  • GWAS of mosaic loss of chromosome Y highlights genetic effects on blood cell differentiation - Nature communications (2020) · Terao C, Momozawa Y, Ishigaki K, Kawakami E, Akiyama M, Loh PR, Genovese G, Sugishita H, Ohta T, Hirata M, Perry JRB, Matsuda K, Murakami Y, Kubo M, Kamatani Y · PubMed 31624269

    ABSTRACT: Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (mLOY) is frequently observed in the leukocytes of ageing men. However, the genetic architecture and biological mechanisms underlying mLOY are not fully understood. In a cohort of 95,380 Japanese men, we identify 50 independent genetic markers in 46 loci associated with mLOY at a genome-wide significant level, 35 of which are unreported. Lead markers overlap enhancer marks in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs, P ≤ 1.0 × 10−6). mLOY genome-wide association study signals exhibit polygenic architecture and demonstrate strong heritability enrichment in regions surrounding genes specifically expressed in multipotent progenitor (MPP) cells and HSCs (P ≤ 3.5 × 10−6). ChIP-seq data demonstrate that binding sites of FLI1, a fate-determini

  • Leveraging Polygenic Functional Enrichment to Improve GWAS Power. - American journal of human genetics (2019) · Kichaev G, Bhatia G, Loh PR, Gazal S, Burch K, Freund MK, Schoech A, Pasaniuc B, Price AL · PubMed 30595370

    Functional genomics data has the potential to increase GWAS power by identifying SNPs that have a higher prior probability of association. Here, we introduce a method that leverages polygenic functional enrichment to incorporate coding, conserved, regulatory, and LD-related genomic annotations into association analyses. We show via simulations with real genotypes that the method, functionally informed novel discovery of risk loci (FINDOR), correctly controls the false-positive rate at null loci and attains a 9%-38% increase in the number of independent associations detected at causal loci, depending on trait polygenicity and sample size. We applied FINDOR to 27 independent complex traits and diseases from the interim UK Biobank release (average N = 130K). Averaged across traits, we attaine

  • Genetic variants associated with mosaic Y chromosome loss highlight cell cycle genes and overlap with cancer susceptibility - Nature genetics (2017) · Wright DJ, Day FR, Kerrison ND, Zink F, Cardona A, Sulem P, Thompson DJ, Sigurjonsdottir S, Gudbjartsson DF, Helgason A, Chapman JR, Jackson SP, Langenberg C, Wareham NJ, Scott RA, Thorsteindottir U, Ong KK, Stefansson K, Perry JRB · PubMed 28346444

    ABSTRACT: The Y-chromosome is frequently lost in hematopoietic cells, representing the most common somatic mutation in men. However, the mechanisms regulating mosaic loss of chromosome-Y (mLOY), and its clinical relevance, are unknown. Using genotype array intensity data and sequence reads in 85,542 men, we identify 19 genomic regions (P<5x10-8) associated with mLOY. Cumulatively, these loci also predicted X-chromosome loss in women (N=96,123, P=4x10-6). Additional epigenome-wide methylation analyses in whole blood highlighted 36 differentially methylated sites associated with mLOY. Identified genes converge on aspects of cell proliferation and cell-cycle regulation, including DNA synthesis (NPAT), DNA damage response (ATM), mitosis (PMF1-CENPN-MAD1L1) and apoptosis (TP53). We highlight sh
