Abstract

Common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are predicted to collectively explain 40-50% of phenotypic variation in human height, but identifying the specific variants and associated regions requires huge sample sizes1. Here, using data from a genome-wide association study of 5.4 million individuals of diverse ancestries, we show that 12,111 independent SNPs that are significantly associated with height account for nearly all of the common SNP-based heritability. These SNPs are clustered within 7,209 non-overlapping genomic segments with a mean size of around 90 kb, covering about 21% of the genome. The density of independent associations varies across the genome and the regions of increased density are enriched for biologically relevant genes. In out-of-sample estimation and prediction, the 12,111 SNPs (or all SNPs in the HapMap 3 panel2) account for 40% (45%) of phenotypic variance in populations of European ancestry but only around 10-20% (14-24%) in populations of other ancestries. Effect sizes, associated regions and gene prioritization are similar across ancestries, indicating that reduced prediction accuracy is likely to be explained by linkage disequilibrium and differences in allele frequency within associated regions. Finally, we show that the relevant biological pathways are detectable with smaller sample sizes than are needed to implicate causal genes and variants. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive map of specific genomic regions that contain the vast majority of common height-associated variants. Although this map is saturated for populations of European ancestry, further research is needed to achieve equivalent saturation in other ancestries.

Abstract

Reproductive longevity is essential for fertility and influences healthy ageing in women1,2, but insights into its underlying biological mechanisms and treatments to preserve it are limited. Here we identify 290 genetic determinants of ovarian ageing, assessed using normal variation in age at natural menopause (ANM) in about 200,000 women of European ancestry. These common alleles were associated with clinical extremes of ANM; women in the top 1% of genetic susceptibility have an equivalent risk of premature ovarian insufficiency to those carrying monogenic FMR1 premutations3. The identified loci implicate a broad range of DNA damage response (DDR) processes and include loss-of-function variants in key DDR-associated genes. Integration with experimental models demonstrates that these DDR processes act across the life-course to shape the ovarian reserve and its rate of depletion. Furthermore, we demonstrate that experimental manipulation of DDR pathways highlighted by human genetics increases fertility and extends reproductive life in mice. Causal inference analyses using the identified genetic variants indicate that extending reproductive life in women improves bone health and reduces risk of type 2 diabetes, but increases the risk of hormone-sensitive cancers. These findings provide insight into the mechanisms that govern ovarian ageing, when they act, and how they might be targeted by therapeutic approaches to extend fertility and prevent disease.

Abstract

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >250 loci for body mass index (BMI), implicating pathways related to neuronal biology. Most GWAS loci represent clusters of common, noncoding variants from which pinpointing causal genes remains challenging. Here we combined data from 718,734 individuals to discover rare and low-frequency (minor allele frequency (MAF) < 5%) coding variants associated with BMI. We identified 14 coding variants in 13 genes, of which 8 variants were in genes (ZBTB7B, ACHE, RAPGEF3, RAB21, ZFHX3, ENTPD6, ZFR2 and ZNF169) newly implicated in human obesity, 2 variants were in genes (MC4R and KSR2) previously observed to be mutated in extreme obesity and 2 variants were in GIPR. The effect sizes of rare variants are ~10 times larger than those of common variants, with the largest effect observed in carriers of an MC4R mutation introducing a stop codon (p.Tyr35Ter, MAF = 0.01%), who weighed ~7 kg more than non-carriers. Pathway analyses based on the variants associated with BMI confirm enrichment of neuronal genes and provide new evidence for adipocyte and energy expenditure biology, widening the potential of genetically supported therapeutic targets in obesity.

Abstract

The timing of puberty is a highly polygenic childhood trait that is epidemiologically associated with various adult diseases. Using 1000 Genomes Project-imputed genotype data in up to ∼370,000 women, we identify 389 independent signals (P < 5 × 10-8) for age at menarche, a milestone in female pubertal development. In Icelandic data, these signals explain ∼7.4% of the population variance in age at menarche, corresponding to ∼25% of the estimated heritability. We implicate ∼250 genes via coding variation or associated expression, demonstrating significant enrichment in neural tissues. Rare variants near the imprinted genes MKRN3 and DLK1 were identified, exhibiting large effects when paternally inherited. Mendelian randomization analyses suggest causal inverse associations, independent of body mass index (BMI), between puberty timing and risks for breast and endometrial cancers in women and prostate cancer in men. In aggregate, our findings highlight the complexity of the genetic regulation of puberty timing and support causal links with cancer susceptibility.

Abstract

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease with an significant genetic component, played mainly by the HLA class II genes. Although evidence on the role of HLA class I genes in developing type 1 diabetes and its onset have emerged, current HLA screening is limited to determining DR3 and DR4 haplotypes. This study aimed to investigate the role of HLA genes on type 1 diabetes risk and age of onset by extensive typing. Methods: This study included 115 children and young adults with type 1 diabetes for whom typing of HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DRB3/4/5, -DQA1, -DQB1, -DPA1 and -DPB1 genes was conducted using Next Generation Sequencing. Results: We observed that 13% of type 1 diabetes subjects had non-classical HLA haplotypes that predispose to diabetes. We also found that compared to type 1 diabetes subjects with classical HLA haplotypes, non-classical HLA subjects had a significantly higher frequency of HLA-B*39:06:02 (p-value=0.01) and HLAC* 07:02:01 (p-value=0.03) alleles, known to be involved in activating the immune response. Non-classical HLA subjects also presented peculiar clinical features compared to classical HLA subjects, such as multiple diabetic antibodies and the absence of other autoimmune diseases (i.e., coeliac disease and thyroiditis). We also observed that subjects with early onset had a higher frequency of DQ2/DQ8 genotype than late-onset individuals. Moreover, subjects with late-onset had a higher frequency of alleles HLA-B*27 (p-value=0.003), HLAC* 01:02:01 (p-value=0.027) and C*02:02:02 (p-value=0.01), known to be associated with increased protection against viral infections. Discussion: This study reveals a broader involvement of the HLA locus in the development and onset of type 1 diabetes, providing insights into new possible disease prevention and management strategies.

Abstract

The HNF1A transcription factor, implicated in the regulation of pancreatic beta cells, as well as in glucose and lipid metabolism, is responsible for type 3 maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY3). HNF1A is also involved in increased susceptibility to polygenic forms of diabetes, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and gestational diabetes (GD), while its possible role in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is not known. In this study, 277 children and adolescents with T1D and 140 healthy controls were recruited. The following SNPs in HNF1A gene were selected: rs1169286, rs1169288, rs7979478, and rs2259816. Through linear or logistic regression analysis, we analyzed their association with T1D susceptibility and related clinical traits, such as insulin dose-adjusted glycated hemoglobin A1c (IDAA1c) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). We found that rs1169286 was associated with IDAA1c and HbA1c values (p-value = 0.0027 and p-value = 0.0075, respectively), while rs1169288 was associated with IDAA1c (p-value = 0.0081). No association between HNF1A SNPs and T1D development emerged. In conclusion, our findings suggest for the first time that HNF1A variants may be a risk factor for beta cell function and glycaemic control in T1D individuals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate lipid profile and kidney function in children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes. Methods: This was a retrospective study including 324 children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes (48% females, mean age 13.1 ± 3.2 years). For all participants, demographic and clinical information were collected. The prevalence of dyslipidemia and kidney function markers were analyzed according to age. Multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to test the association of lipids or markers of renal function with demographic and clinical information (sex, age, disease duration, BMI SDS, HbA1c). Results: In our study the rate of dyslipidemia reached 32% in children <11 years and 18.5% in those ≥11 years. Children <11 years presented significantly higher triglyceride values. While the albumin-to-creatinine ratio was normal in all individuals, 17% had mildly reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate. Median of HbA1c was the most important determinant of lipids and kidney function, being associated with Total Cholesterol (p-value<0.001); LDL Cholesterol (pvalue= 0.009), HDL Cholesterol (p-value=0.045) and eGFR (p-value=0.001). Conclusion: Dyslipidemia could be present both in children and adolescents, suggesting that screening for markers of diabetic complications should be performed regardless of age, pubertal stage, or disease duration, to optimize glycemia and medical nutrition therapy and/or to start a specific medical treatment.

Abstract

Objective In this study, we evaluated the influence of taste phenotypes and genotypes on the hedonics of sweetened and unsweetened coffee. Methods Liking of espresso coffee from food questionnaire and of a ready-to-drink unsweetened coffee beverage was measured using a 9-point hedonic scale in 1551 Italian individuals. Perception and liking for different bitter and sweet compounds were also collected. Genotyping of selected Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in five taste genes (TAS1R3, GNAT3, TAS2R14, TAS2R19, TAS2R38) was performed. Linear and logistic regression models, including sex and gender as covariates, were used to test the relationship of taste phenotypes and selected SNPs with coffee liking. Results We found that increased caffeine bitterness perception was associated with an increasing liking for sweetened coffee (p-value = 0.018) and decreased liking of unsweetened coffee (p-value = 0.034). The liking of unsweetened coffee beverage was also negatively associated with sweet intensity perception (p-value = 0.03). Analysis of SNPs in taste-related genes showed that rs6467192 G allele (intron 4 variant) in GNAT3 sweet taste gene was associated with higher liking of sweetened coffee (p-value = 0.002) and lower liking of unsweetened coffee (p-value = 0.01). An association also emerged between unsweetened coffee and SNPs in bitter receptor genes, with rs2597979 in TAS2R14 gene associated with liking of unsweetened coffee (p-value = 0.004) and rs10772420 in TAS2R19 gene associated with liking of both unsweetened espresso coffee and coffee beverage (p-value = 0.04 and p-value = 0.03, respectively). Conclusion These findings suggested that individual preference for sweetened and unsweetened coffee may be influenced by both phenotypic and nucleotide variations in bitter and sweet taste sensitivity.

Abstract

The QT interval is an electrocardiographic measure representing the sum of ventricular depolarization (QRS duration) and repolarization (JT interval). Abnormalities of the QT interval are associated with potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmia. We conducted genome-wide multi-ancestry analyses in >250,000 individuals and identified 177, 156 and 121 independent loci for QT, JT and QRS, respectively, including a male-specific X-chromosome locus. Using gene-based rare-variant methods, we identified associations with Mendelian disease genes. Enrichments were observed in established pathways for QT and JT, with new genes indicated in insulin-receptor signalling and cardiac energy metabolism. In contrast, connective tissue components and processes for cell growth and extracellular matrix interactions were significantly enriched for QRS. We demonstrate polygenic risk score associations with atrial fibrillation, conduction disease and sudden cardiac death. Prioritization of druggable genes highlighted potential therapeutic targets for arrhythmia. Together, these results substantially advance our understanding of the genetic architecture of ventricular depolarization and repolarization.

Abstract

Reproductive longevity is essential for fertility and influences healthy ageing in women, but insights into its underlying biological mechanisms and treatments to preserve it are limited. Here we identify 290 genetic determinants of ovarian ageing, assessed using normal variation in age at natural menopause (ANM) in about 200,000 women of European ancestry. These common alleles were associated with clinical extremes of ANM; women in the top 1% of genetic susceptibility have an equivalent risk of premature ovarian insufficiency to those carrying monogenic FMR1 premutations. The identified loci implicate a broad range of DNA damage response (DDR) processes and include loss-of-function variants in key DDR-associated genes. Integration with experimental models demonstrates that these DDR processes act across the life-course to shape the ovarian reserve and its rate of depletion. Furthermore, we demonstrate that experimental manipulation of DDR pathways highlighted by human genetics increases fertility and extends reproductive life in mice. Causal inference analyses using the identified genetic variants indicate that extending reproductive life in women improves bone health and reduces risk of type 2 diabetes, but increases the risk of hormone-sensitive cancers. These findings provide insight into the mechanisms that govern ovarian ageing, when they act, and how they might be targeted by therapeutic approaches to extend fertility and prevent disease.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is responsible for a public health burden with multi-systemic complications. Through trans-ancestry meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and independent replication (n = 1,046,070), we identified 264 associated loci (166 new). Of these, 147 were likely to be relevant for kidney function on the basis of associations with the alternative kidney function marker blood urea nitrogen (n = 416,178). Pathway and enrichment analyses, including mouse models with renal phenotypes, support the kidney as the main target organ. A genetic risk score for lower eGFR was associated with clinically diagnosed CKD in 452,264 independent individuals. Colocalization analyses of associations with eGFR among 783,978 European-ancestry individuals and gene expression across 46 human tissues, including tubulo-interstitial and glomerular kidney compartments, identified 17 genes differentially expressed in kidney. Fine-mapping highlighted missense driver variants in 11 genes and kidney-specific regulatory variants. These results provide a comprehensive priority list of molecular targets for translational research.

Abstract

Elevated serum urate levels cause gout and correlate with cardiometabolic diseases via poorly understood mechanisms. We performed a trans-ancestry genome-wide association study of serum urate in 457,690 individuals, identifying 183 loci (147 previously unknown) that improve the prediction of gout in an independent cohort of 334,880 individuals. Serum urate showed significant genetic correlations with many cardiometabolic traits, with genetic causality analyses supporting a substantial role for pleiotropy. Enrichment analysis, fine-mapping of urate-associated loci and colocalization with gene expression in 47 tissues implicated the kidney and liver as the main target organs and prioritized potentially causal genes and variants, including the transcriptional master regulators in the liver and kidney, HNF1A and HNF4A. Experimental validation showed that HNF4A transactivated the promoter of ABCG2, encoding a major urate transporter, in kidney cells, and that HNF4A p.Thr139Ile is a functional variant. Transcriptional coregulation within and across organs may be a general mechanism underlying the observed pleiotropy between urate and cardiometabolic traits.

Abstract

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is able to bypass the immune system modulating innate and adaptive immune response and blocking T helper 1 (Th1) cell production. Because the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G molecule has immunomodulatory properties inhibiting the function and production of natural killer and cytotoxic lymphocyte T cells, as well as promoting shift from Th1 toward Th2 response, we hypothesized its involvement in susceptibility to HCV infection.Considering that HLA-G mRNA expression has been reported to be under genetic control, an association study was conducted analyzing 800 base pairs upstream the ATG at the 5'upstream regulator region (URR) and 850 base pairs from ATG to exon 3 and the 3'untranslated region (UTR) of HLA-G gene in Italian HCV-positive patients and uninfected controls.Four 5'URR polymorphisms (-725CGT, -509CG, -400GA and -398GA), 7 polymorphisms at coding region (+15GA, +36GA, +243GA, insC506, 531GC, delA615 and 685GA), the +644GT polymorphism, and 1 haplotype (TTGTTCCIGAC) showed different frequency distributions between HCV patients and uninfected controls.The results from our study suggest a possible involvement of HLA-G in the risk modulation toward HCV infection.

Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively analyze human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-G polymorphisms association with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) development and clinical manifestations. The HLA-G 5' upstream regulatory region (URR), 3' untranslated region (UTR) and a cytosine deletion at exon 3 (ΔC, HLA-G*0105N allele) were analyzed in 114 SLE patients and 128 healthy controls from North East Brazil. The +3003T>C (rs1707) C allele and the HG010101c extended HLA-G allele were significantly more frequent in SLE patients than healthy controls (+3003C allele frequency: 12% in SLE patients vs 6% in controls; odds ratio (OR), 2.10, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06-4.28, P = 0.026; HG010101c frequency: 11.8% in SLE patients and 6.3% in controls; OR, 2.14, 95% CI, 1.01-4.51, P = 0.046) and were associated with susceptibility for disease development. Other polymorphisms were associated with different clinical manifestations. Although HLA-G role in SLE disease is far from being elucidated yet, our association study results along with a systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that HLA-G might be able to slightly modulate the complex SLE phenotype (pooled OR, 1.14, 95% CI, 1.02-1.27, P = 0.021).

Abstract

In this work we investigated, in populations located in Central Asia, the relationship between PROP taste perception and vegetables liking and consumption using FAOSTAT dataset. Collected data were analysed using distance matrices, Mantel test and Pearson correlation. Populations showing similar ability in tasting PROP bitterness are more similar as respect to vegetable consumption (r = 0.63, p-value = .05). Moreover, a significant negative correlation was found between the percentage of Non Taster (NT) in different countries and the percentage of vegetable consumption (r = -0.87, p-value = .02), while a significant positive correlation emerged between the percentage of Super Taster (ST) and the percentage of vegetable liking (r = 0.87, p-value = .02). In our work we showed that differences in bitter perception among populations contributes to differences in vegetable liking and vegetable consumption. More in detail, populations with higher percentage of ST consume more vegetables than population where the majority of individuals are NT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Periodontitis is a common oral disease caused by host inflammatory response towards bacteria biofilm. The chronic activation of immune response leads to destruction of teeth supporting tissue, bone loss and tooth detachment. Different factors could be involved in the development and severity of the disease; among them the host genetic background should be considered. Objectives: In our study, we analysed haploblocks in a genomic region within major histocompatibility complex (MHC) locus aimed at disclosing a possible correlation with the risk of periodontal disease in 602 adult subjects from North‐East Italy. Results: The CTTAC haploblock (formed by LTA‐rs2857709, LTA‐rs2844484, LTA‐ rs2229094, LTA‐rs2229092 and LTA‐rs1041981 polymorphisms) correlated with protection towards periodontitis condition, after regression analysis including age and smoking status as covariates (P‐value = 0.015). Conclusion: Our results suggest that a haplotype within LTA gene (encoding for lymphotoxin alpha) is involved in the susceptibility towards chronic periodontitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

2012/2013 L'antigene leucocitario umano (HLA)-G presenta, in condizioni fisiologiche, una ristretta espressione tessuto-specifica ed ha funzione immuno-tollerogenica. Però, la presenza della molecola HLA-G è stata associata a diverse patologie autoimmuni e virali. In questo progetto di dottorato di ricerca abbiamo analizzato la possibile associazione tra la varianti genetiche nel gene HLA-G, che si suppone regolino l'espressione di HLA-G, e la suscettibilità allo sviluppo e al decorso della malattia celiaca, del lupus eritematoso sistemico, dell'artrite reumatoide e dell'infezione dal virus dell'epatite C. Inoltre, abbiamo analizzato se variazioni all'interno del promotore di HLA-G possano alterare la sua trascrizione genica, a questo scopo è stato condotto il saggio della luciferasi. Per gli studi di associazione sono stati analizzati 800 bp del promotore, l’intero 3’UTR e la delezione di una citosina all’esone 3 (ΔC, allele HLA-G*0105N) in 402 pazienti celiaci e 509 controlli italiani; 114 pazienti con lupus eritematoso sistemico e 128 controlli sani provenienti dal Nord -Est del Brasile, 127 pazienti con artrite reumatoide e 128 controlli dal Nord-Est del Brasile, e 286 pazienti caucasici HCV positivi e 285 controlli provenienti dalla stessa area geografica. Il saggio della luciferasi è stato condotto su 9 diversi aplotipi al promotore del gene HLA-G: CCTAGGACCG, CGTAGGACCG, CTTAGGACCG, TCGGTACGAA, TGGGTACGAA, TTGGTACGAA, CCTAGGAGCG, CGTAGGAGCG, e CTTAGGAGCG. Numerosi SNPs e aplotipi del gene HLA-G sono stati associati con le malattie analizzate. Inoltre, il saggio della luciferasi ha permesso di constatare che la presenza di polimorfismi, nel promotore del gene HLA-G, altera la trascrizione genica; nello specifico, in condizioni di stress, l’allele -725 C era significativamente associato ad un aumento della trascrizione del gene rispetto agli alleli -725 G e T. I nostri i risultati indicano un'associazione tra i polimorfismi del gene HLA-G e la suscettibilità allo sviluppo delle malattie studiate, suggerendo che molecola HLA-G è coinvolta nella patogenesi di queste malattie. Inoltre, possiamo ipotizzare che il gene HLA-G sia un gene stress-inducibile e che la presenza di SNPs al promotore alterati i livelli di trascrizione del gene The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-G present a physiological restricted tissue-specific expression and an immuno-tolerogenic functions. The HLA-G expression has been associated with various autoimmune and viral diseases. In this PhD project we analyzed the possible association between genetic variant in the HLA-G gene, supposed to regulate HLA-G expression, and the susceptibility to develop celiac disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and hepatitis C virus infection. Furthermore, we analyzed if variations within the HLA-G promoter could alter its transcription, and for this reason luciferase reporter gene assays was conducted. The HLA-G 5’ upstream regulatory region (URR), 3’ untranslated region (UTR) and a cytosine deletion at exon 3 (ΔC, HLA-G*0105N allele) were analyzed in 402 celiac patients and 509 controls from Italy; 114 systemic lupus erythematosus patients and 128 healthy controls from North East Brazil; 127 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 128 controls from North East Brazil; and 286 Hepatitis C virus Caucasian patients and 285 controls from the same geographical area. The luciferase reporter gene assay was used for the HLA-G promoter CCTAGGACCG, CGTAGGACCG, CTTAGGACCG, TCGGTACGAA, TGGGTACGAA, TTGGTACGAA, CCTAGGAGCG, CGTAGGAGCG, and CTTAGGAGCG haplotypes. Several HLA-G SNPs and haplotypes were associated with the diseases analyzed. By luciferase reporter gene assay, we found that the presence of polymorphisms in the HLA-G promoter altered gene transcription, specifically -725 C allele was significantly associated with an increased of the HLA-G transcription with respect to -725 G and T alleles in stress condition. Our findings indicate an association between HLA-G gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to diseases development, suggesting that HLA-G molecule is involved in the pathogenesis of the diseases. Also, we can hypothesize that HLA-G gene is a stress-inducible gene and that the presence of SNPs to the promoter alter levels of transcription of the gene XXVI Ciclo 1980

Abstract

In recent years, a number of different mechanisms regulating gene expressions, either in normal or in pathological conditions, have been discovered. This review aims to highlight some of the regulatory pathways involved during the HIV-1 infection and disease progression, focusing on the novel discovered microRNAs (miRNAs) and their relation with immune system’s agents. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) family of proteins plays a key role because it is a crucial modulator of the immune response; here we will examine recent findings, centering especially on HLA-C and -G, novel players lately discovered to engage in modulation of immune system. We hope to provide novel perspectives useful to find out original therapeutic roads against HIV-1 infection and AIDS progression.

Abstract

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >250 loci for body mass index (BMI), implicating pathways related to neuronal biology. Most GWAS loci represent clusters of common, non-coding variants from which pinpointing causal genes remains challenging. Here, we combined data from 718,734 individuals to discover rare and low-frequency (MAF<5%) coding variants associated with BMI. We identified 14 coding variants in 13 genes, of which eight in genes (ZBTB7B, ACHE, RAPGEF3, RAB21, ZFHX3, ENTPD6, ZFR2, ZNF169) newly implicated in human obesity, two (MC4R, KSR2) previously observed in extreme obesity, and two variants in GIPR. Effect sizes of rare variants are ~10 times larger than of common variants, with the largest effect observed in carriers of an MC4R stop-codon (p.Tyr35Ter, MAF=0.01%), weighing ~7kg more than non-carriers. Pathway analyses confirmed enrichment of neuronal genes and provide new evidence for adipocyte and energy expenditure biology, widening the potential of genetically-supported therapeutic targets to treat obesity.
