Abstract

Abstract Population stratification is a confounder of genetic association studies. In analyses of rare variants, corrections based on principal components (PCs) and linear mixed models (LMMs) yield conflicting conclusions. Studies evaluating these approaches generally focused on limited types of structure and large sample sizes. We investigated the properties of several correction methods through a large simulation study using real exome data, and several within- and between-continent stratification scenarios. We considered different sample sizes, with situations including as few as 50 cases, to account for the analysis of rare disorders. Large samples showed that accounting for stratification was more difficult with a continental than with a worldwide structure. When considering a sample of 50 cases, an inflation of type-I-errors was observed with PCs for small numbers of controls (≤ 100), and with LMMs for large numbers of controls (≥ 1000). We also tested a novel local permutation method (LocPerm), which maintained a correct type-I-error in all situations. Powers were equivalent for all approaches pointing out that the key issue is to properly control type-I-errors. Finally, we found that power of analyses including small numbers of cases can be increased, by adding a large panel of external controls, provided an appropriate stratification correction was used.

Abstract

Summary Background Various observations have suggested that the course of COVID-19 might be less favourable in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases receiving rituximab compared with those not receiving rituximab. We aimed to investigate whether treatment with rituximab is associated with severe COVID-19 outcomes in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. Methods In this cohort study, we analysed data from the French RMD COVID-19 cohort, which included patients aged 18 years or older with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases and highly suspected or confirmed COVID-19. The primary endpoint was the severity of COVID-19 in patients treated with rituximab (rituximab group) compared with patients who did not receive rituximab (no rituximab group). Severe disease was defined as that requiring admission to an intensive care unit or leading to death. Secondary objectives were to analyse deaths and duration of hospital stay. The inverse probability of treatment weighting propensity score method was used to adjust for potential confounding factors (age, sex, arterial hypertension, diabetes, smoking status, body-mass index, interstitial lung disease, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, corticosteroid use, chronic renal failure, and the underlying disease [rheumatoid arthritis vs others]). Odds ratios and hazard ratios and their 95% CIs were calculated as effect size, by dividing the two population mean differences by their SD. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04353609. Findings Between April 15, 2020, and Nov 20, 2020, data were collected for 1090 patients (mean age 55·2 years [SD 16·4]); 734 (67%) were female and 356 (33%) were male. Of the 1090 patients, 137 (13%) developed severe COVID-19 and 89 (8%) died. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, severe disease was observed more frequently (effect size 3·26, 95% CI 1·66–6·40, p=0·0006) and the duration of hospital stay was markedly longer (0·62, 0·46–0·85, p=0·0024) in the 63 patients in the rituximab group than in the 1027 patients in the no rituximab group. 13 (21%) of 63 patients in the rituximab group died compared with 76 (7%) of 1027 patients in the no rituximab group, but the adjusted risk of death was not significantly increased in the rituximab group (effect size 1·32, 95% CI 0·55–3·19, p=0·53). Interpretation Rituximab therapy is associated with more severe COVID-19. Rituximab will have to be prescribed with particular caution in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. Funding None.

Abstract

Natural killer (NK) cells are circulating cytotoxic lymphocytes that exert potent and nonredundant antiviral activity and antitumoral activity in the mouse; however, their function in host defense in humans remains unclear. Here, we investigated 6 related patients with autosomal recessive growth retardation, adrenal insufficiency, and a selective NK cell deficiency characterized by a lack of the [CD56.sup.dim] NK subset. Using linkage analysis and fine mapping, we identified the disease-causing gene, MCM4, which encodes a component of the MCM2-7 helicase complex required for DNA replication. A splice-site mutation in the patients produced a frameshift, but the mutation was hypomorphic due to the creation of two new translation initiation methionine codons downstream of the premature termination codon. The patients' fibroblasts exhibited genomic instability, which was rescued by expression of WT MCM4. These data indicate that the patients' growth retardation and adrenal insufficiency likely reflect the ubiquitous but heterogeneous impact of the MCM4 mutation in various tissues. In addition, the specific loss of the NK [CD56.sup.dim] subset in patients was associated with a lower rate of NK [CD56.sup.bright] cell proliferation, and the maturation of NK [CD56.sup.bright] cells toward an NK [CD56.sup.dim] phenotype was tightly dependent on MCM4-dependent cell division. Thus, partial MCM4 deficiency results in a genetic syndrome of growth retardation with adrenal insufficiency and selective NK deficiency., Introduction Natural killer (NK) cells are circulating cytotoxic lymphocytes lacking antigen-specific T cell and B cell receptors (1, 2). They have been shown to exert potent and nonredundant antiviral activity [...]

Abstract

Leprosy is a persistent infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae that still affects over 200,000 new patients annually. The host genetic background is an important risk factor for leprosy susceptibility and the PARK2 gene is a replicated leprosy susceptibility candidate gene. The protein product of PARK2, Parkin, is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is involved in the development of various forms of Parkinsonism. The human macrophage is both a natural host cell of M. leprae as well as a primary mediator of natural immune defenses, in part by secreting important pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Here, we report that down-regulation of Parkin in THP-1 macrophages, human monocyte-derived macrophages and human Schwann cells resulted in a consistent and specific decrease in interleukin-6 (IL-6) and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1/CCL2) production in response to mycobacteria or LPS. Interestingly, production of IL-6 at 6 hours by THP-1 cells stimulated with live M. leprae and M. bovis BCG was dependent on pretreatment with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (VD). Parkin knockdown in VD-treated cells blocked IL-6 induction by mycobacteria. However, IκB-α phosphorylation and levels of IκB-ξ, a nuclear protein required for IL-6 expression, were not affected by Parkin silencing. Phosphorylation of MAPK ERK1/2 and p38 was unaffected by Parkin silencing while JNK activation was promoted but did not explain the altered cytokine production. In a final set of experiments we found that genetic risk factors of leprosy located in the PARK2 promoter region were significantly correlated with M. leprae sonicate triggered CCL2 and IL6 transcript levels in whole blood assays. These results associated genetically controlled changes in the production of MCP-1/CCL2 and IL-6 with known leprosy susceptibility factors.

Abstract

The observation that only a fraction of individuals infected by infectious agents develop clinical disease raises fundamental questions about the actual pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Epidemiological and experimental evidence is accumulating to suggest that human genetics plays a major role in this process. As we discuss here, human predisposition to infectious diseases seems to cover a continuous spectrum from monogenic to polygenic inheritance. Although many studies have provided proof of principle that infectious diseases may result from various types of inborn errors of immunity, the genetic determinism of most infectious diseases in most patients remains unclear. However, in the future, studies in human genetics are likely to establish a new paradigm for infectious diseases., Introduction The determinism of human infectious diseases is still widely misunderstood, with these diseases commonly thought to be purely infectious. As exposure to a microbial agent is obviously required for [...]

Abstract

ObjectivesThere is little known about the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (iRMD). We examined epidemiological characteristics associated with severe disease, then with death. We also compared mortality between patients hospitalised for COVID-19 with and without iRMD.MethodsIndividuals with suspected iRMD-COVID-19 were included in this French cohort. Logistic regression models adjusted for age and sex were used to estimate adjusted ORs and 95% CIs of severe COVID-19. The most significant clinically relevant factors were analysed by multivariable penalised logistic regression models, using a forward selection method. The death rate of hospitalised patients with iRMD-COVID-19 (moderate–severe) was compared with a subset of patients with non-iRMD-COVID-19 from a French hospital matched for age, sex, and comorbidities.ResultsOf 694 adults, 438 (63%) developed mild (not hospitalised), 169 (24%) moderate (hospitalised out of the intensive care unit (ICU) and 87 (13%) severe (patients in ICU/deceased) disease. In multivariable imputed analyses, the variables associated with severe infection were age (OR=1.08, 95% CI: 1.05–1.10), female gender (OR=0.45, 95% CI: 0.25–0.80), body mass index (OR=1.07, 95% CI: 1.02–1.12), hypertension (OR=1.86, 95% CI: 1.01–3.42), and use of corticosteroids (OR=1.97, 95% CI: 1.09–3.54), mycophenolate mofetil (OR=6.6, 95% CI: 1.47–29.62) and rituximab (OR=4.21, 95% CI: 1.61–10.98). Fifty-eight patients died (8% (total) and 23% (hospitalised)). Compared with 175 matched hospitalised patients with non-iRMD-COVID-19, the OR of mortality associated with hospitalised patients with iRMD-COVID-19 was 1.45 (95% CI: 0.87–2.42) (n=175 each group).ConclusionsIn the French RMD COVID-19 cohort, as already identified in the general population, older age, male gender, obesity, and hypertension were found to be associated with severe COVID-19. Patients with iRMD on corticosteroids, but not methotrexate, or tumour necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6 inhibitors, should be considered as more likely to develop severe COVID-19. Unlike common comorbidities such as obesity, and cardiovascular or lung diseases, the risk of death is not significantly increased in patients with iRMD.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov Registry (NCT04353609).

Abstract

In the last decade, autosomal recessive IL-12Rβ1 deficiency has been diagnosed in four children with severe tuberculosis from three unrelated families from Morocco, Spain, and Turkey, providing proof-of-principle that tuberculosis in otherwise healthy children may result from single-gene inborn errors of immunity. We aimed to estimate the fraction of children developing severe tuberculosis due to IL-12Rβ1 deficiency in areas endemic for tuberculosis and where parental consanguinity is common.We searched for IL12RB1 mutations in a series of 50 children from Iran, Morocco, and Turkey. All children had established severe pulmonary and/or disseminated tuberculosis requiring hospitalization and were otherwise normally resistant to weakly virulent BCG vaccines and environmental mycobacteria. In one child from Iran and another from Morocco, homozygosity for loss-of-function IL12RB1 alleles was documented, resulting in complete IL-12Rβ1 deficiency. Despite the small sample studied, our findings suggest that IL-12Rβ1 deficiency is not a very rare cause of pediatric tuberculosis in these countries, where it should be considered in selected children with severe disease.This finding may have important medical implications, as recombinant IFN-γ is an effective treatment for mycobacterial infections in IL-12Rβ1-deficient patients. It also provides additional support for the view that severe tuberculosis in childhood may result from a collection of single-gene inborn errors of immunity.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND:Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are inherited diseases associated with a considerable increase in susceptibility to infections. It is known that PIDs can also predispose to cancer and immune diseases, including allergy, autoimmunity, and inflammation.OBJECTIVE:We aimed at determining the incidence of autoimmunity and inflammation in patients with PIDs.METHODS:We have retrospectively screened 2183 consecutive cases of PID in the Centre de Référence Déficits Immunitaires Héréditaires registry (CEREDIH; the French national PID registry) for the occurrence of autoimmunity and inflammation.RESULTS:One or more autoimmune and inflammatory complications were noted in 26.2% of patients, with a risk of onset throughout the patient's lifetime. The risk of autoimmune cytopenia was at least 120 times higher than in the general population, the risk of inflammatory bowel disease in children was 80 times higher, and the risk of other autoimmune manifestations was approximately 10 times higher. Remarkably, all types of PIDs were associated with a risk of autoimmune and inflammatory complications, although the greatest risk was associated with T-cell PIDs and common variable immunodeficiency. The occurrence of autoimmune disease is a negative prognostic factor for survival.CONCLUSIONS:Our results provide the basis for a detailed prospective evaluation of autoimmunity and inflammation in the context of PIDs, with a view to accurately assessing these risks and describing the possible effect of medical intervention.

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the changes in flow velocity waveforms in the transverse cerebral sinus in growth-restricted fetuses and to correlate these changes with (1) flow velocity waveforms in the ductus venosus and (2) changes in computerized analysis of the fetal cardiotocogram. Design Fetuses between 22 and 37 weeks' gestation with an estimated fetal weight below the fifth centile were included in this prospective longitudinal study. Doppler measurements of the umbilical artery, descending aorta, middle cerebral artery, transverse cerebral sinus and ductus venosus were recorded. Fetal heart rate was analyzed by a computer system according to the Dawes–Redman criteria. Results We measured a significant correlation between pulsatility index in the cerebral transverse sinus and in the ductus venosus over the study period and at delivery. There was a negative correlation between these indices and short- and long-term variability of the fetal heart rate. There was a parallel increase in pulsatility in the ductus venosus and the transverse cerebral sinus. These changes were inversely correlated with fetal heart rate variability and preceded fetal distress. Conclusion Cerebral venous blood flow in IUGR fetuses may be a useful additional investigation to discriminate between fetal adaptation and fetal decompensation in chronic hypoxemia.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To report on the unexpected improvement in major biological surrogate markers (CD4 T-cell count, HIV RNA viral load, and apoptosis level) during the periods of 'brown sugar' heroin intoxication (BSI) in 12 HIV-1-infected intravenous drug users, independently of their antiretroviral therapy, compared to the period of 'brown sugar' heroin withdrawal (BSW). METHODS: The patients were followed prospectively for a total of 417 months over 4 years. Twenty-four episodes of BSI and 24 periods of BSW were analyzed. RESULTS: (1) BSI: the mean (+/-SE) duration was 9+/-1.8 months; at onset, the mean +/-SE CD4 T-cell count was 401+/-88/mm3; at the end, an absolute increase of 346 CD4 T-cells/mm3 and a CD4 T-cell count relative variation of +131% was observed. Half of the patients showed an increase of CD4 T-cell count of more than 90% during their follow-up. The mean+/-SE of CD8 T-cell count increased significantly by 108%. (2) BSW: the mean +/- SE duration was 8.4+/-1.3 months; at onset, the mean +/-SE CD4 T-cell count was 695+/-78/mm3; at the end, an absolute decrease of 342 CD4 T-cells/mm3 and a CD4 T-cell count relative variation of -52% was observed. Half of the patients showed a decrease of CD4 T-cell count of more than 51%. (3) Circulating viral load appeared to be significantly higher during BSW (median: 452 000 Eq RNA/mL) than during BSI (median: 52 000 Eq RNA/mL); p

Abstract

Fifty years ago, the first identification of a non Mendelian genetic contribution to the development of a common infectious disease, i.e. the association between malaria and sickle-cell trait, was shown using a supervised approach which tests a limited number of candidate genes selected by hypothesis. Since then, the few genes that were convincingly associated with susceptibility to human infectious diseases were identified following the same strategy. The study of leprosy has contributed to modifying this way of thinking. In the absence of a satisfying experimental model and because of the impossibility to grow the causative agent in vitro, the candidate gene approach has turned out to be of limited interest. Conversely, positional cloning led to the identification of two major genes involved in the control of the disease, establishing for the first time the oligogenic nature of a human genetic contribution to an infectious disease. It is likely that these major results obtained in leprosy and the recent burst of genomic tools will make the genome-wide screening (functional or positional) the main strategy of dissection of the genetic susceptibility to many common infectious diseases.

Abstract

Principal component analysis (PCA), homozygosity rate estimations, and linkage studies in humans are classically conducted through genome-wide single-nucleotide variant arrays (GWSA). We compared whole-exome sequencing (WES) and GWSA for this purpose. We analyzed 110 subjects originating from different regions of the world, including North Africa and the Middle East, which are poorly covered by public databases and have high consanguinity rates. We tested and applied a number of quality control (QC) filters. Compared with GWSA, we found that WES provided an accurate prediction of population substructure using variants with a minor allele frequency > 2% (correlation = 0.89 with the PCA coordinates obtained by GWSA). WES also yielded highly reliable estimates of homozygosity rates using runs of homozygosity with a 1,000-kb window (correlation = 0.94 with the estimates provided by GWSA). Finally, homozygosity mapping analyses in 15 families including a single offspring with high homozygosity rates showed that WES provided 51% less genome- wide linkage information than GWSA overall but 97% more information for the coding regions. At the genome-wide scale, 76.3% of linked regions were found by both GWSA and WES, 17.7% were found by GWSA only, and 6.0% were found by WES only. For coding regions, the corresponding percentages were 83.5%, 7.4%, and 9.1%, respectively. With appropriate QC filters, WES can be used for PCA and adjustment for population substructure, estimating homozygosity rates in individuals, and powerful linkage analyses, particularly in coding regions.

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the changes in flow velocity waveforms in the transverse cerebral sinus in growth-restricted fetuses and to correlate these changes with (1) flow velocity waveforms in the ductus venosus and (2) changes in computerized analysis of the fetal cardiotocogram. Design Fetuses between 22 and 37 weeks' gestation with an estimated fetal weight below the fifth centile were included in this prospective longitudinal study. Doppler measurements of the umbilical artery, descending aorta, middle cerebral artery, transverse cerebral sinus and ductus venosus were recorded. Fetal heart rate was analyzed by a computer system according to the Dawes–Redman criteria. Results We measured a significant correlation between pulsatility index in the cerebral transverse sinus and in the ductus venosus over the study period and at delivery. There was a negative correlation between these indices and short- and long-term variability of the fetal heart rate. There was a parallel increase in pulsatility in the ductus venosus and the transverse cerebral sinus. These changes were inversely correlated with fetal heart rate variability and preceded fetal distress. Conclusion Cerebral venous blood flow in IUGR fetuses may be a useful additional investigation to discriminate between fetal adaptation and fetal decompensation in chronic hypoxemia.

Abstract

We studied the distribution of peripheral B-cell subsets in patients deficient for key factors of the TLR-signaling pathways (MyD88, TIRAP/MAL, IL-1 receptor–associated kinase 4 [IRAK-4], TLR3, UNC-93B, TRIF). All TLRs, except TLR3, which signals through the TRIF adaptor, require MyD88 and IRAK-4 to mediate their function. TLR4 and the TLR2 heterodimers (with TLR1, TLR6, and possibly TLR10) require in addition the adaptor TIRAP, whereas UNC-93B is needed for the proper localization of intracellular TLR3, TLR7, TLR8, and TLR9. We found that IgM+IgD+CD27+but not switched B cells were strongly reduced in MyD88-, IRAK-4-, and TIRAP-deficient patients. This defect did not appear to be compensated with age. However, somatic hypermutation of Ig genes and heavy-chain CDR3 size distribution of IgM+IgD+CD27+B cells were not affected in these patients. In contrast, the numbers of IgM+IgD+CD27+B cells were normal in the absence of TLR3, TRIF, and UNC-93B, suggesting that UNC-93B–dependent TLRs, and notably TLR9, are dispensable for the presence of this subset in peripheral blood. Interestingly, TLR10 was found to be expressed at greater levels in IgM+IgD+CD27+compared with switched B cells in healthy patients. Hence, we propose a role for TIRAP-dependent TLRs, possibly TLR10 in particular, in the development and/or maintenance of IgM+IgD+CD27+B cells in humans.

Abstract

Fifty years ago, the first identification of a non Mendelian genetic contribution to the development of a common infectious disease, i.e. the association between malaria and sickle-cell trait, was shown using a supervised approach which tests a limited number of candidate genes selected by hypothesis. Since then, the few genes that were convincingly associated with susceptibility to human infectious diseases were identified following the same strategy. The study of leprosy has contributed to modifying this way of thinking. In the absence of a satisfying experimental model and because of the impossibility to grow the causative agent in vitro, the candidate gene approach has turned out to be of limited interest. Conversely, positional cloning led to the identification of two major genes involved in the control of the disease, establishing for the first time the oligogenic nature of a human genetic contribution to an infectious disease. It is likely that these major results obtained in leprosy and the recent burst of genomic tools will make the genome-wide screening (functional or positional) the main strategy of dissection of the genetic susceptibility to many common infectious diseases.
