Item Fine mapping of bone structure and strength QTLs in heterogeneous stock rat(Elsevier, 2015-12) Alam, Imranul; Koller, Daniel L.; Cañete, Toni; Blázquez, Gloria; Mont-Cardona, Carme; López-Aumatell, Regina; Martínez-Membrives, Esther; Díaz-Morán, Sira; Tobeña, Adolf; Fernández-Teruel, Alberto; Stridh, Pernilla; Diez, Margarita; Olsson, Tomas; Johannesson, Martina; Baud, Amelie; Econs, Michael J.; Foroud, Tatiana; Department of Medicine, IU School of MedicineWe previously demonstrated that skeletal structure and strength phenotypes vary considerably in heterogeneous stock (HS) rats. These phenotypes were found to be strongly heritable, suggesting that the HS rat model represents a unique genetic resource for dissecting the complex genetic etiology underlying bone fragility. The purpose of this study was to identify and localize genes associated with bone structure and strength phenotypes using 1524 adult male and female HS rats between 17 to 20 weeks of age. Structure measures included femur length, neck width, head width; femur and lumbar spine (L3-5) areas obtained by DXA; and cross-sectional areas (CSA) at the midshaft, distal femur and femoral neck, and the 5th lumbar vertebra measured by CT. In addition, measures of strength of the whole femur and femoral neck were obtained. Approximately 70,000 polymorphic SNPs distributed throughout the rat genome were selected for genotyping, with a mean linkage disequilibrium coefficient between neighboring SNPs of 0.95. Haplotypes were estimated across the entire genome for each rat using a multipoint haplotype reconstruction method, which calculates the probability of descent at each locus from each of the 8 HS founder strains. The haplotypes were then tested for association with each structure and strength phenotype via a mixed model with covariate adjustment. We identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for structure phenotypes on chromosomes 3, 8, 10, 12, 17 and 20, and QTLs for strength phenotypes on chromosomes 5, 10 and 11 that met a conservative genome-wide empiric significance threshold (FDR=5%; P<3×10(-6)). Importantly, most QTLs were localized to very narrow genomic regions (as small as 0.3 Mb and up to 3 Mb), each harboring a small set of candidate genes, both novel and previously shown to have roles in skeletal development and homeostasis.Item Genome-wide association study of more than 40,000 bipolar disorder cases provides new insights into the underlying biology(Springer Nature, 2021-06) Mullins, Niamh; Forstner, Andreas J.; O'Connell, Kevin S.; Coombes, Brandon; Coleman, Jonathan R.I.; Qiao, Zhen; Als, Thomas D.; Bigdeli, Tim B.; Børte, Sigrid; Bryois, Julien; Charney, Alexander W.; Drange, Ole Kristian; Gandal, Michael J.; Hagenaars, Saskia P.; Ikeda, Masashi; Kamitaki, Nolan; Kim, Minsoo; Krebs, Kristi; Panagiotaropoulou, Georgia; Schilder, Brian M.; Sloofman, Laura G.; Steinberg, Stacy; Trubetskoy, Vassily; Winsvold, Bendik S.; Won, Hong-Hee; Abramova, Liliya; Adorjan, Kristina; Agerbo, Esben; Al Eissa, Mariam; Albani, Diego; Alliey-Rodriguez, Ney; Anjorin, Adebayo; Antilla, Verneri; Antoniou, Anastasia; Awasthi, Swapnil; Baek, Ji Hyun; Bækvad-Hansen, Marie; Bass, Nicholas; Bauer, Michael; Beins, Eva C.; Bergen, Sarah E.; Birner, Armin; Pedersen, Carsten Bøcker; Bøen, Erlend; Boks, Marco P.; Bosch, Rosa; Brum, Murielle; Brumpton, Ben M.; Brunkhorst-Kanaan, Nathalie; Budde, Monika; Bybjerg-Grauholm, Jonas; Byerley, William; Cairns, Murray; Casas, Miquel; Cervantes, Pablo; Clarke, Toni-Kim; Cruceanu, Cristiana; Cuellar-Barboza, Alfredo; Cunningham, Julie; Curtis, David; Czerski, Piotr M.; Dale, Anders M.; Dalkner, Nina; David, Friederike S.; Degenhardt, Franziska; Djurovic, Srdjan; Dobbyn, Amanda L.; Douzenis, Athanassios; Elvsåshagen, Torbjørn; Escott-Price, Valentina; Ferrier, I.

We performed a genome-wide association study of 41,917 bipolar disorder cases and 371,549 controls of European ancestry, which identified 64 associated genomic loci. Bipolar disorder risk alleles were enriched in genes in synaptic signaling pathways and brain-expressed genes, particularly those with high specificity of expression in neurons of the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Significant signal enrichment was found in genes encoding targets of antipsychotics, calcium channel blockers, antiepileptics and anesthetics. Integrating expression quantitative trait locus data implicated 15 genes robustly linked to bipolar disorder via gene expression, encoding druggable targets such as HTR6, MCHR1, DCLK3 and FURIN. Analyses of bipolar disorder subtypes indicated high but imperfect genetic correlation between bipolar disorder type I and II and identified additional associated loci. Together, these results advance our understanding of the biological etiology of bipolar disorder, identify novel therapeutic leads and prioritize genes for functional follow-up studies.Item High-resolution genome screen for bone mineral density in heterogeneous stock rat(Wiley, 2014-07) Alam, Imranul; Koller, Daniel L.; Cañete, Toni; Blázquez, Gloria; López-Aumatell, Regina; Martínez-Membrives, Esther; Díaz-Morán, Sira; Tobeña, Adolf; Fernández-Teruel, Alberto; Stridh, Pernilla; Dieze, Margarita; Olsson, Tomas; Johannesson, Martina; Baud, Amelie; Econs, Michael J.; Foroud, Tatiana; Department of Medicine, IU School of MedicineWe previously demonstrated that skeletal mass, structure, and biomechanical properties vary considerably in heterogeneous stock (HS) rat strains. In addition, we observed strong heritability for several of these skeletal phenotypes in the HS rat model, suggesting that it represents a unique genetic resource for dissecting the complex genetics underlying bone fragility. The purpose of this study was to identify and localize genes associated with bone mineral density in HS rats. We measured bone phenotypes from 1524 adult male and female HS rats between 17 and 20 weeks of age. Phenotypes included dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements for bone mineral content and areal bone mineral density (aBMD) for femur and lumbar spine (L3-L5), and volumetric BMD measurements by CT for the midshaft and distal femur, femur neck, and fifth lumbar vertebra (L5). A total of 70,000 polymorphic single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) distributed throughout the genome were selected from genotypes obtained from the Affymetrix rat custom SNPs array for the HS rat population. These SNPs spanned the HS rat genome with a mean linkage disequilibrium coefficient between neighboring SNPs of 0.95. Haplotypes were estimated across the entire genome for each rat using a multipoint haplotype reconstruction method, which calculates the probability of descent for each genotyped locus from each of the eight founder HS strains. The haplotypes were tested for association with each bone density phenotype via a mixed model with covariate adjustment. We identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for BMD phenotypes on chromosomes 2, 9, 10, and 13 meeting a conservative genomewide empiric significance threshold (false discovery rate [FDR] = 5%; p < 3 × 10(-6)). Importantly, most QTLs were localized to very small genomic regions (1-3 megabases [Mb]), allowing us to identify a narrow set of potential candidate genes including both novel genes and genes previously shown to have roles in skeletal development and homeostasis.
