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 C9orf72 Intermediate Repeats are Associated with Corticobasal Degeneration, Increased C9orf72 Expression and Disruption of Autophagy(Springer, 2019-11) Cali, Christopher P.; Patino, Maribel; Tai, Yee Kit; Ho, Wan Yun; McLean, Catriona A.; Morris, Christopher M.; Seeley, William W.; Miller, Bruce L.; Gaig, Carles; Vonsattel, Jean Paul G.; White, Charles L.; Roeber, Sigrun; Kretzschmar, Hans; Troncoso, Juan C.; Troakes, Claire; Gearing, Marla; Ghetti, Bernardino; Van Deerlin, Vivianna M.; Lee, Virginia M.-Y.; Trojanowski, John Q.; Mok, Kin Y.; Ling, Helen; Dickson, Dennis W.; Schellenberg, Gerard D.; Ling, Shuo-Chien; Lee, Edward B.; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of MedicineMicrosatellite repeat expansion disease loci can exhibit pleiotropic clinical and biological effects depending on repeat length. Large expansions in C9orf72 (100s-1000s of units) are the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). However, whether intermediate expansions also contribute to neurodegenerative disease is not well understood. Several studies have identified intermediate repeats in Parkinson’s disease patients, but the association was not found in autopsy confirmed cases. We hypothesized that intermediate C9orf72 repeats are a genetic risk factor for corticobasal degeneration (CBD), a neurodegenerative disease that can be clinically similar to Parkinson’s but has distinct tau protein pathology. Indeed, intermediate C9orf72 repeats were significantly enriched in autopsy-proven CBD (n=354 cases, odds ratio=3.59, p-value=0.00024). While large C9orf72 repeat expansions are known to decrease C9orf72 expression, intermediate C9orf72 repeats result in increased C9orf72 expression in human brain tissue and CRISPR/cas9 knockin iPSC derived neural progenitor cells. In contrast to cases of FTD/ALS with large C9orf72 expansions, CBD with intermediate C9orf72 repeats was not associated with pathologic RNA foci or dipeptide repeat protein aggregates. Knock-in cells with intermediate repeats exhibit numerous changes in gene expression pathways relating to vesicle trafficking and autophagy. Additionally, overexpression of C9orf72 without the repeat expansion leads to defects in autophagy under nutrient starvation conditions. These results raise the possibility that therapeutic strategies to reduce C9orf72 expression may be beneficial for the treatment of CBD.Item Creating the Pick's disease International Consortium: Association study of MAPT H2 haplotype with risk of Pick's disease(medRxiv, 2023-04-24) Valentino, Rebecca R.; Scotton, William J.; Roemer, Shanu F.; Lashley, Tammaryn; Heckman, Michael G.; Shoai, Maryam; Martinez-Carrasco, Alejandro; Tamvaka, Nicole; Walton, Ronald L.; Baker, Matthew C.; Macpherson, Hannah L.; Real, Raquel; Soto-Beasley, Alexandra I.; Mok, Kin; Revesz, Tamas; Warner, Thomas T.; Jaunmuktane, Zane; Boeve, Bradley F.; Christopher, Elizabeth A.; DeTure, Michael; Duara, Ranjan; Graff-Radford, Neill R.; Josephs, Keith A.; Knopman, David S.; Koga, Shunsuke; Murray, Melissa E.; Lyons, Kelly E.; Pahwa, Rajesh; Parisi, Joseph E.; Petersen, Ronald C.; Whitwell, Jennifer; Grinberg, Lea T.; Miller, Bruce; Schlereth, Athena; Seeley, William W.; Spina, Salvatore; Grossman, Murray; Irwin, David J.; Lee, Edward B.; Suh, EunRan; Trojanowski, John Q.; Van Deerlin, Vivianna M.; Wolk, David A.; Connors, Theresa R.; Dooley, Patrick M.; Frosch, Matthew P.; Oakley, Derek H.; Aldecoa, Iban; Balasa, Mircea; Gelpi, Ellen; Borrego-Écija, Sergi; de Eugenio Huélamo, Rosa Maria; Gascon-Bayarri, Jordi; Sánchez-Valle, Raquel; Sanz-Cartagena, Pilar; Piñol-Ripoll, Gerard; Molina-Porcel, Laura; Bigio, Eileen H.; Flanagan, Margaret E.; Gefen, Tamar; Rogalski, Emily J.; Weintraub, Sandra; Redding-Ochoa, Javier; Chang, Koping; Troncoso, Juan C.; Prokop, Stefan; Newell, Kathy L.; Ghetti, Bernardino; Jones, Matthew; Richardson, Anna; Robinson, Andrew C.; Roncaroli, Federico; Snowden, Julie; Allinson, Kieren; Green, Oliver; Rowe, James B.; Singh, Poonam; Beach, Thomas G.; Serrano, Geidy E.; Flowers, Xena E.; Goldman, James E.; Heaps, Allison C.; Leskinen, Sandra P.; Teich, Andrew F.; Black, Sandra E.; Keith, Julia L.; Masellis, Mario; Bodi, Istvan; King, Andrew; Sarraj, Safa-Al; Troakes, Claire; Halliday, Glenda M.; Hodges, John R.; Kril, Jillian J.; Kwok, John B.; Piguet, Olivier; Gearing, Marla; Arzberger, Thomas; Roeber, Sigrun; Attems, Johannes; Morris, Christopher M.; Thomas, Alan J.; Evers, Bret M.; White, Charles L.; Mechawar, Naguib; Sieben, Anne A.; Cras, Patrick P.; De Vil, Bart B.; De Deyn, Peter Paul P.

PiD is pathologically defined by argyrophilic inclusion Pick bodies and ballooned neurons in the frontal and temporal brain lobes. PiD is characterised by the presence of Pick bodies which are formed from aggregated, hyperphosphorylated, 3-repeat tau proteins, encoded by the MAPT gene. The MAPT H2 haplotype has consistently been associated with a decreased disease risk of the 4-repeat tauopathies of progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration, however its role in susceptibility to PiD is unclear. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the association between MAPT H2 and risk of PiD. Methods: We established the Pick's disease International Consortium (PIC) and collected 338 (60.7% male) pathologically confirmed PiD brains from 39 sites worldwide. 1,312 neurologically healthy clinical controls were recruited from Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, FL (N=881) or Rochester, MN (N=431). For the primary analysis, subjects were directly genotyped for MAPT H1-H2 haplotype-defining variant rs8070723. In secondary analysis, we genotyped and constructed the six-variant MAPT H1 subhaplotypes (rs1467967, rs242557, rs3785883, rs2471738, rs8070723, and rs7521). Findings: Our primary analysis found that the MAPT H2 haplotype was associated with increased risk of PiD (OR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.12-1.64 P=0.002). In secondary analysis involving H1 subhaplotypes, a protective association with PiD was observed for the H1f haplotype (0.0% vs. 1.2%, P=0.049), with a similar trend noted for H1b (OR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.58-1.00, P=0.051). The 4-repeat tauopathy risk haplotype MAPT H1c was not associated with PiD susceptibility (OR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.70-1.25, P=0.65). Interpretation: The PIC represents the first opportunity to perform relatively large-scale studies to enhance our understanding of the pathobiology of PiD. This study demonstrates that in contrast to its protective role in 4R tauopathies, the MAPT H2 haplotype is associated with an increased risk of PiD. This finding is critical in directing isoform-related therapeutics for tauopathies.Item Differences in the Presentation and Progression of Parkinson's Disease by Sex(Wiley, 2021) Iwaki, Hirotaka; Blauwendraat, Cornelis; Leonard, Hampton L.; Makarious, Mary B.; Kim, Jonggeol J.; Liu, Ganqiang; Maple-Grødem, Jodie; Corvol, Jean-Christophe; Pihlstrøm, Lasse; van Nimwegen, Marlies; Smolensky, Luba; Amondikar, Ninad; Hutten, Samantha J.; Frasier, Mark; Nguyen, Khanh-Dung H.; Rick, Jacqueline; Eberly, Shirley; Faghri, Faraz; Auinger, Peggy; Scott, Kirsten M.; Wijeyekoon, Ruwani; Van Deerlin, Vivianna M.; Hernandez, Dena G.; Gibbs, Raphael J.; Day-Williams, Aaron G.; Brice, Alexis; Alves, Guido; Noyce, Alastair J.; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Evans, Jonathan R.; Breen, David P.; Estrada, Karol; Wegel, Claire E.; Danjou, Fabrice; Simon, David K.; Andreassen, Ole A.; Ravina, Bernard; Toft, Mathias; Heutink, Peter; Bloem, Bastiaan R.; Weintraub, Daniel; Barker, Roger A.; Williams-Gray, Caroline H.; van de Warrenburg, Bart P.; Van Hilten, Jacobus J.; Scherzer, Clemens R.; Singleton, Andrew B.; Nalls, Mike A.; Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of MedicineBackground: Previous studies reported various symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) associated with sex. Some were conflicting or confirmed in only one study. Objectives: We examined sex associations to PD phenotypes cross-sectionally and longitudinally in large-scale data. Methods: We tested 40 clinical phenotypes, using longitudinal, clinic-based patient cohorts, consisting of 5946 patients, with a median follow-up of 3.1 years. For continuous outcomes, we used linear regressions at baseline to test sex-associated differences in presentation, and linear mixed-effects models to test sex-associated differences in progression. For binomial outcomes, we used logistic regression models at baseline and Cox regression models for survival analyses. We adjusted for age, disease duration, and medication use. In the secondary analyses, data from 17 719 PD patients and 7588 non-PD participants from an online-only, self-assessment PD cohort were cross-sectionally evaluated to determine whether the sex-associated differences identified in the primary analyses were consistent and unique to PD. Results: Female PD patients had a higher risk of developing dyskinesia early during the follow-up period, with a slower progression in activities of daily living difficulties, and a lower risk of developing cognitive impairments compared with male patients. The findings in the longitudinal, clinic-based cohorts were mostly consistent with the results of the online-only cohort. Conclusions: We observed sex-associated contributions to PD heterogeneity. These results highlight the necessity of future research to determine the underlying mechanisms and importance of personalized clinical management.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 Genome sequencing analysis identifies new loci associated with Lewy body dementia and provides insights into its genetic architecture(Springer Nature, 2021-03) Chia, Ruth; Sabir, Marya S.; Bandres-Ciga, Sara; Saez-Atienzar, Sara; Reynolds, Regina H.; Gustavsson, Emil; Walton, Ronald L.; Ahmed, Sarah; Viollet, Coralie; Ding, Jinhui; Makarious, Mary B.; Diez-Fairen, Monica; Portley, Makayla K.; Shah, Zalak; Abramzon, Yevgeniya; Hernandez, Dena G.; Blauwendraat, Cornelis; Stone, David J.; Eicher, John; Parkkinen, Laura; Ansorge, Olaf; Clark, Lorraine; Honig, Lawrence S.; Marder, Karen; Lemstra, Afina; St. George-Hyslop, Peter; Londos, Elisabet; Morgan, Kevin; Lashley, Tammaryn; Warner, Thomas T.; Jaunmuktane, Zane; Galasko, Douglas; Santana, Isabel; Tienari, Pentti J.; Myllykangas, Liisa; Oinas, Minna; Cairns, Nigel J.; Morris, John C.; Halliday, Glenda M.; Van Deerlin, Vivianna M.; Trojanowski, John Q.; Grassano, Maurizio; Calvo, Andrea; Mora, Gabriele; Canosa, Antonio; Floris, Gianluca; Bohannan, Ryan C.; Brett, Francesca; Gan-Or, Ziv; Geiger, Joshua T.; Moore, Anni; May, Patrick; Krüger, Rejko; Goldstein, David S.; Lopez, Grisel; Tayebi, Nahid; Sidransky, Ellen; Norcliffe-Kaufmann, Lucy; Palma, Jose-Alberto; Kaufmann, Horacio; Shakkottai, Vikram G.; Perkins, Matthew; Newell, Kathy L.; Gasser, Thomas; Schulte, Claudia; Landi, Francesco; Salvi, Erika; Cusi, Daniele; Masliah, Eliezer; Kim, Ronald C.; Caraway, Chad A.; Monuki, Edwin S.; Brunetti, Maura; Dawson, Ted M.; Rosenthal, Liana S.; Albert, Marilyn S.; Pletnikova, Olga; Troncoso, Juan C.; Flanagan, Margaret E.; Mao, Qinwen; Bigio, Eileen H.; Rodríguez-Rodríguez, Eloy; Infante, Jon; Lage, Carmen; González-Aramburu, Isabel; Sanchez-Juan, Pascual; Ghetti, Bernardino; Keith, Julia; Black, Sandra E.; Masellis, Mario; Rogaeva, Ekaterina; Duyckaerts, Charles; Brice, Alexis; Lesage, Suzanne; Xiromerisiou, Georgia; Barrett, Matthew J.; Tilley, Bension S.; Gentleman, Steve; Logroscino, Giancarlo; Serrano, Geidy E.; Beach, Thomas G.; McKeith, Ian G.; Thomas, Alan J.; Attems, Johannes; Morris, Christopher M.; Palmer, Laura; Love, Seth; Troakes, Claire; Al-Sarraj, Safa; Hodges, Angela K.; Aarsland, Dag; Klein, Gregory; Kaiser, Scott M.; Woltjer, Randy; Pastor, Pau; Bekris, Lynn M.; Leverenz, James B.; Besser, Lilah M.; Kuzma, Amanda; Renton, Alan E.; Goate, Alison; Bennett, David A.; Scherzer, Clemens R.; Morris, Huw R.; Ferrari, Raffaele; Albani, Diego; Pickering-Brown, Stuart; Faber, Kelley; Kukull, Walter A.; Morenas-Rodriguez, Estrella; Lleó, Alberto; Fortea, Juan; Alcolea, Daniel; Clarimon, Jordi; Nalls, Mike A.; Ferrucci, Luigi; Resnick, Susan M.; Tanaka, Toshiko; Foroud, Tatiana M.; Graff-Radford, Neill R.; Wszolek, Zbigniew K.; Ferman, Tanis; Boeve, Bradley F.; Hardy, John A.; Topol, Eric J.; Torkamani, Ali; Singleton, Andrew B.; Ryten, Mina; Dickson, Dennis W.; Chiò, Adriano; Ross, Owen A.; Gibbs, J. Raphael; Dalgard, Clifton L.; Traynor, Bryan J.; Scholz, Sonja W.; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of MedicineThe genetic basis of Lewy body dementia (LBD) is not well understood. Here, we performed whole-genome sequencing in large cohorts of LBD cases and neurologically healthy controls to study the genetic architecture of this understudied form of dementia, and to generate a resource for the scientific community. Genome-wide association analysis identified five independent risk loci, whereas genome-wide gene-aggregation tests implicated mutations in the gene GBA. Genetic risk scores demonstrate that LBD shares risk profiles and pathways with Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, providing a deeper molecular understanding of the complex genetic architecture of this age-related neurodegenerative condition.Item Genome-wide association study identifies four novel loci associated with Alzheimer's endophenotypes and disease modifiers(Springer Verlag, 2017-05) Deming, Yuetiva; Li, Zeran; Kapoor, Manav; Harari, Oscar; Del-Aguila, Jorge L.; Black, Kathleen; Carrell, David; Cai, Yefei; Fernandez, Maria Victoria; Budde, John; Ma, Shengmei; Saef, Benjamin; Howells, Bill; Huang, Kuanlin; Bertelsen, Sarah; Fagan, Anne M.; Holtzman, David M.; Morris, John C.; Kim, Sungeun; Saykin, Andrew J.; De Jager, Philip L.; Albert, Marilyn; Moghekar, Abhay; O’Brien, Richard; Riemenschneider, Matthias; Petersen, Ronald C.; Blennow, Kaj; Zetterberg, Henrik; Minthon, Lennart; Van Deerlin, Vivianna M.; Lee, Virginia Man-Yee; Shaw, Leslie M.; Trojanowski, John Q.; Schellenberg, Gerard; Haines, Jonathan L.; Mayeux, Richard; Pericak-Vance, Margaret A.; Farrer, Lindsay A.; Peskind, Elaine R.; Li, Ge; Di Narzo, Antonio F.; Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADGC). The Alzheimer Disease Genetic Consortium (ADGC); Kauwe, John S. K.; Goate, Alison M.; Cruchaga, Carlos; Medicine, School of MedicineMore than 20 genetic loci have been associated with risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but reported genome-wide significant loci do not account for all the estimated heritability and provide little information about underlying biological mechanisms. Genetic studies using intermediate quantitative traits such as biomarkers, or endophenotypes, benefit from increased statistical power to identify variants that may not pass the stringent multiple test correction in case-control studies. Endophenotypes also contain additional information helpful for identifying variants and genes associated with other aspects of disease, such as rate of progression or onset, and provide context to interpret the results from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). We conducted GWAS of amyloid beta (Aβ42), tau, and phosphorylated tau (ptau181) levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 3146 participants across nine studies to identify novel variants associated with AD. Five genome-wide significant loci (two novel) were associated with ptau181, including loci that have also been associated with AD risk or brain-related phenotypes. Two novel loci associated with Aβ42 near GLIS1 on 1p32.3 (β = -0.059, P = 2.08 × 10-8) and within SERPINB1 on 6p25 (β = -0.025, P = 1.72 × 10-8) were also associated with AD risk (GLIS1: OR = 1.105, P = 3.43 × 10-2), disease progression (GLIS1: β = 0.277, P = 1.92 × 10-2), and age at onset (SERPINB1: β = 0.043, P = 4.62 × 10-3). Bioinformatics indicate that the intronic SERPINB1 variant (rs316341) affects expression of SERPINB1 in various tissues, including the hippocampus, suggesting that SERPINB1 influences AD through an Aβ-associated mechanism. Analyses of known AD risk loci suggest CLU and FERMT2 may influence CSF Aβ42 (P = 0.001 and P = 0.009, respectively) and the INPP5D locus may affect ptau181 levels (P = 0.009); larger studies are necessary to verify these results. Together the findings from this study can be used to inform future AD studies.Item Genome-wide association study of corticobasal degeneration identifies risk variants shared with progressive supranuclear palsy(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-06-16) Kouri, Naomi; Ross, Owen A.; Dombroski, Beth; Younkin, Curtis S.; Serie, Daniel J.; Soto-Ortolaza, Alexandra; Baker, Matthew; Finch, Ni Cole A.; Yoon, Hyejin; Kim, Jungsu; Fujioka, Shinsuke; McLean, Catriona A.; Ghetti, Bernardino; Spina, Salvatore; Cantwell, Laura B.; Farlow, Martin R.; Grafman, Jordan; Huey, Edward D.; Ryung Han, Mi; Beecher, Sherry; Geller, Evan T.; Kretzschmar, Hans A.; Roeber, Sigrun; Gearing, Marla; Juncos, Jorge L.; Vonsattel, Jean Paul G.; Van Deerlin, Vivianna M.; Grossman, Murray; Hurtig, Howard I.; Gross, Rachel G.; Arnold, Steven E.; Trojanowski, John Q.; Lee, Virginia M.; Wenning, Gregor K.; White, Charles L.; Höglinger, Günter U.; Müller, Ulrich; Devlin, Bernie; Golbe, Lawrence I.; Crook, Julia; Parisi, Joseph E.; Boeve, Bradley F.; Josephs, Keith A.; Wszolek, Zbigniew K.; Uitti, Ryan J.; Graff-Radford, Neill R.; Litvan, Irene; Younkin, Steven G.; Wang, Li-San; Ertekin-Taner, Nilüfer; Rademakers, Rosa; Hakonarsen, Hakon; Schellenberg, Gerard D.; Dickson, Dennis W.; Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, IU School of MedicineCorticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting movement and cognition, definitively diagnosed only at autopsy. Here, we conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in CBD cases (n=152) and 3,311 controls, and 67 CBD cases and 439 controls in a replication stage. Associations with meta-analysis were 17q21 at MAPT (P=1.42 × 10−12), 8p12 at lnc-KIF13B-1, a long non-coding RNA (rs643472; P=3.41 × 10−8), and 2p22 at SOS1 (rs963731; P=1.76 × 10−7). Testing for association of CBD with top progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) GWAS single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified associations at MOBP (3p22; rs1768208; P=2.07 × 10−7) and MAPT H1c (17q21; rs242557; P=7.91 × 10−6). We previously reported SNP/transcript level associations with rs8070723/MAPT, rs242557/MAPT, and rs1768208/MOBP and herein identified association with rs963731/SOS1. We identify new CBD susceptibility loci and show that CBD and PSP share a genetic risk factor other than MAPT at 3p22 MOBP (myelin-associated oligodendrocyte basic protein).Item Potential genetic modifiers of disease risk and age at onset in patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration and GRN mutations: a genome-wide association study(Elsevier, 2018-06) Pottier, Cyril; Zhou, Xiaolai; Perkerson, Ralph B.; Baker, Matt; Jenkins, Gregory D.; Serie, Daniel J.; Ghidoni, Roberta; Benussi, Luisa; Binetti, Giuliano; de Munain, Adolfo López; Zulaica, Miren; Moreno, Fermin; Le Ber, Isabelle; Pasquier, Florence; Hannequin, Didier; Sánchez-Valle, Raquel; Antonell, Anna; Lladó, Albert; Parsons, Tammee M.; Finch, NiCole A.; Finger, Elizabeth C.; Lippa, Carol F.; Huey, Edward D.; Neumann, Manuela; Heutink, Peter; Synofzik, Matthis; Wilke, Carlo; Rissman, Robert A.; Slawek, Jaroslaw; Sitek, Emilia; Johannsen, Peter; Nielsen, Jørgen E.; Ren, Yingxue; van Blitterswijk, Marka; DeJesus-Hernandez, Mariely; Christopher, Elizabeth; Murray, Melissa E.; Bieniek, Kevin F.; Evers, Bret M.; Ferrari, Camilla; Rollinson, Sara; Richardson, Anna; Scarpini, Elio; Fumagalli, Giorgio G.; Padovani, Alessandro; Hardy, John; Momeni, Parastoo; Ferrari, Raffaele; Frangipane, Francesca; Maletta, Raffaele; Anfossi, Maria; Gallo, Maura; Petrucelli, Leonard; Suh, EunRan; Lopez, Oscar L.; Wong, Tsz H.; van Rooij, Jeroen G.

Patients with GRN mutations present with a uniform subtype of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology at autopsy (FTLD-TDP type A); however, age at onset and clinical presentation are variable, even within families. We aimed to identify potential genetic modifiers of disease onset and disease risk in GRN mutation carriers. METHODS: The study was done in three stages: a discovery stage, a replication stage, and a meta-analysis of the discovery and replication data. In the discovery stage, genome-wide logistic and linear regression analyses were done to test the association of genetic variants with disease risk (case or control status) and age at onset in patients with a GRN mutation and controls free of neurodegenerative disorders. Suggestive loci (p<1 × 10-5) were genotyped in a replication cohort of patients and controls, followed by a meta-analysis. The effect of genome-wide significant variants at the GFRA2 locus on expression of GFRA2 was assessed using mRNA expression studies in cerebellar tissue samples from the Mayo Clinic brain bank. The effect of the GFRA2 locus on progranulin concentrations was studied using previously generated ELISA-based expression data. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments in HEK293T cells were done to test for a direct interaction between GFRA2 and progranulin. FINDINGS: Individuals were enrolled in the current study between Sept 16, 2014, and Oct 5, 2017. After quality control measures, statistical analyses in the discovery stage included 382 unrelated symptomatic GRN mutation carriers and 1146 controls free of neurodegenerative disorders collected from 34 research centres located in the USA, Canada, Australia, and Europe. In the replication stage, 210 patients (67 symptomatic GRN mutation carriers and 143 patients with FTLD without GRN mutations pathologically confirmed as FTLD-TDP type A) and 1798 controls free of neurodegenerative diseases were recruited from 26 sites, 20 of which overlapped with the discovery stage. No genome-wide significant association with age at onset was identified in the discovery or replication stages, or in the meta-analysis. However, in the case-control analysis, we replicated the previously reported TMEM106B association (rs1990622 meta-analysis odds ratio [OR] 0·54, 95% CI 0·46-0·63; p=3·54 × 10-16), and identified a novel genome-wide significant locus at GFRA2 on chromosome 8p21.3 associated with disease risk (rs36196656 meta-analysis OR 1·49, 95% CI 1·30-1·71; p=1·58 × 10-8). Expression analyses showed that the risk-associated allele at rs36196656 decreased GFRA2 mRNA concentrations in cerebellar tissue (p=0·04). No effect of rs36196656 on plasma and CSF progranulin concentrations was detected by ELISA; however, co-immunoprecipitation experiments in HEK293T cells did suggest a direct binding of progranulin and GFRA2. INTERPRETATION: TMEM106B-related and GFRA2-related pathways might be future targets for treatments for FTLD, but the biological interaction between progranulin and these potential disease modifiers requires further study. TMEM106B and GFRA2 might also provide opportunities to select and stratify patients for future clinical trials and, when more is known about their potential effects, to inform genetic counselling, especially for asymptomatic individuals.
