Abstract

This study investigates the frequency of a clinically reported variant in PMS2, NM_000535.7:c.2523G>A p.(W841∗), from next-generation sequencing studies in 2 racially diverse cohorts. We identified clinical reports of the PMS2 c.2523G>A p.(W841∗) variant in the National Precision Oncology Program’s somatic testing database (n = 25,168). We determined frequency of the variant in germline exome sequencing from the Penn Medicine BioBank (n = 44,256) and in gnomAD. The PMS2 c.2523G>A p.(W841∗) was identified as a homozygous variant on tumor testing in an adult patient of self-identified Black race/ethnicity with no evidence of constitutional mismatch repair deficiency. The variant was clinically reported on 35 total tumor and liquid biopsy tests (0.1%), and all individuals with the variant were of self-identified Black race/ethnicity (0.6% of n = 5787). In individuals of African genetic ancestry (AFR), the variant's germline frequency was reported to be 0.2% and 1.3% in the Penn Medicine BioBank (PMBB) and gnomAD, respectively. The variant cannot be found in any individuals of European genetic ancestry (EUR) from either of the databases. The variant is found in a region of PMS2 with 100% homology to the PMS2CL pseudogene. PMS2 c.2523G>A p.(W841∗), when identified, is typically an African-ancestry-specific PMS2CL pseudogene variant, which should be recognized to prevent misdiagnosis of Lynch syndrome in Blacks.

Abstract

Background: Mood disorders and strokes are often comorbid, and their health toll worldwide is huge. This study characterizes prognostic and causal roles of mood disorders in stroke. Methods: We tested if genetic susceptibilities for mood disorders were associated with all strokes, ischemic strokes in the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort (24 631 individuals with a median follow-up of 21.3 (interquartile range: 16.6–23.2) years. We further examined the causal effects for mood disorders on all strokes and ischemic strokes using summary statistics from large genome-wide association studies of mood disorders (up to 609 424 individuals, Psychiatric Genomics Consortium), all strokes and ischemic strokes (up to 446 696 individuals, MEGASTROKE Consortium). Results: Among 24 366 stroke-free participants at baseline, 2632 individuals developed strokes, 2172 of them ischemic, during follow-up. After properly adjusting for well-known risk factors, participants in the highest quintile of polygenic risk scores for mood disorders had 1.45× (95% CI, 1.21–1.74) higher risk of strokes and 1.44× (95% CI, 1.18–1.76) higher risk of ischemic strokes compared with the lowest quintile in women. Mendelian randomization analyses suggested that mood disorders had a causal effect on strokes (odds ratio, 1.07 [95% CI, 1.03–1.11]) and ischemic strokes (odds ratio, 1.09 [95% CI, 1.04–1.13]). Conclusions: Our results suggest a causal role of mood disorders in the risk of stroke. High-risk women could be identified early in life using polygenic risk scores to ultimately prevent mood disorders and strokes.

Abstract

Severe alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), phenotype PiZZ, was associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE) in a case-control study.This study aimed to determine the genetic variation in the SERPINA1 gene and a possible thrombotic risk of these variants in a population-based cohort study.The coding sequence of SERPINA1 was analyzed for the Z (rs28929474), S (rs17580), and other qualifying variants in 28,794 subjects without previous VTE (born 1923-1950, 60% women), who participated in the Malmö Diet and Cancer study (1991-1996). Individuals were followed from baseline until the first event of VTE, death, or 2018.Resequencing the coding sequence of SERPINA1 identified 84 variants in the total study population, 21 synonymous, 62 missense, and 1 loss-of-function variant. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that homozygosity for the Z allele increased the risk of VTE whereas heterozygosity showed no effect. The S (rs17580) variant was not associated with VTE. Thirty-one rare variants were qualifying and included in collapsing analysis using the following selection criteria, loss of function, in frame deletion or non-benign (PolyPhen-2) missense variants with minor allele frequency (MAF)0.1%. Combining the rare qualifying variants with the Z variant showed that carrying two alleles (ZZ or compound heterozygotes) showed increased risk. Cox regression analysis revealed an adjusted hazard ratio of 4.5 (95% confidence interval 2.0-10.0) for combinations of the Z variant and rare qualifying variants. One other variant (rs141620200; MAF = 0.002) showed an increased risk of VTE.The SERPINA1 ZZ genotype and compound heterozygotes for severe AATD are rare but associated with VTE in a population-based Swedish study.

Abstract

Background Cardiometabolic diseases are highly comorbid, but their relationship with female‐specific or overwhelmingly female‐predominant health conditions (breast cancer, endometriosis, pregnancy complications) is understudied. This study aimed to estimate the cross‐trait genetic overlap and influence of genetic burden of cardiometabolic traits on health conditions unique to women. Methods and Results Using electronic health record data from 71 008 ancestrally diverse women, we examined relationships between 23 obstetrical/gynecological conditions and 4 cardiometabolic phenotypes (body mass index, coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension) by performing 4 analyses: (1) cross‐trait genetic correlation analyses to compare genetic architecture, (2) polygenic risk score–based association tests to characterize shared genetic effects on disease risk, (3) Mendelian randomization for significant associations to assess cross‐trait causal relationships, and (4) chronology analyses to visualize the timeline of events unique to groups of women with high and low genetic burden for cardiometabolic traits and highlight the disease prevalence in risk groups by age. We observed 27 significant associations between cardiometabolic polygenic scores and obstetrical/gynecological conditions (body mass index and endometrial cancer, body mass index and polycystic ovarian syndrome, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes, type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome). Mendelian randomization analysis provided additional evidence of independent causal effects. We also identified an inverse association between coronary artery disease and breast cancer. High cardiometabolic polygenic scores were associated with early development of polycystic ovarian syndrome and gestational hypertension. Conclusions We conclude that polygenic susceptibility to cardiometabolic traits is associated with elevated risk of certain female‐specific health conditions.

Abstract

Background Five classic thrombophilias have been recognized: factor V Leiden (rs6025), the prothrombin G20210A variant (rs1799963), and protein C, protein S, and antithrombin deficiencies. This study aimed to determine the thrombotic risk of classic thrombophilias in a cohort of middle‐aged and older adults. Methods and Results Factor V Leiden, prothrombin G20210A and protein‐coding variants in the PROC (protein C), PROS1 (protein S), and SERPINC1 (antithrombin) anticoagulant genes were determined in 29 387 subjects (born 1923–1950, 60% women) who participated in the Malmö Diet and Cancer study (1991–1996). The Human Gene Mutation Database was used to define 68 disease‐causing mutations. Patients were followed up from baseline until the first event of venous thromboembolism (VTE), death, or Dec 31, 2018. Carriership (n=908, 3.1%) for disease‐causing mutations in the PROC , PROS1 , and SERPINC1 genes was associated with incident VTE: Hazard ratio (HR) was 1.6 (95% CI, 1.3–1.9). Variants not in Human Gene Mutation Database were not linked to VTE (HR, 1.1; 95% CI, 0.8–1.5). Heterozygosity for rs6025 and rs1799963 was associated with incident VTE: HR, 1.8 (95% CI, 1.6–2.0) and HR, 1.6 (95% CI, 1.3–2.0), respectively. The HR for carrying 1 classical thrombophilia variant was 1.7 (95% CI, 1.6–1.9). HR was 3.9 (95% CI, 3.1–5.0) for carriers of ≥2 thrombophilia variants. Conclusions The 5 classic thrombophilias are associated with a dose‐graded risk of VTE in middle‐aged and older adults. Disease‐causing variants in the PROC , PROS1 , and SERPINC1 genes were more common than the rs1799963 variant but the conferred genetic risk was comparable with the rs6025 and rs1799963 variants.

Abstract

Tissue factor is the main initiator of blood coagulation, and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is the primary inhibitor of the initiation of blood coagulation.The genetic variation ofThe exomes ofNo common variant was associated with VTE. Nine rare variants (two loss-of-function and seven nonbenign missense) were classified as qualifying and included in collapsing analysis. Prevalence of qualifying variants was 0.09%. Five individuals with VTE compared to 17 individuals without VTE carried one qualifying variant. Cox multivariate regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, smoking and alcohol consumption, rs6025, rs1799963, and ancestry showed a hazard ratio of 2.9 (95% CI, 1.2-7.1) for rare qualifying variants.Rare qualifying

Abstract

PurposeGenome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with several cancers, but the predictive ability of polygenic risk scores (PRS) is unclear, especially among non-Whites.MethodsGenome-wide genotype data was available for 20,079 individuals enrolled in an academic biobank. PRS were derived from significant DNA variants for 15 cancers. We determined the discriminatory accuracy of each cancer-specific PRS in patients of genetically-determined African and European ancestry separately.ResultsAmong individuals of European genetic ancestry, PRS for breast, colon, melanoma, and prostate were significantly associated with their respective cancers (OR 1.25-1.47). Among individuals of African genetic ancestry, PRS for breast, colon, and prostate were significantly associated with their respective cancers. The AUC of a model comprised of age, sex, and principal components was 0.617–0.709 and increased by 1-4% with the PRS in individuals of European genetic ancestry. In individuals of African genetic ancestry, AUC was overall higher in the model without PRS (0.740-0.811) but increased < 1% with the PRS in the majority of cancers.ConclusionPRS constructed from SNPs moderately increased discriminatory ability for cancer status in individuals of European but not African ancestry. Further large-scale studies are needed to identify ancestry-specific genetic factors in non-White populations to incorporate PRS into cancer risk assessment.

Abstract

Genome-wide association studies have identified hundreds of single nucleotide variations (formerly single nucleotide polymorphisms) associated with several cancers, but the predictive ability of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) is unclear, especially among non-Whites.PRSs were derived from genome-wide significant single-nucleotide variations for 15 cancers in 20,079 individuals in an academic biobank. We evaluated the improvement in discriminatory accuracy by including cancer-specific PRS in patients of genetically-determined African and European ancestry.Among the individuals of European genetic ancestry, PRSs for breast, colon, melanoma, and prostate were significantly associated with their respective cancers. Among the individuals of African genetic ancestry, PRSs for breast, colon, prostate, and thyroid were significantly associated with their respective cancers. The area under the curve of the model consisting of age, sex, and principal components was 0.621 to 0.710, and it increased by 1% to 4% with the inclusion of PRS in individuals of European genetic ancestry. In individuals of African genetic ancestry, area under the curve was overall higher in the model without the PRS (0.723-0.810) but increased by1% with the inclusion of PRS for most cancers.PRS moderately increased the ability to discriminate the cancer status in individuals of European but not African ancestry. Further large-scale studies are needed to identify ancestry-specific genetic factors in non-White populations to incorporate PRS into cancer risk assessment.

Abstract

Rapid decline of glomerular filtration rate estimated from creatinine (eGFRcrea) is associated with severe clinical endpoints. In contrast to cross-sectionally assessed eGFRcrea, the genetic basis for rapid eGFRcrea decline is largely unknown. To help define this, we meta-analyzed 42 genome-wide association studies from the Chronic Kidney Diseases Genetics Consortium and United Kingdom Biobank to identify genetic loci for rapid eGFRcrea decline. Two definitions of eGFRcrea decline were used: 3 mL/min/1.73m(2)/year or more ("Rapid3"; encompassing 34,874 cases, 107,090 controls) and eGFRcrea decline 25% or more and eGFRcrea under 60 mL/min/1.73m(2) at follow-up among those with eGFRcrea 60 mL/min/1.73m(2) or more at baseline ("CKDi25"; encompassing 19,901 cases, 175,244 controls). Seven independent variants were identified across six loci for Rapid3 and/or CKDi25: consisting of five variants at four loci with genome-wide significance (near UMOD-PDILT (2), PRKAG2, WDR72, OR2S2) and two variants among 265 known eGFRcrea variants (near GATM, LARP4B). All these loci were novel for Rapid3 and/or CKDi25 and our bioinformatic follow-up prioritized variants and genes underneath these loci. The OR2S2 locus is novel for any eGFRcrea trait including interesting candidates. For the five genome-wide significant lead variants, we found supporting effects for annual change in blood urea nitrogen or cystatin-based eGFR, but not for GATM or (LARP4B). Individuals at high compared to those at low genetic risk (8-14 vs. 0-5 adverse alleles) had a 1.20-fold increased risk of acute kidney injury (95% confidence interval 1.08-1.33). Thus, our identified loci for rapid kidney function decline may help prioritize therapeutic targets and identify mechanisms and individuals at risk for sustained deterioration of kidney function., Zweitveröffentlichungen der Universität Potsdam : Reihe der Digital Engineering Fakultät; 19

Abstract

[BACKGROUND & AIMS] Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic liver disease in which autoimmune destruction of the small intra-hepatic bile ducts eventually leads to cirrhosis. Many patients have inadequate response to licensed medications, motivating the search for novel therapies. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and meta-analyses (GWMA) of PBC have identified numerous risk loci for this condition, providing insight into its aetiology. We undertook the largest GWMA of PBC to date, aiming to identify additional risk loci and prioritise candidate genes for in silico drug efficacy screening. [METHODS] We combined new and existing genotype data for 10, 516 cases and 20, 772 controls from five European and two East Asian cohorts. [RESULTS] We identified 56 genome-wide significant loci (20 novel) including 46 in European, 13 in Asian, and 41 in combined cohorts; and a 57th genome-wide significant locus (also novel) in conditional analysis of the European cohorts. Candidate genes at newly identified loci include FCRL3, INAVA, PRDM1, IRF7, CCR6, CD226, and IL12RB1, each having key roles in immunity. Pathway analysis reiterated the likely importance of pattern recognition receptor and TNF signalling, Jak-STAT signalling, and differentiation of TH1 and TH17 cells in the pathogenesis of this disease. Drug efficacy screening identified several medications predicted to be therapeutic in PBC, some well-established in the treatment of other autoimmune disorders. [CONCLUSIONS] This study has identified additional risk loci for PBC, provided a hierarchy of agents that could be trialled in this condition, and emphasised the value of genetic and genomic approaches to drug discovery in complex disorders. [Lay summary] Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic liver disease that eventually leads to cirrhosis. In this study, we analysed genetic information from 10, 516 people with PBC and 20, 772 healthy individuals recruited in Canada, China, Italy, Japan, UK, or USA. We identified several genetic regions associated with PBC. Each of these regions contains several genes. For each region, we used diverse sources of evidence to help us choose the gene most likely to be involved in causing PBC. We used these ‘candidate genes’ to help us identify medications that are currently used for treatment of other conditions, which might also be useful for treatment of PBC., 原発性胆汁性胆管炎のゲノムワイド関連解析 --国際メタ解析による新規疾患感受性遺伝子と治療薬候補の同定--. 京都大学プレスリリース. 2021-06-28.

Abstract

Summary Osteoarthritis affects over 300 million people worldwide. Here, we conduct a genome-wide association study meta-analysis across 826,690 individuals (177,517 with osteoarthritis) and identify 100 independently associated risk variants across 11 osteoarthritis phenotypes, 52 of which have not been associated with the disease before. We report thumb and spine osteoarthritis risk variants and identify differences in genetic effects between weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing joints. We identify sex-specific and early age-at-onset osteoarthritis risk loci. We integrate functional genomics data from primary patient tissues (including articular cartilage, subchondral bone, and osteophytic cartilage) and identify high-confidence effector genes. We provide evidence for genetic correlation with phenotypes related to pain, the main disease symptom, and identify likely causal genes linked to neuronal processes. Our results provide insights into key molecular players in disease processes and highlight attractive drug targets to accelerate translation., Graphical abstract, Highlights • A multicohort study identifies 52 previously unknown osteoarthritis genetic risk variants • Similarities and differences in osteoarthritis genetic risk depend on joint sites • Osteoarthritis genetic components are associated with pain-related phenotypes • High-confidence effector genes highlight potential targets for drug intervention, A multicohort genome-wide association meta-analysis of osteoarthritis highlights the impact of joint site types on the features of genetic risk variants and the link between osteoarthritis genetics and pain-related phenotypes, pointing toward potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract

Background Prediction of disease risk is a key component of precision medicine. Common traits such as psychiatric disorders have a complex polygenic architecture, making the identification of a single risk predictor difficult. Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) denoting the sum of an individual’s genetic liability for a disorder are a promising biomarker for psychiatric disorders, but they require evaluation in a clinical setting. Methods We developed PRSs for 6 psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, cross disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and anorexia nervosa) and 17 nonpsychiatric traits in more than 10,000 individuals from the Penn Medicine Biobank with accompanying electronic health records. We performed phenome-wide association analyses to test their association across disease categories. Results Four of the 6 psychiatric PRSs were associated with their primary phenotypes (odds ratios from 1.2 to 1.6). Cross-trait associations were identified both within the psychiatric domain and across trait domains. PRSs for coronary artery disease and years of education were significantly associated with psychiatric disorders, largely driven by an association with tobacco use disorder. Conclusions We demonstrated that the genetic architecture of electronic health record–derived psychiatric diagnoses is similar to ascertained research cohorts from large consortia. Psychiatric PRSs are moderately associated with psychiatric diagnoses but are not yet clinically predictive in naive patients. Cross-trait associations for these PRSs suggest a broader effect of genetic liability beyond traditional diagnostic boundaries. As identification of genetic markers increases, including PRSs alongside other clinical risk factors may enhance prediction of psychiatric disorders and associated conditions in clinical registries.

Abstract

Background Extreme variation in provider nutritional practices in the NICU leads to poor growth of premature infants. Standardization of current feeding practices through quality improvement may improve growth trajectory and developmental outcomes. Objectives Increase the mean delta Z score for weight (difference in z-score between birth weight and discharge weight) from −1.8 to −1 within 6 months and sustain for 1 year, for neonates with birth weight (BW) Methods A multidisciplinary team evaluated nutrition practices for VLBW infants and key drivers were determined (figure 1). Re-education around our current feeding protocol and intolerance decision aid, sharing growth information during rounds using an in-house assessment tool (figure 2), increased accessibility to breast pump rentals, standardization of lactation consultation ordering, and development of an infographic to assist mothers in choosing breast milk over formula (figure 3) were interventions tested using the IHI Model for Improvement. Mean delta Z score for weight (primary outcome measure) and number of lactation consultation orders per week (process measure) were recorded and analyzed. Results Mean delta weight Z-score increased from −1.8 to −1.08 (figure 4) following the implementation of all of the noted interventions with centerline shift that has lasted for 8 months (40% improvement). Mean number of lactation consults ordered per week increased from 1 to 4. Conclusions Reducing nutrition practice variation shows marked improvements in infant nutrition status. We continue to test other interventions with the hope of further decreasing growth failure.

Abstract

Serous borderline tumor (SBT) is a unique histopathologic entity of the ovary, believed to be intermediate between benign cystadenoma and invasive low-grade serous carcinoma. While somatic mutations in the KRAS or BRAF, and rarely ERBB2, genes have been well characterized in SBTs, other genetic alterations have not been described. Toward a more comprehensive understanding of the molecular genetic architecture of SBTs, we undertook whole exome sequencing of this tumor type.Following pathologic review and laser capture microdissection to enrich for tumor cells, whole exomes were prepared from DNA of two independent SBTs and subjected to massively parallel DNA sequencing.Both tumors contained an activating mutation of the BRAF gene. A total of 15 additional somatic mutations were identified, nine in one tumor and six in the other. Eleven were missense mutations and four were nonsense or deletion mutations. Fourteen of the 16 genes found to be mutated in this study have been reported to be mutated in other cancers. Furthermore, 12 of these genes are mutated in ovarian cancers. The FBXW7 and KIAA1462 genes are noteworthy candidates for a pathogenic role in serous borderline tumorigenesis.These findings suggest that a very small number of somatic genetic mutations are characteristic of SBTs of the ovary, thus supporting their classification as a relatively genetically stable tumor type. The mutant genes described herein represent novel candidates for the pathogenesis of ovarian SBT.
