrison, Alanna C.; Nalls, Mike A.; Peters, Marjolein J.; Sabater-Lleal, Maria; Schurmann, Claudia; Silveira, Angela; Smith, Albert V.; Southam, Lorraine; Stoiber, Marcus H.; Strawbridge, Rona J.; Taylor, Kent D.; Varga, Tibor V.; Allin, Kristine H.; Amin, Najaf; Aponte, Jennifer L.; Aung, Tin; Barbieri, Caterina; Bihlmeyer, Nathan A.; Boehnke, Michael; Bombieri, Cristina; Bowden, Donald W.; Burns, Sean M.; Chen, Yuning; Chen, Yii-DerI; Cheng, Ching-Yu; Correa, Adolfo; Czajkowski, Jacek; Dehghan, Abbas; Ehret, Georg B.; Eiriksdottir, Gudny; Escher, Stefan A.; Farmaki, Aliki-Eleni; Frånberg, Mattias; Gambaro, Giovanni; Giulianini, Franco; Goddard, William A.; Goel, Anuj; Gottesman, Omri; Grove, Megan L.; Gustafsson, Stefan; Hai, Yang; Hallmans, Göran; Heo, Jiyoung; Hoffmann, Per; Ikram, Mohammad K.; Jensen, Richard A.; Jørgensen, Marit E.; Jørgensen, Torben; Karaleftheri, Maria; Khor, Chiea C.; Kirkpatrick, Andrea; Kraja, Aldi T.; Kuusisto, Johanna; Lange, Ethan M.; Lee, I.

Fairbanks School of Public HealthFasting glucose and insulin are intermediate traits for type 2 diabetes. Here we explore the role of coding variation on these traits by analysis of variants on the HumanExome BeadChip in 60,564 non-diabetic individuals and in 16,491 T2D cases and 81,877 controls. We identify a novel association of a low-frequency nonsynonymous SNV in GLP1R (A316T; rs10305492; MAF=1.4%) with lower FG (β=−0.09±0.01 mmol l−1, P=3.4 × 10−12), T2D risk (OR[95%CI]=0.86[0.76–0.96], P=0.010), early insulin secretion (β=−0.07±0.035 pmolinsulin mmolglucose−1, P=0.048), but higher 2-h glucose (β=0.16±0.05 mmol l−1, P=4.3 × 10−4). We identify a gene-based association with FG at G6PC2 (pSKAT=6.8 × 10−6) driven by four rare protein-coding SNVs (H177Y, Y207S, R283X and S324P). We identify rs651007 (MAF=20%) in the first intron of ABO at the putative promoter of an antisense lncRNA, associating with higher FG (β=0.02±0.004 mmol l−1, P=1.3 × 10−8). Our approach identifies novel coding variant associations and extends the allelic spectrum of variation underlying diabetes-related quantitative traits and T2D susceptibility.Item Rare variants in long non-coding RNAs are associated with blood lipid levels in the TOPMed Whole Genome Sequencing Study(medRxiv, 2023-06-29) Wang, Yuxuan; Selvaraj, Margaret Sunitha; Li, Xihao; Li, Zilin; Holdcraft, Jacob A.; Arnett, Donna K.; Bis, Joshua C.; Blangero, John; Boerwinkle, Eric; Bowden, Donald W.; Cade, Brian E.; Carlson, Jenna C.; Carson, April P.; Chen, Yii-Der Ida; Curran, Joanne E.; de Vries, Paul S.; Dutcher, Susan K.; Ellinor, Patrick T.; Floyd, James S.; Fornage, Myriam; Freedman, Barry I.; Gabriel, Stacey; Germer, Soren; Gibbs, Richard A.; Guo, Xiuqing; He, Jiang; Heard-Costa, Nancy; Hildalgo, Bertha; Hou, Lifang; Irvin, Marguerite R.; Joehanes, Roby; Kaplan, Robert C.; Kardia, Sharon Lr.; Kelly, Tanika N.; Kim, Ryan; Kooperberg, Charles; Kral, Brian G.; Levy, Daniel; Li, Changwei; Liu, Chunyu; Lloyd-Jone, Don; Loos, Ruth Jf.; Mahaney, Michael C.; Martin, Lisa W.; Mathias, Rasika A.; Minster, Ryan L.; Mitchell, Braxton D.; Montasser, May E.; Morrison, Alanna C.; Murabito, Joanne M.; Naseri, Take; O'Connell, Jeffrey R.; Palmer, Nicholette D.; Preuss, Michael H.; Psaty, Bruce M.; Raffield, Laura M.; Rao, Dabeeru C.; Redline, Susan; Reiner, Alexander P.; Rich, Stephen S.; Ruepena, Muagututi'a Sefuiva; Sheu, Wayne H-H; Smith, Jennifer A.; Smith, Albert; Tiwari, Hemant K.; Tsai, Michael Y.; Viaud-Martinez, Karine A.; Wang, Zhe; Yanek, Lisa R.; Zhao, Wei; NHLBI Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) Consortium; Rotter, Jerome I.; Lin, Xihong; Natarajan, Pradeep; Peloso, Gina M.; Biostatistics and Health Data Science, School of MedicineLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known to perform important regulatory functions. Large-scale whole genome sequencing (WGS) studies and new statistical methods for variant set tests now provide an opportunity to assess the associations between rare variants in lncRNA genes and complex traits across the genome. In this study, we used high-coverage WGS from 66,329 participants of diverse ancestries with blood lipid levels (LDL-C, HDL-C, TC, and TG) in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program to investigate the role of lncRNAs in lipid variability. We aggregated rare variants for 165,375 lncRNA genes based on their genomic locations and conducted rare variant aggregate association tests using the STAAR (variant-Set Test for Association using Annotation infoRmation) framework. We performed STAAR conditional analysis adjusting for common variants in known lipid GWAS loci and rare coding variants in nearby protein coding genes. Our analyses revealed 83 rare lncRNA variant sets significantly associated with blood lipid levels, all of which were located in known lipid GWAS loci (in a ±500 kb window of a Global Lipids Genetics Consortium index variant). Notably, 61 out of 83 signals (73%) were conditionally independent of common regulatory variations and rare protein coding variations at the same loci. We replicated 34 out of 61 (56%) conditionally independent associations using the independent UK Biobank WGS data. Our results expand the genetic architecture of blood lipids to rare variants in lncRNA, implicating new therapeutic opportunities.Item Whole Genome Sequence Association Analysis of Fasting Glucose and Fasting Insulin Levels in Diverse Cohorts from the NHLBI TOPMed Program(Springer Nature, 2022-07-28) DiCorpo, Daniel; Gaynor, Sheila M.; Russell, Emily M.; Westerman, Kenneth E.; Raffield, Laura M.; Majarian, Timothy D.; Wu, Peitao; Sarnowski, Chloé; Highland, Heather M.; Jackson, Anne; Hasbani, Natalie R.; de Vries, Paul S.; Brody, Jennifer A.; Hidalgo, Bertha; Guo, Xiuqing; Perry, James A.; O’Connell, Jeffrey R.; Lent, Samantha; Montasser, May E.; Cade, Brian E.; Jain, Deepti; Wang, Heming; D’Oliveira Albanus, Ricardo; Varshney, Arushi; Yanek, Lisa R.; Lange, Leslie; Palmer, Nicholette D.; Almeida, Marcio; Peralta, Juan M.; Aslibekyan, Stella; Baldridge, Abigail S.; Bertoni, Alain G.; Bielak, Lawrence F.; Chen, Chung-Shiuan; Chen, Yii-Der Ida; Choi, Won Jung; Goodarzi, Mark O.; Floyd, James S.; Irvin, Marguerite R.; Kalyani, Rita R.; Kelly, Tanika N.; Lee, Seonwook; Liu, Ching-Ti; Loesch, Douglas; Manson, JoAnn E.; Minster, Ryan L.; Naseri, Take; Pankow, James S.; Rasmussen-Torvik, Laura J.; Reiner, Alexander P.; Reupena, Muagututi’a Sefuiva; Selvin, Elizabeth; Smith, Jennifer A.; Weeks, Daniel E.; Xu, Huichun; Yao, Jie; Zhao, Wei; Parker, Stephen; Alonso, Alvaro; Arnett, Donna K.; Blangero, John; Boerwinkle, Eric; Correa, Adolfo; Cupples, L.

We extended this work with high-coverage whole genome sequencing analyses from fifteen cohorts in NHLBI's Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program. Over 23,000 non-diabetic individuals from five race-ethnicities/populations (African, Asian, European, Hispanic and Samoan) were included. Eight variants were significantly associated with FG or FI across previously identified regions MTNR1B, G6PC2, GCK, GCKR and FOXA2. We additionally characterize suggestive associations with FG or FI near previously identified SLC30A8, TCF7L2, and ADCY5 regions as well as APOB, PTPRT, and ROBO1. Functional annotation resources including the Diabetes Epigenome Atlas were compiled for each signal (chromatin states, annotation principal components, and others) to elucidate variant-to-function hypotheses. We provide a catalog of nucleotide-resolution genomic variation spanning intergenic and intronic regions creating a foundation for future sequencing-based investigations of glycemic traits.
