Genetic architecture of sporadic frontotemporal dementia and overlap with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases

Reference: Ferrari Rafaelle, Wang Yungpeng, Vandrovcova Jana, Van Broeckhoven Christine [medewerker], et. al.- Genetic architecture of sporadic frontotemporal dementia and overlap with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases Journal of neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry - ISSN 0022-3050 - 88:2(2017), p. 152-164 Full text (Publisher's DOI): http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.1136/JNNP-2016-314411

Institutional repository IRUA Methods We performed a 2-stage genome wide association study (GWAS) on clinical FTD analyzing a total of 3,526 FTD cases and 9,402 controls with European ancestry. We conducted separate association analyses for each FTD subtype (behavioural variant FTD [bvFTD], semantic dementia [SD], progressive non-fluent aphasia [PNFA], and FTD overlapping with motor neuron disease [FTD-MND]) and then meta-analyzed the entire dataset in discovery phase (2,154 cases vs. 4,308 controls). We carried forward replication of the novel suggestive loci in an independent sample series (1,372 cases vs. 5,094 controls) and then performed joint phase and brain e/mQTL (expression/methylation quantitative trait loci) analyses for the associated and suggestive SNPs.

Findings We identified novel associations exceeding the genome wide significance threshold (p-value<5x10-8) that encompassed the HLA locus at 6p21·3 in the entire cohort. We also identified a potential novel locus at 11q14, encompassing RAB38/CTSC for the bvFTD subtype. Analysis of expression and methylation quantitative trait loci (e/mQTL) data suggested that these loci might affect expression and methylation in-cis.

Interpretation This study points to immune system processes (link to 6p21·3) and possibly to lysosomal and autophagy pathways (link to 11q14) as potentially involved in FTD. The new loci will need to be replicated in future studies to better define their association with disease and possibly shed light on the pathomechanisms contributing to FTD.

Summary Background Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a complex disorder characterized by a broad range of clinical manifestations, differential pathological signatures and considerable genetic variability. To date, mutations in three – MAPT, GRN, and C9orf72 – have been associated with FTD. In the current study we sought identifying novel genetic risk loci associated with disease.

Methods We performed a 2-stage genome wide association study (GWAS) on clinical FTD analyzing a total of 3,526 FTD cases and 9,402 controls with European ancestry. We conducted separate association analyses for each FTD subtype (behavioural variant FTD [bvFTD], semantic dementia [SD], progressive non-fluent aphasia [PNFA], and FTD overlapping with motor neuron disease [FTD-MND]) and then meta- analyzed the entire dataset in discovery phase (2,154 cases vs. 4,308 controls). We carried forward replication of the novel suggestive loci in an independent sample series (1,372 cases vs. 5,094 controls) and then performed joint phase and brain e/mQTL (expression/methylation quantitative trait loci) analyses for the associated and suggestive SNPs.

Findings We identified novel associations exceeding the genome wide significance threshold (p- value<5x10-8) that encompassed the HLA locus at 6p21·3 in the entire cohort. We also identified a potential novel locus at 11q14, encompassing RAB38/CTSC for the bvFTD subtype. Analysis of expression and methylation quantitative trait loci (e/mQTL) data suggested that these loci might affect expression and methylation in-cis.

Interpretation This study points to immune system processes (link to 6p21·3) and possibly to lysosomal and autophagy pathways (link to 11q14) as potentially involved in FTD. The new loci will need to be replicated in future studies to better define their association with disease and possibly shed light on the pathomechanisms contributing to FTD.

Introduction Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common form of young-onset dementia after Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and represents ~10-20% of all dementias worldwide.1 FTD occurs in approximately three-15/100,000 individuals aged mid to late 50s or early 60s.2 The disease has an insidious onset; it is familial in 30-50% of cases and affects men and women almost equally.3 The main clinical syndromes are the behavioural (bvFTD)1,4 and the language variants (semantic dementia [SD] and progressive nonfluent aphasia [PNFA]).1,5 There is also overlap with motor neuron disease (FTD-MND), and atypical parkinsonian disorders.3 The molecular pathology is heterogeneous and based on the type of neuronal lesions and inclusions: ≥40% of cases have tau pathology (FTLD-tau: frontotemporal lobar degeneration with tau inclusions), ~50% have TDP-43 (TAR-DNA binding protein 43) pathology (FTLD-TDP),6 and the remaining ≤10% fused in sarcoma (FUS) (FTLD-FUS) or ubiquitin/p62 positive inclusions (FTLD-UPS [ubiquitin proteasome system]).7 Mutations in three main genes are commonly associated with FTD: the microtubule associated protein tau (MAPT),8 granulin (GRN),9,10 and C9orf72.11- 15 Mutations in the charged multivesicular body protein 2B (CHMP2B), the valosin containing protein (VCP), and ubiquilin 2 (UBQLN2) genes are rare causes of disease.13,16 A previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) on neuropathologically confirmed FTLD-TDP (515 cases vs. 2,509 controls) identified TMEM106B as a disease risk factor.17

Herein we present a larger GWAS on clinical FTD and report results for the discovery, replication and joint phase analyses, as well as for assessment of effect on expression and methylation quantitative trait loci (QTL) exerted by associated and/or suggestive SNPs. The aim of this study was to identify novel genetic risk loci associated with frontotemporal dementia and its subtypes.

Materials and Methods

Cases ascertainment Forty-four international research groups (Supplementary Table S1; webappendix pp 1-2) contributed samples to this 2-stage (discovery and replication phases) GWAS on clinical FTD. Appropriate informed consent for cases and controls was obtained at each individual site and every participating group provided consent for their use for the purposes of this study. The cases included in discovery phase were collected by mid 2010 and were diagnosed according to the Neary criteria1 for FTD; cases included in replication phase were collected between 2011 and early 2013: the majority of the samples were diagnosed according to the Neary criteria1 whereas the most recent cases were diagnosed according to the revised criteria for bvFTD4 and SD/PNFA5 at each collaborative site. For each case the diagnosis was made by either a neurologist with an interest in FTD or (the minority) by pathological diagnosis. To cover the most relevant FTD clinical signatures, patients diagnosed with bvFTD, SD, PNFA, and FTD-MND18 were included in the study. All language cases were reviewed to exclude cases of the logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia,5 the majority of which are associated with Alzheimer’s disease pathology. Samples were obtained from North America (US and Canada), UK, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Spain and Italy and were of confirmed European ancestry.

DNA was collected at the three Institutions leading this project: the Department of Molecular Neuroscience at the University College of London (UCL), the Laboratory of Neurogenetics of the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Laboratory of Neurogenetics at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC). All samples were de-identified and stored with a specific coded ID. Each DNA sample was evaluated for quality through gel electrophoresis and concentrations were evaluated via spectrophotometer (Nanodrop) or fluorometer (Qubit) (see further below). Non-overlapping cases were genotyped at the Laboratory of Neurogenetics of the National Institute on Aging at the NIH (40%) and at the core facility at the Institute of Child Health at UCL (60%). Standardized clinical, pathological and genetic information for each case was collected from all the collaborating groups (Supplementary Table S2; webappendix pp 3). Sporadic cases along with probands from FTD families were included in the study. Carriers of mutations in MAPT and GRN were excluded from the study. Individuals with C9orf72 expansions were not excluded because this locus was identified subsequent to sample collection. During the discovery phase we collected a total of 3,581 cases; after material quality check (QC) 2,559 cases were genotyped. Subsequently, after genotyping data QC and detailed assessment of the clinical diagnosis, 2,154 cases were used for association analysis (Table 1a). During the replication phase we collected a total of 1,993 cases; after material QC 1,581 cases were genotyped. Subsequently, after genotyping data QC and detailed assessment of the clinical diagnosis, 1,372 cases were used for the replication analysis (Table 1a). In total, 3,526 FTD samples that survived quality control (QC) were analyzed in this study (Table 1a).

Controls ascertainment Normal controls for the discovery phase were taken from studies previously conducted at either the Laboratory of Neurogenetics at the NIH or at the UCL. Controls were matched based on population ancestry and genotyping platform. Aggregate data for control samples were merged based on overlapping SNPs. The selected 7,444 control samples originated from the US, UK, Italy, Germany, France, Sweden, and the Netherlands and were used as controls in previous GWAS; 19 all had given consent for their samples to be used as controls. All were free of neurologic illness at time of sampling but most controls had not been screened for the absence of a family history of FTD. For each case, at least 2 controls were matched based on compatibility of genetic ancestry estimates by principal components analysis (PCA) to accommodate the lack of precisely matched clinical controls. Eventually 4,308 controls survived QC. The genotyping of controls for the replication phase was performed at the Laboratory of Neurogenetics of the National Institute on Aging at the NIH (90%) and at the core facility at the Institute of Child Health at UCL (10%). All controls used in the replication phase were collected from the groups participating in the study (n=5,094 survived QC) and were from the following ancestry backgrounds: US (European/American), UK, Italy, France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, and the Netherlands.

DNA Quality Control For each sample, a total amount of 2μg of DNA extracted either from blood or brain at each collaborative site was collected (whole genome amplified DNA samples were excluded).

Samples were securely stored in -20°C freezers. Each sample was first screened for integrity by means of gel electrophoresis on 1% agarose gel and purity, as well as concentration were analyzed by

8 spectrophotometric (Nanodrop, Wilmington, DE, USA) or fluorometric (Qubit, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA) quantification. The same procedure was implemented at UCL, NIH and TTUHSC.

Genotyping platform Samples and controls included in discovery phase were genotyped using Illumina human 370K-, 550K-, 660K-Quad Beadchips and Omni Express chips. Illumina NeuroX custom chips were used for all samples and controls included in replication phase genotyping. The NeuroX chip is a partially custom designed chip that specifically targets the main loci associated with a number of different neurological disorders obtained from published or available GWAS and/or whole exome sequencing data. The NeuroX chip holds ~267K SNPs of which 3,759 were FTD specific being selected from SNPs that reached p- values<1x10-4 during the discovery phase of the study. These SNPs were tag SNPs based on European ancestry linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns based on the most recent data for samples of European ancestry from the 1000 Genomes project.20 For all GWAS significant hits and candidate SNPs, 5 LD-based proxies or technical replicates were included on the array per locus, tagging associations within +/- 250 kb and r2 >0·5 from the most strongly associated proximal SNP. To replicate each locus, we picked the tag SNP most significant in the discovery phase a priori. If no LD-based proxies were available, technical replicates were included. All genotyping arrays (discovery phase + replication phase) were assayed on the Illumina Infinium platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) at the Laboratory of Neurogenetics of the National Institute on Aging at NIH and at the core facility at the Institute of Child Health (ICH) at the UCL. All genotypes for this project were called centrally using Illumina Genome Studio and all 3,759 SNPs of interest for FTD were manually examined to ensure high quality genotype clusters prior to data export.

Statistical methods and quality control

Discovery phase Standard QC for GWAS data was undertaken prior to association analyses. In brief, for the discovery phase: overlapping SNPs across all Illumina arrays used in this project were extracted. This was done as a means of dealing with the low numbers of matched cases and controls per study site or chip type to facilitate the FTD subtype analyses. We attempted to maximize sample size for the subtype analyses by pooling as many possible samples while sacrificing some array content, leaving a total of 228,189 autosomal SNPs as a basis for imputation after the quality control described below was completed. Possible gender mismatch samples were excluded by evaluating X heterozygosity. Samples with call rate >95% and SNPs with minor allele frequency (MAF) >1% were filtered and included in the analyses. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) was calculated (exclusion at p-values <1x10-5). Non- random missingness per SNP by case-control status with exclusion at p-values <1x10-5 and non-random missingness per SNP by haplotype at p-values for exclusion <1x10-5 were assessed. Presence of relatedness was evaluated by identifying and excluding 1st degree relatives (through identity by descent [IBD] for any pairwise with an estimate <0·125) and European ancestry was verified by PCA compared to HapMap3 populations, with European ancestry ascertained at values for the first two eigenvectors less than six standard deviations from the population mean for the combined CEU and TSI reference samples.21 After preliminary quality assessment, PCA as implemented in EIGENSTRAT22 was used to evaluate matching between cases and controls based on all available cases and controls. Custom coding

9 in R was used to match cases to controls. Each subtype (bvFTD, SD, PNFA and FTD-MND) was treated as separate groups in which the two most genetically similar unique controls per case were selected based on eigenvectors 1 and 2. This was carried out to compensate for a lack of precisely matched controls at recruitment / study design. In this aspect, matched controls were unique per case and non-redundant across subtype datasets. Thus, cases and controls were matched for each subtype (bvFTD, SD, PNFA and FTD-MND) based on similarity of the first two eigenvectors from PCA and did not overlap across subtypes. Logistic regression was used based on imputed dosages to assess the association between each SNP and any of the FTD subtypes, adjusting for eigenvectors 1 and 2 from PCA as covariates. Eigenvectors were generated separately for each subtype, as in the overall sample pool, parameter estimates for the first 2 were associated with case status at p-values < 0·05. Fixed effects meta-analyses were performed to combine results across subtypes and quantify heterogeneity across subtypes. Genomic inflation was minimal across subtypes and in the meta-analysis across subtypes (lambda <1·05), therefore we did not use genomic control (see Supplementary Figure SF1, webappendix pp 4, for quantile-quantile plots and lambda values per discovery phase analysis). SNPs were imputed to August 2010 release of the 1000 genome haplotypes using default settings of minimac [http://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/Minimac] and were excluded if their MAF was <0·01 or imputation quality (Rsq) was <0·30 across all samples, leaving 6026385 SNPs for analyses.

Replication phase For the replication phase, standard QC was performed as for the discovery phase with slight adjustments to account for the bias in NeuroX array content (candidate neurological/neurodegenerative disease SNPs and exonic content). Standard content variants included on the NeuroX array that were used for sample QC were called using a publicly available cluster file based on over 60,000 samples.23 For QC, variants with GenTrain scores >0·70 (indicative of high quality genotype clusters) were extracted first to calculate call rates. Samples with call rates <95% were excluded, as were samples whose genetically determined sex conflicted that from the clinical data and samples exhibiting excess heterozygosity. Next, SNPs overlapping with HapMap Phase 3 samples were extracted from the previous subset and pruned for LD (SNPs excluded if r2 >0·50 within a 50 SNP sliding window), as well as SNPs with MAF <5%, HWE p-values <1x10-5, and per SNP missingness rates >5%. At this stage, pairwise IBD filtering was used to remove samples that were cryptically related and PCA was used to identify samples to be excluded due to genetic ancestry not consistent with European descent based on comparisons with HapMap Phase 3 reference populations. For replication analyses and due to an effort to maximize the limited power of this phase compared to the discovery phase, analyses of each subtype included all control samples available adjusting for the first five eigenvectors only from PCA as covariates in the logistic regression model. No other adjustments were implemented. In addition, we pooled the individual genotypes from different subsets together in the replication phase to help increase statistical power.

Expression and methylation quantitative trait loci (QTL)

UK Brain Expression Consortium (UKBEC)

Sample Collection Brain samples originating from 134 control individuals were collected by the Medical Research Council (MRC) Sudden Death Brain and Tissue Bank,24 Edinburgh, UK (n=100), and the Sun Health Research Institute (SHRI) Brain Donation Program25 an affiliate of Sun Health Corporation, USA (n=34). All individuals were confirmed to be neuropathologically normal by histology performed on sections prepared from paraffin-embedded brain tissue blocks and the diagnosis was determined by a consultant neuropathologist. All samples had fully informed consent for retrieval and were authorized for ethically approved scientific investigation (Research Ethics Committee number 10/H0716/3). In this study we specifically assessed expression in frontal cortex tissue.26-28

RNA isolation and processing of samples using Affymetrix Exon 1·0 ST Arrays Total RNA was isolated from human post-mortem brain tissues using the miRNeasy 96 well kit (Qiagen, UK). The quality of total RNA was evaluated by the 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, UK) and RNA 6000 Nano Kit (Agilent, UK) before processing with the Ambion® WT Expression Kit and Affymetrix GeneChip Whole Transcript Sense Target Labeling Assay, and hybridization to the Affymetrix Exon 1.0 ST Arrays following the manufacturers’ protocols. Hybridized arrays were scanned on an Affymetrix GeneChip® Scanner 3000 7G and visually inspected for hybridization artefacts. Further details regarding tissue collection, RNA isolation, quality control and processing have been previously reported.29

All arrays were pre-processed using Robust Multi-array Average (quantile normalisation, summary by median polish) algorithm30 in Affymetrix Power Tools 1.14.3 software (http://www.affymetrix.com/partners_programs/programs/developer/tools/powertools.affx). After re- mapping the Affymetrix probesets onto build 19 (GRCh37) as documented in the Netaffx annotation file (HuEx-1_0-st-v2 Probeset Annotations, Release 31), we restricted analysis to probesets that had annotation, contained at least 3 probes that were uniquely hybridized to the genome and without polymorphisms (MAF > 1% in the European panel of the March 2012 release of 1000 Genomes) within the probe sequences.31 Gene expression data is available from Gene Expression Omnibus under the accession number GSE46706.

DNA extraction, genotyping and imputation Genomic DNA was extracted from sub-dissected samples (100–200 mg) of human post-mortem brain tissue using Qiagen’s DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (Qiagen, UK). Samples from every individual were run on two different genotype chips: the Illumina Infinium Omni1-Quad BeadChip and the ImmunoChip, a custom genotyping array designed for the fine-mapping of auto-immune disorders.32 The BeadChips were scanned using an iScan (Illumina, USA) with an AutoLoader (Illumina, USA). GenomeStudio v.1.8.X (Illumina, USA) was used for analysing the data and generating SNP calls.

Prior to imputation, standard quality controls were conducted in each array type. This included removal of individuals suspected to be of non-European ancestry (3 removed) and sample call rate < 95% (none removed). Standard quality control on the genotype data included removal of CNV and indel markers

11 and SNPs with either call rate < 95%, p-value of deviation from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium < 0·0001 or less than 2 heterozygotes present or mismatching alleles with the 1000 Genomes even after strand flipping or symmetric SNPs with ambiguous allele frequency.

After standard quality controls, genotyped SNPs from both arrays were combined and imputed using MaCH33, 34 and minimac (http://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/Minimac) using the 1000Genomes (March 2012). We used the resulting ~5·8 million SNPs and ~570 thousand indels with good post-imputation quality (r2 > 0·50) and minor allele frequency of at least 5% in subsequent analyses.

North American Brain Expression Consortium (NABEC)

Sample collection Frontal cortex samples originating from 399 neuropathologically-confirmed control individuals were collected as previously described.32, 35 Briefly the samples originated from the University of Maryland Brain Bank, Baltimore (n=207), Sun Health Research Institute (n=52, non-overlapping with UKBEC), Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (n=20), University of Miami (n=16), the Department of Neuropathology of John Hopkins University (n=9) and the Medical Research Council (MRC) Sudden Death Brain and Tissue Bank (n=95, subset of UKBEC). This study was approved by the appropriate institutional research ethics board.

RNA isolation and processing of samples using Illumina Human HT12-v3 Arrays Total RNA was extracted from sub-dissected samples (100–200 mg) of human post-mortem brain tissue using a glass-Teflon homogenizer and 1mL TRIzol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturers’ instructions. RNA was biotinylated and amplified using the Illumina® TotalPrep-96 RNA Amplification Kit and directly hybridized onto Human HT12 Expression BeadChips (Illumina Inc., USA) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Expression data were analysed using the Gene Expression Module 3.2.7 within Illumina® BeadStudio. Raw intensity values for each probe were transformed using the cubic spline normalization method and then log2 transformed for mRNA analysis. We re-mapped the annotation for probes according to ReMOAT36 on the human genome build 19 and then restricted the analysis to genes that were reliable, uniquely hybridized and were associated with gene descriptions. Gene expression is available from Gene Expression Omnibus under the accession number GSE36192.

DNA isolation and processing of samples using Illumina Human Methylation27 arrays The CpG methylation in cerebellum and frontal cortex was determined in a subset of the NABEC dataset (n=292). Genomic DNA was phenol–chloroform extracted and quantified on the Nanodrop1000 spectrophotometer prior to bisulfite conversion. Bisulfite conversion of 1 µg of genomic DNA was performed using Zymo EZ-96 DNA Methylation Kit as per the manufacturer's protocol. CpG methylation status of at 27,578 CpG dinucleotides at 14,495 genes was determined using Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadChip, as per the manufacturer's protocol. Data were analyzed in BeadStudio software (Illumina Beadstudio v.3.0). The threshold call rate for inclusion of samples in analysis was 95%. Quality control of sample handling included comparison of genders reported by the brain banks with the gender of the same samples determined by analyzing methylation levels of CpG sites on the X

12 . Beta values were extracted for sites on chromosome X and loaded into the TM 4 MeV tool. These data were then clustered by sample. Based on the methylation levels for chromosome X loci, these data split into two primary groups based on gender. Calls generated by this method were then compared with sample information reported by the brain bank. Samples where genders did not match between brain bank and methylation data were excluded from our analyses. The methylation data is available from Gene Expression Omnibus under the accession number GSE36194.

DNA extraction, genotyping and imputation The DNA extraction and imputation protocol is similar to that employed in UKBEC. The individuals not overlapping with UKBEC genotyped on Illumina Infinium HumanHap550 v3 (Illumina, USA). The SNPs that pass quality control and common to both UKBEC and non-UKBEC individuals were extracted for imputation and approximately 5·3 million SNPs were available after imputation and quality control. eQTL analyses The SNP dosage was analyzed assuming an additive genetic model using linear regression adjusting for covariates of gender, age at death, post mortem interval (PMI), brain bank, batch in which preparation or hybridization were performed (and for the first two principal components of population stratification in NABEC dataset). The analyses were conducted using MACH2QTLv1.11 (http://www.sph.umich.edu/csg/abecasis/MaCH/download/) for NABEC and using MatrixEQTL37 and R (http://www.R-project.org/) for UKBEC. We tested for association with all probes and probesets located within +/- 1MB of each SNP.

Results In discovery phase, we analyzed 2,154 cases (Table 1a) and 4,308 controls. We first conducted separate association analyses for each subtype (bvFTD, SD, PNFA, and FTD-MND; Table1b) and then meta- analyzed the entire dataset.

The meta-analysis revealed 29 SNPs (Supplementary Table S3; webappendix pp 5) exceeding genome- wide significance (p-value <5x10-8) at the HLA locus (6p21·3), encompassing the butyrophilin-like 2 (MHC class II associated) gene (BTNL2) and the major histocompatibility complex, class II, DR alpha (HLA-DRA) and DR beta 5 (HLA-DRB5) (Figure 1a; Table 2). To identify susceptibility loci for the bvFTD subtype we analyzed 1,377 cases (Table 1b) and 2,754 controls. Two non-coding SNPs at 11q14, locating to intron 1 of the gene RAB38, member RAS oncogene family (RAB38) (rs302652) and encompassing RAB38 and cathepsin C (CTSC) (rs74977128), passed the genome-wide significance threshold (Figure 1b; Table 2). Similarly we carried out analyses on the other subtypes (Table 1b): 308 SD vs. 616 controls, 269 PNFA vs. 538 controls, and 200 FTD-MND vs. 400 controls. No SNP reached genome-wide significance in either

13 subtype, probably due to a relatively small sample size. However, several SNPs (Supplementary Table S4; webappendix pp 6-26) showed suggestive associations (p-values between 10-6 and 10-7) (Figure 1c-d-e) and deserve further investigation in future screenings. In replication phase we analyzed 1,372 cases (Table 1a) along with 5,094 controls. We evaluated the associated SNPs at 6p21·3 (rs9268877, rs9268856, and rs1980493) in the whole replication cohort with the following results: rs9268856 showed a p-value=1·4x10-2 with OR=0·878, rs1980493 showed a p-value=2·0x10-2 with OR=0·85, and rs9268877 showed a p-value=1·04x10-1 with OR=1·080 (Table 2). The surrogate/proxy SNPs assessed for replication at 11q14 in 690 bvFTD cases revealed the following results: rs302668 showed a p- value=4·1x10-2 with OR=0·877 (r2 [correlation coefficient that indicates the predictive LD between two loci]=0·65) and rs16913634 showed a p-value=7·1x10-1 with OR=0·964 (r2=0·54) (Table 2). Combined analyses of discovery and replication phases revealed genome-wide significant association at 6p21·3 for all SNPs: rs9268877 (p-value=1·05x10-8, OR=1·204), rs9268856 (p-value=5·51x10-9, OR=0·809), and rs1980493 (p-value=1·57x10-8, OR=0·775) (Table 2). Joint p-values of the SNPs at 11q14 only revealed suggestive association for rs302668 (p-value=2·44X10-7, OR= 0·814) (Table 2) possibly because of decreased power due to proxy-based replication (r2=rs302652 to rs302668=0·65).

We then evaluated biological relevance for the novel potential loci in human brain cortex tissues assayed for genome-wide expression and methylation. There was no eQTL in our dataset, however, assessment of the Zeller et al dataset38 revealed a cis-eQTL (p=5·05x10-32, Supplementary Table S5; webappendix pp 27) at 11q14 for rs302652 (chr11:87894881, risk allele T) causing a decreased expression of RAB38 (Illumina ILMN_2134974 located on chr11:87846656-87846705) in monocytes. These data suggest a role in transcriptional processes in –cis for this SNP. Further, we identified significant cis-mQTL at 6p21·3 after multiple test correction for rs1980493 (risk allele T) that associated with changes in the methylation levels related to HLA-DRA in the frontal cortex (p-value=2·17x10-8) (Table 3).

In order to evaluate potential genetic overlap between FTD and closely related forms of neurodegenerative diseases we selected relevant SNPs for candidate loci and analysed them in our dataset. This analysis included published association studies for ALS,39 PSP/CBD,40 AD41 and FTLD-TDP.17 In addition, we assessed whether the two loci identified through this study had also been reported previously in other studies on neurological disorders.

C9orf72 locus (ALS): the SNP rs3849942 (effect allele A) achieved a p-value of 2·12x10-6 and an OR of 1·957 in the FTD-MND subtype consistent with our post hoc analyses (~23% of expansion carriers among this subtype) (Table 4; Supplementary Table S6, webappendix pp 28). Association was modest in bvFTD (p-value=7·38x10-3, OR=1·155) as well as in the entire discovery cohort (p-value=4·38x10-4, OR=1·166), while there was no evidence for association in the SD or PNFA subtypes (Table 4). These results confirm that the C9orf72 locus associates mainly with FTD-MND and to a lesser extent with bvFTD (Supplementary Table S6; webappendix pp 28).

MAPT locus (PSP/CBD): the SNPs rs242557 and rs8070723 (effect alleles G and A respectively)40 reached modest p-values between 10-3 and 10-4 only in the entire cohort, and in the bvFTD and PNFA subtypes (rs8070723 only; Table 4). The effect was small in our study although in the same direction as in the

14

GWAS for progressive supranuclear palsy (5·4640 vs. ~1·2-1·4 [our study]; Table 4). These results reflect the fact that we excluded all known chromosome 17 mutations carriers and that tau pathology is a less common feature of sporadic FTD.

TOMM40/APOE locus (AD): the SNP rs2075650 (effect allele G) reached a p-value of 8·81x10-7 in the entire dataset and 1·37x10-6 in bvFTD, whereas in the SD, PNFA, and FTD-MND subtypes p-values were in the range of 10-1-10-2 (Table 4). Several AD-GWAS reported association with the minor allele of this SNP with OR>2·5,41 whilst in our study the OR was ~1·3 (Table 4). This suggestive association may reflect clinical overlap (~15%) between clinically diagnosed FTD and AD cases.42

TMEM106B locus (FTLD-TDP): we assessed the three associated SNPs reported by Van Deerlin et al.17 (rs1990622, effect allele A; rs6966915, effect allele C; rs1020004, effect allele T). All achieved modest p- values in the entire dataset with lowest p-values in the range of 10-2-10-3 only in the bvFTD subtype (Table 4). The original work17 was performed on autopsy-confirmed FTLD-TDP cases whereas our cohort is mainly clinically defined. In addition, the previous study included a considerable number of GRN mutation carriers which frequently present with bvFTD;17 in our study GRN mutation carriers were excluded. Biochemical evidence has suggested TMEM106B to be directly related to GRN metabolism,13 thus we regard to our data as a limited replication of the original finding.

Finally, the RAB38 locus previously showed suggestive association in multiple sclerosis (MS),43 whilst the HLA locus was reported associating with MS,44,45 Parkinson’s disease (PD)19,46 and AD.47 None of the SNPs reported in these studies, and that were assessed in our dataset (Table 4),43-46 showed association with FTD, probably suggesting that different risk haplotype sub-structures at the same loci associate with distinctive phenotypes.

Discussion Frontotemporal dementia is characterized by a broad range of clinical manifestations, differential pathological signatures and considerable genetic variability implying to complex disease mechanisms.15 In the search for novel disease risk loci associated with FTD we have performed an extensive GWAS on a large cohort of mainly clinically diagnosed FTD samples of European ancestry. It needs to be acknowledged that a number of limitations may apply to this study. Given phenotype heterogeneity of FTD and considering that it is a rare neurodegenerative disorder (low prevalence),2 testing the hypothesis “common variant – common disease” for diseases of this kind is challenging and clearly benefits from large sample sizes. In addition, our study may indicate association with specific loci without necessarily implying causality; low heritability due to common variability may also apply. However, importantly, the QQ plots and associated lambda values (Supplementary Figure SF1, webappendix pp 4) conformed to GWAS standards, supporting confidence in the final results, eventually.

Our current study included totally more than 3,500 cases and, in this respect, it is the largest GWAS for FTD to date. We have identified two novel potential loci for FTD: 11q14, encompassing RAB38/CTSC was

15 suggestive for the bvFTD subtype, and 6p21·3, encompassing the HLA locus was significant for the entire cohort.

RAB3848 encodes the transmembrane protein RAB38 that is expressed in the thyroid, elements of the immune system, and in the brain (http://www.genecards.org/cgi-bin/carddisp.pl?gene=RAB38; accessed August 2013). From a functional perspective, RAB38 has been shown to mediate protein trafficking to lysosomal-related organelles and maturation of phagosomes.49,50 CTSC is a lysosomal cysteine- proteinase which participates in the activation of serine proteinases in immune/inflammatory cells that are involved in immune and inflammatory processes including phagocytosis of pathogens and local activation and deactivation of inflammatory factors (OMIM: #602365). Of note, the SNP rs302652 at the RAB38/CTSC locus shows an eQTL in monocytes38 associated with decreased expression of RAB38, possibly indicating that a decreased function of RAB38 may be the mechanism by which the association at this locus is mediated. Both RAB38 and CTSC are implicated in lysosomal biology and an association with lysosomal and autophagic processes in FTD was previously suggested in two studies on GRN51 and TMEM106B.52 Interestingly, a role for the autophagy has been also shown in PD.53 Our data will need to be replicated in other FTD cohorts in follow up studies (e.g. fine mapping studies) to support the inference to be made that lysosomal biology and autophagy may be involved in the etiology of FTD.54

The genetic association that we identified with the HLA locus supports the notion of a link between FTD and the immune system. Our mQTL data revealed that risk at this locus significantly associates with cis- changes in methylation levels of HLA-DRA in the frontal cortex. HLA associations have been previously reported in AD,47 PD19,46 as well as classically in MS.44,45 In addition, a general involvement of the innate and the adaptive immune responses has been suggested in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases,55,56 supporting the notion that the immune system plays an important role within the spectrum of neurological disorders.

Our current work represents a foundation for future studies aimed at replicating these results and at shedding light on the functional basis of FTD. In addition, our data indicate that common pathways and processes may underlie different forms of neurodegenerative disorders, including AD, PD, MS and FTD. Exploring the possibility of developing therapeutic measures targeting general damage responses may hold promise, provided further replication and validation, for the development and implementation of treatment options for these neurological disorders, including FTD.

Panel: Research in context

Systematic review The groups participating in this project are all currently active in the research of neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal dementia. To retrieve information on frontotemporal dementia we searched PubMed for the most relevant published work available on this subject as milestone research articles and review articles using the following terms: FTD and genetics, and FTD and review. 1,4,5,8-17,54 We compared our results to a number of previously published genome wide association studies. There was only one directly relevant study that investigated a pathologically defined subtype of FTD (FTLD- TDP).17 The other studies concerned related diseases such as ALS39, AD41,47, PSP/CBD40 , MS43-45 and

16

PD.19,46 In our current study, we analyzed a total of 3,526 (after QC) FTD samples obtained from more than 40 international research groups and we carefully selected those samples eligible for genotyping and those to be included in the analyses to generate our association data. Samples and genotyping data were rigorously filtered through high standard QC steps to assess diagnosis, DNA quality and genotyping output data quality (see Material and Methods section). In this association study all genotyping data have been generated and analyzed within the consortium.

Interpretation This study is the first GWAS on clinical frontotemporal dementia. Given the complexity and heterogeneity of the disease, to date, only three main genes are known to explain a small proportion of cases and, most importantly, not much is known about the mechanisms that influence pathogenesis, i.e. the mechanisms underlying the development of this disorder. Our study suggests that common variability in loci that point to immune processes, and possibly lysosomal biology and autophagy, is involved in the pathobiology of the disease. These findings represent a basis for future replication and functional studies.

Summary Background Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a complex disorder characterized by a broad range of clinical manifestations, differential pathological signatures and considerable genetic variability. To date, mutations in three genes – MAPT, GRN, and C9orf72 – have been associated with FTD. In the current study we sought identifying novel genetic risk loci associated with disease.

Methods We performed a 2-stage genome wide association study (GWAS) on clinical FTD analyzing a total of 3,526 FTD cases and 9,402 controls with European ancestry. We conducted separate association analyses for each FTD subtype (behavioural variant FTD [bvFTD], semantic dementia [SD], progressive non-fluent aphasia [PNFA], and FTD overlapping with motor neuron disease [FTD-MND]) and then meta- analyzed the entire dataset in discovery phase (2,154 cases vs. 4,308 controls). We carried forward replication of the novel suggestive loci in an independent sample series (1,372 cases vs. 5,094 controls) and then performed joint phase and brain e/mQTL (expression/methylation quantitative trait loci) analyses for the associated and suggestive SNPs.

Findings We identified novel associations exceeding the genome wide significance threshold (p- value<5x10-8) that encompassed the HLA locus at 6p21·3 in the entire cohort. We also identified a potential novel locus at 11q14, encompassing RAB38/CTSC for the bvFTD subtype. Analysis of expression and methylation quantitative trait loci (e/mQTL) data suggested that these loci might affect expression and methylation in-cis.

Interpretation This study points to immune system processes (link to 6p21·3) and possibly to lysosomal and autophagy pathways (link to 11q14) as potentially involved in FTD. The new loci will need to be replicated in future studies to better define their association with disease and possibly shed light on the pathomechanisms contributing to FTD.

Funding Intramural funding from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and National Institute on Aging (NIA), the Wellcome/MRC Centre on Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s Research UK (ARUK), and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) office of the Dean.

Introduction Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common form of young-onset dementia after Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and represents ~10-20% of all dementias worldwide.1 FTD occurs in approximately three-15/100,000 individuals aged mid to late 50s or early 60s.2 The disease has an insidious onset; it is familial in 30-50% of cases and affects men and women almost equally.3 The main clinical syndromes are the behavioural (bvFTD)1,4 and the language variants (semantic dementia [SD] and progressive nonfluent aphasia [PNFA]).1,5 There is also overlap with motor neuron disease (FTD-MND), and atypical parkinsonian disorders.3 The molecular pathology is heterogeneous and based on the type of neuronal lesions and protein inclusions: ≥40% of cases have tau pathology (FTLD-tau: frontotemporal lobar degeneration with tau inclusions), ~50% have TDP-43 (TAR-DNA binding protein 43) pathology (FTLD-TDP),6 and the remaining ≤10% fused in sarcoma (FUS) (FTLD-FUS) or ubiquitin/p62 positive inclusions (FTLD-UPS [ubiquitin proteasome system]).7 Mutations in three main genes are commonly associated with FTD: the microtubule associated protein tau (MAPT),8 granulin (GRN),9,10 and C9orf72.11- 15 Mutations in the charged multivesicular body protein 2B (CHMP2B), the valosin containing protein (VCP), and ubiquilin 2 (UBQLN2) genes are rare causes of disease.13,16 A previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) on neuropathologically confirmed FTLD-TDP (515 cases vs. 2,509 controls) identified TMEM106B as a disease risk factor.17

Herein we present a larger GWAS on clinical FTD and report results for the discovery, replication and joint phase analyses, as well as for assessment of effect on expression and methylation quantitative trait loci (QTL) exerted by associated and/or suggestive SNPs. The aim of this study was to identify novel genetic risk loci associated with frontotemporal dementia and its subtypes.

Materials and Methods

Cases ascertainment Forty-four international research groups (Supplementary Table S1; webappendix pp 1-2) contributed samples to this 2-stage (discovery and replication phases) GWAS on clinical FTD. Appropriate informed consent for cases and controls was obtained at each individual site and every participating group provided consent for their use for the purposes of this study. The cases included in discovery phase were collected by mid 2010 and were diagnosed according to the Neary criteria1 for FTD; cases included in replication phase were collected between 2011 and early 2013: the majority of the samples were diagnosed according to the Neary criteria1 whereas the most recent cases were diagnosed according to the revised criteria for bvFTD4 and SD/PNFA5 at each collaborative site. For each case the diagnosis was made by either a neurologist with an interest in FTD or (the minority) by pathological diagnosis. To cover the most relevant FTD clinical signatures, patients diagnosed with bvFTD, SD, PNFA, and FTD-MND18 were included in the study. All language cases were reviewed to exclude cases of the logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia,5 the majority of which are associated with Alzheimer’s disease pathology. Samples were obtained from North America (US and Canada), UK, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Spain and Italy and were of confirmed European ancestry.

DNA was collected at the three Institutions leading this project: the Department of Molecular Neuroscience at the University College of London (UCL), the Laboratory of Neurogenetics of the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Laboratory of Neurogenetics at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC). All samples were de-identified and stored with a specific coded ID. Each DNA sample was evaluated for quality through gel electrophoresis and concentrations were evaluated via spectrophotometer (Nanodrop) or fluorometer (Qubit) (see further below). Non-overlapping cases were genotyped at the Laboratory of Neurogenetics of the National Institute on Aging at the NIH (40%) and at the core facility at the Institute of Child Health at UCL (60%). Standardized clinical, pathological and genetic information for each case was collected from all the collaborating groups (Supplementary Table S2; webappendix pp 3). Sporadic cases along with probands from FTD families were included in the study. Carriers of mutations in MAPT and GRN were excluded from the study. Individuals with C9orf72 expansions were not excluded because this locus was identified subsequent to sample collection. During the discovery phase we collected a total of 3,581 cases; after material quality check (QC) 2,559 cases were genotyped. Subsequently, after genotyping data QC and detailed assessment of the clinical diagnosis, 2,154 cases were used for association analysis (Table 1a). During the replication phase we collected a total of 1,993 cases; after material QC 1,581 cases were genotyped. Subsequently, after genotyping data QC and detailed assessment of the clinical diagnosis, 1,372 cases were used for the replication analysis (Table 1a). In total, 3,526 FTD samples that survived quality control (QC) were analyzed in this study (Table 1a).

Controls ascertainment Normal controls for the discovery phase were taken from studies previously conducted at either the Laboratory of Neurogenetics at the NIH or at the UCL. Controls were matched based on population ancestry and genotyping platform. Aggregate data for control samples were merged based on overlapping SNPs. The selected 7,444 control samples originated from the US, UK, Italy, Germany, France, Sweden, and the Netherlands and were used as controls in previous GWAS; 19 all had given consent for their samples to be used as controls. All were free of neurologic illness at time of sampling but most controls had not been screened for the absence of a family history of FTD. For each case, at least 2 controls were matched based on compatibility of genetic ancestry estimates by principal components analysis (PCA) to accommodate the lack of precisely matched clinical controls. Eventually 4,308 controls survived QC. The genotyping of controls for the replication phase was performed at the Laboratory of Neurogenetics of the National Institute on Aging at the NIH (90%) and at the core facility at the Institute of Child Health at UCL (10%). All controls used in the replication phase were collected from the groups participating in the study (n=5,094 survived QC) and were from the following ancestry backgrounds: US (European/American), UK, Italy, France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, and the Netherlands.

DNA Quality Control For each sample, a total amount of 2μg of DNA extracted either from blood or brain at each collaborative site was collected (whole genome amplified DNA samples were excluded).

Samples were securely stored in -20°C freezers. Each sample was first screened for integrity by means of gel electrophoresis on 1% agarose gel and purity, as well as concentration were analyzed by

8 spectrophotometric (Nanodrop, Wilmington, DE, USA) or fluorometric (Qubit, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA) quantification. The same procedure was implemented at UCL, NIH and TTUHSC.

Genotyping platform Samples and controls included in discovery phase were genotyped using Illumina human 370K-, 550K-, 660K-Quad Beadchips and Omni Express chips. Illumina NeuroX custom chips were used for all samples and controls included in replication phase genotyping. The NeuroX chip is a partially custom designed chip that specifically targets the main loci associated with a number of different neurological disorders obtained from published or available GWAS and/or whole exome sequencing data. The NeuroX chip holds ~267K SNPs of which 3,759 were FTD specific being selected from SNPs that reached p- values<1x10-4 during the discovery phase of the study. These SNPs were tag SNPs based on European ancestry linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns based on the most recent data for samples of European ancestry from the 1000 Genomes project.20 For all GWAS significant hits and candidate SNPs, 5 LD-based proxies or technical replicates were included on the array per locus, tagging associations within +/- 250 kb and r2 >0·5 from the most strongly associated proximal SNP. To replicate each locus, we picked the tag SNP most significant in the discovery phase a priori. If no LD-based proxies were available, technical replicates were included. All genotyping arrays (discovery phase + replication phase) were assayed on the Illumina Infinium platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) at the Laboratory of Neurogenetics of the National Institute on Aging at NIH and at the core facility at the Institute of Child Health (ICH) at the UCL. All genotypes for this project were called centrally using Illumina Genome Studio and all 3,759 SNPs of interest for FTD were manually examined to ensure high quality genotype clusters prior to data export.

Statistical methods and quality control

Discovery phase Standard QC for GWAS data was undertaken prior to association analyses. In brief, for the discovery phase: overlapping SNPs across all Illumina arrays used in this project were extracted. This was done as a means of dealing with the low numbers of matched cases and controls per study site or chip type to facilitate the FTD subtype analyses. We attempted to maximize sample size for the subtype analyses by pooling as many possible samples while sacrificing some array content, leaving a total of 228,189 autosomal SNPs as a basis for imputation after the quality control described below was completed. Possible gender mismatch samples were excluded by evaluating X heterozygosity. Samples with call rate >95% and SNPs with minor allele frequency (MAF) >1% were filtered and included in the analyses. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) was calculated (exclusion at p-values <1x10-5). Non- random missingness per SNP by case-control status with exclusion at p-values <1x10-5 and non-random missingness per SNP by haplotype at p-values for exclusion <1x10-5 were assessed. Presence of relatedness was evaluated by identifying and excluding 1st degree relatives (through identity by descent [IBD] for any pairwise with an estimate <0·125) and European ancestry was verified by PCA compared to HapMap3 populations, with European ancestry ascertained at values for the first two eigenvectors less than six standard deviations from the population mean for the combined CEU and TSI reference samples.21 After preliminary quality assessment, PCA as implemented in EIGENSTRAT22 was used to evaluate matching between cases and controls based on all available cases and controls. Custom coding

9 in R was used to match cases to controls. Each subtype (bvFTD, SD, PNFA and FTD-MND) was treated as separate groups in which the two most genetically similar unique controls per case were selected based on eigenvectors 1 and 2. This was carried out to compensate for a lack of precisely matched controls at recruitment / study design. In this aspect, matched controls were unique per case and non- redundant across subtype datasets. Thus, cases and controls were matched for each subtype (bvFTD, SD, PNFA and FTD-MND) based on similarity of the first two eigenvectors from PCA and did not overlap across subtypes. Logistic regression was used based on imputed dosages to assess the association between each SNP and FTD or any of the FTD subtypes, adjusting for eigenvectors 1 and 2 from PCA as covariates. Eigenvectors were generated separately for each subtype, as in the overall sample pool, parameter estimates for the first 2 were associated with case status at p-values < 0·05. Fixed effects meta-analyses were performed to combine results across subtypes and quantify heterogeneity across subtypes. Genomic inflation was minimal across subtypes and in the meta-analysis across subtypes (lambda <1·05), therefore we did not use genomic control (see Supplementary Figure SF1, webappendix pp 4, for quantile-quantile plots and lambda values per discovery phase analysis). SNPs were imputed to August 2010 release of the 1000 genome haplotypes using default settings of minimac [http://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/Minimac] and were excluded if their MAF was <0·01 or imputation quality (Rsq) was <0·30 across all samples, leaving 6026385 SNPs for analyses.

Replication phase For the replication phase, standard QC was performed as for the discovery phase with slight adjustments to account for the bias in NeuroX array content (candidate neurological/neurodegenerative disease SNPs and exonic content). Standard content variants included on the NeuroX array that were used for sample QC were called using a publicly available cluster file based on over 60,000 samples.23 For QC, variants with GenTrain scores >0·70 (indicative of high quality genotype clusters) were extracted first to calculate call rates. Samples with call rates <95% were excluded, as were samples whose genetically determined sex conflicted that from the clinical data and samples exhibiting excess heterozygosity. Next, SNPs overlapping with HapMap Phase 3 samples were extracted from the previous subset and pruned for LD (SNPs excluded if r2 >0·50 within a 50 SNP sliding window), as well as SNPs with MAF <5%, HWE p-values <1x10-5, and per SNP missingness rates >5%. At this stage, pairwise IBD filtering was used to remove samples that were cryptically related and PCA was used to identify samples to be excluded due to genetic ancestry not consistent with European descent based on comparisons with HapMap Phase 3 reference populations. For replication analyses and due to an effort to maximize the limited power of this phase compared to the discovery phase, analyses of each subtype included all control samples available adjusting for the first five eigenvectors only from PCA as covariates in the logistic regression model. No other adjustments were implemented. In addition, we pooled the individual genotypes from different subsets together in the replication phase to help increase statistical power.

Sample Collection Brain samples originating from 134 control individuals were collected by the Medical Research Council (MRC) Sudden Death Brain and Tissue Bank,24 Edinburgh, UK (n=100), and the Sun Health Research Institute (SHRI) Brain Donation Program25 an affiliate of Sun Health Corporation, USA (n=34). All individuals were confirmed to be neuropathologically normal by histology performed on sections prepared from paraffin-embedded brain tissue blocks and the diagnosis was determined by a consultant neuropathologist. All samples had fully informed consent for retrieval and were authorized for ethically approved scientific investigation (Research Ethics Committee number 10/H0716/3). In this study we specifically assessed expression in frontal cortex tissue.26-28

RNA isolation and processing of samples using Affymetrix Exon 1·0 ST Arrays Total RNA was isolated from human post-mortem brain tissues using the miRNeasy 96 well kit (Qiagen, UK). The quality of total RNA was evaluated by the 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, UK) and RNA 6000 Nano Kit (Agilent, UK) before processing with the Ambion® WT Expression Kit and Affymetrix GeneChip Whole Transcript Sense Target Labeling Assay, and hybridization to the Affymetrix Exon 1.0 ST Arrays following the manufacturers’ protocols. Hybridized arrays were scanned on an Affymetrix GeneChip® Scanner 3000 7G and visually inspected for hybridization artefacts. Further details regarding tissue collection, RNA isolation, quality control and processing have been previously reported.29

All arrays were pre-processed using Robust Multi-array Average (quantile normalisation, summary by median polish) algorithm30 in Affymetrix Power Tools 1.14.3 software (http://www.affymetrix.com/partners_programs/programs/developer/tools/powertools.affx). After re- mapping the Affymetrix probesets onto human genome build 19 (GRCh37) as documented in the Netaffx annotation file (HuEx-1_0-st-v2 Probeset Annotations, Release 31), we restricted analysis to probesets that had gene annotation, contained at least 3 probes that were uniquely hybridized to the genome and without polymorphisms (MAF > 1% in the European panel of the March 2012 release of 1000 Genomes) within the probe sequences.31 Gene expression data is available from Gene Expression Omnibus under the accession number GSE46706.

DNA extraction, genotyping and imputation Genomic DNA was extracted from sub-dissected samples (100–200 mg) of human post-mortem brain tissue using Qiagen’s DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (Qiagen, UK). Samples from every individual were run on two different genotype chips: the Illumina Infinium Omni1-Quad BeadChip and the ImmunoChip, a custom genotyping array designed for the fine-mapping of auto-immune disorders.32 The BeadChips were scanned using an iScan (Illumina, USA) with an AutoLoader (Illumina, USA). GenomeStudio v.1.8.X (Illumina, USA) was used for analysing the data and generating SNP calls.

Prior to imputation, standard quality controls were conducted in each array type. This included removal of individuals suspected to be of non-European ancestry (3 removed) and sample call rate < 95% (none removed). Standard quality control on the genotype data included removal of CNV and indel markers

11 and SNPs with either call rate < 95%, p-value of deviation from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium < 0·0001 or less than 2 heterozygotes present or mismatching alleles with the 1000 Genomes even after strand flipping or symmetric SNPs with ambiguous allele frequency.

After standard quality controls, genotyped SNPs from both arrays were combined and imputed using MaCH33, 34 and minimac (http://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/Minimac) using the 1000Genomes (March 2012). We used the resulting ~5·8 million SNPs and ~570 thousand indels with good post-imputation quality (r2 > 0·50) and minor allele frequency of at least 5% in subsequent analyses.

North American Brain Expression Consortium (NABEC)

Sample collection Frontal cortex samples originating from 399 neuropathologically-confirmed control individuals were collected as previously described.32, 35 Briefly the samples originated from the University of Maryland Brain Bank, Baltimore (n=207), Sun Health Research Institute (n=52, non-overlapping with UKBEC), Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (n=20), University of Miami (n=16), the Department of Neuropathology of John Hopkins University (n=9) and the Medical Research Council (MRC) Sudden Death Brain and Tissue Bank (n=95, subset of UKBEC). This study was approved by the appropriate institutional research ethics board.

RNA isolation and processing of samples using Illumina Human HT12-v3 Arrays Total RNA was extracted from sub-dissected samples (100–200 mg) of human post-mortem brain tissue using a glass-Teflon homogenizer and 1mL TRIzol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturers’ instructions. RNA was biotinylated and amplified using the Illumina® TotalPrep-96 RNA Amplification Kit and directly hybridized onto Human HT12 Expression BeadChips (Illumina Inc., USA) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Expression data were analysed using the Gene Expression Module 3.2.7 within Illumina® BeadStudio. Raw intensity values for each probe were transformed using the cubic spline normalization method and then log2 transformed for mRNA analysis. We re-mapped the annotation for probes according to ReMOAT36 on the human genome build 19 and then restricted the analysis to genes that were reliable, uniquely hybridized and were associated with gene descriptions. Gene expression is available from Gene Expression Omnibus under the accession number GSE36192.

DNA isolation and processing of samples using Illumina Human Methylation27 arrays The CpG methylation in cerebellum and frontal cortex was determined in a subset of the NABEC dataset (n=292). Genomic DNA was phenol–chloroform extracted and quantified on the Nanodrop1000 spectrophotometer prior to bisulfite conversion. Bisulfite conversion of 1 µg of genomic DNA was performed using Zymo EZ-96 DNA Methylation Kit as per the manufacturer's protocol. CpG methylation status of at 27,578 CpG dinucleotides at 14,495 genes was determined using Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadChip, as per the manufacturer's protocol. Data were analyzed in BeadStudio software (Illumina Beadstudio v.3.0). The threshold call rate for inclusion of samples in analysis was 95%. Quality control of sample handling included comparison of genders reported by the brain banks with the gender of the same samples determined by analyzing methylation levels of CpG sites on the X

12 chromosome. Beta values were extracted for sites on chromosome X and loaded into the TM 4 MeV tool. These data were then clustered by sample. Based on the methylation levels for chromosome X loci, these data split into two primary groups based on gender. Calls generated by this method were then compared with sample information reported by the brain bank. Samples where genders did not match between brain bank and methylation data were excluded from our analyses. The methylation data is available from Gene Expression Omnibus under the accession number GSE36194.

DNA extraction, genotyping and imputation The DNA extraction and imputation protocol is similar to that employed in UKBEC. The individuals not overlapping with UKBEC genotyped on Illumina Infinium HumanHap550 v3 (Illumina, USA). The SNPs that pass quality control and common to both UKBEC and non-UKBEC individuals were extracted for imputation and approximately 5·3 million SNPs were available after imputation and quality control. eQTL analyses The SNP dosage was analyzed assuming an additive genetic model using linear regression adjusting for covariates of gender, age at death, post mortem interval (PMI), brain bank, batch in which preparation or hybridization were performed (and for the first two principal components of population stratification in NABEC dataset). The analyses were conducted using MACH2QTLv1.11 (http://www.sph.umich.edu/csg/abecasis/MaCH/download/) for NABEC and using MatrixEQTL37 and R (http://www.R-project.org/) for UKBEC. We tested for association with all probes and probesets located within +/- 1MB of each SNP.

Results In discovery phase, we analyzed 2,154 cases (Table 1a) and 4,308 controls. We first conducted separate association analyses for each subtype (bvFTD, SD, PNFA, and FTD-MND; Table1b) and then meta- analyzed the entire dataset.

The meta-analysis revealed 29 SNPs (Supplementary Table S3; webappendix pp 5) exceeding genome- wide significance (p-value <5x10-8) at the HLA locus (6p21·3), encompassing the butyrophilin-like 2 (MHC class II associated) gene (BTNL2) and the major histocompatibility complex, class II, DR alpha (HLA-DRA) and DR beta 5 (HLA-DRB5) (Figure 1a; Table 2). To identify susceptibility loci for the bvFTD subtype we analyzed 1,377 cases (Table 1b) and 2,754 controls. Two non-coding SNPs at 11q14, locating to intron 1 of the gene RAB38, member RAS oncogene family (RAB38) (rs302652) and encompassing RAB38 and cathepsin C (CTSC) (rs74977128), passed the genome-wide significance threshold (Figure 1b; Table 2). Similarly we carried out analyses on the other subtypes (Table 1b): 308 SD vs. 616 controls, 269 PNFA vs. 538 controls, and 200 FTD-MND vs. 400 controls. No SNP reached genome-wide significance in either

13 subtype, probably due to a relatively small sample size. However, several SNPs (Supplementary Table S4; webappendix pp 6-26) showed suggestive associations (p-values between 10-6 and 10-7) (Figure 1c-d-e) and deserve further investigation in future screenings. In replication phase we analyzed 1,372 cases (Table 1a) along with 5,094 controls. We evaluated the associated SNPs at 6p21·3 (rs9268877, rs9268856, and rs1980493) in the whole replication cohort with the following results: rs9268856 showed a p-value=1·4x10-2 with OR=0·878, rs1980493 showed a p-value=2·0x10-2 with OR=0·85, and rs9268877 showed a p-value=1·04x10-1 with OR=1·080 (Table 2). The surrogate/proxy SNPs assessed for replication at 11q14 in 690 bvFTD cases revealed the following results: rs302668 showed a p- value=4·1x10-2 with OR=0·877 (r2 [correlation coefficient that indicates the predictive LD between two loci]=0·65) and rs16913634 showed a p-value=7·1x10-1 with OR=0·964 (r2=0·54) (Table 2). Combined analyses of discovery and replication phases revealed genome-wide significant association at 6p21·3 for all SNPs: rs9268877 (p-value=1·05x10-8, OR=1·204), rs9268856 (p-value=5·51x10-9, OR=0·809), and rs1980493 (p-value=1·57x10-8, OR=0·775) (Table 2). Joint p-values of the SNPs at 11q14 only revealed suggestive association for rs302668 (p-value=2·44X10-7, OR= 0·814) (Table 2) possibly because of decreased power due to proxy-based replication (r2=rs302652 to rs302668=0·65).

We then evaluated biological relevance for the novel potential loci in human brain cortex tissues assayed for genome-wide expression and methylation. There was no eQTL in our dataset, however, assessment of the Zeller et al dataset38 revealed a cis-eQTL (p=5·05x10-32, Supplementary Table S5; webappendix pp 27) at 11q14 for rs302652 (chr11:87894881, risk allele T) causing a decreased expression of RAB38 (Illumina ILMN_2134974 located on chr11:87846656-87846705) in monocytes. These data suggest a role in transcriptional processes in –cis for this SNP. Further, we identified significant cis-mQTL at 6p21·3 after multiple test correction for rs1980493 (risk allele T) that associated with changes in the methylation levels related to HLA-DRA in the frontal cortex (p-value=2·17x10-8) (Table 3).

In order to evaluate potential genetic overlap between FTD and closely related forms of neurodegenerative diseases we selected relevant SNPs for candidate loci and analysed them in our dataset. This analysis included published association studies for ALS,39 PSP/CBD,40 AD41 and FTLD-TDP.17 In addition, we assessed whether the two loci identified through this study had also been reported previously in other studies on neurological disorders.

C9orf72 locus (ALS): the SNP rs3849942 (effect allele A) achieved a p-value of 2·12x10-6 and an OR of 1·957 in the FTD-MND subtype consistent with our post hoc analyses (~23% of expansion carriers among this subtype) (Table 4; Supplementary Table S6, webappendix pp 28). Association was modest in bvFTD (p-value=7·38x10-3, OR=1·155) as well as in the entire discovery cohort (p-value=4·38x10-4, OR=1·166), while there was no evidence for association in the SD or PNFA subtypes (Table 4). These results confirm that the C9orf72 locus associates mainly with FTD-MND and to a lesser extent with bvFTD (Supplementary Table S6; webappendix pp 28).

MAPT locus (PSP/CBD): the SNPs rs242557 and rs8070723 (effect alleles G and A respectively)40 reached modest p-values between 10-3 and 10-4 only in the entire cohort, and in the bvFTD and PNFA subtypes (rs8070723 only; Table 4). The effect was small in our study although in the same direction as in the

14

GWAS for progressive supranuclear palsy (5·4640 vs. ~1·2-1·4 [our study]; Table 4). These results reflect the fact that we excluded all known chromosome 17 mutations carriers and that tau pathology is a less common feature of sporadic FTD.

TOMM40/APOE locus (AD): the SNP rs2075650 (effect allele G) reached a p-value of 8·81x10-7 in the entire dataset and 1·37x10-6 in bvFTD, whereas in the SD, PNFA, and FTD-MND subtypes p-values were in the range of 10-1-10-2 (Table 4). Several AD-GWAS reported association with the minor allele of this SNP with OR>2·5,41 whilst in our study the OR was ~1·3 (Table 4). This suggestive association may reflect clinical overlap (~15%) between clinically diagnosed FTD and AD cases.42

TMEM106B locus (FTLD-TDP): we assessed the three associated SNPs reported by Van Deerlin et al.17 (rs1990622, effect allele A; rs6966915, effect allele C; rs1020004, effect allele T). All achieved modest p- values in the entire dataset with lowest p-values in the range of 10-2-10-3 only in the bvFTD subtype (Table 4). The original work17 was performed on autopsy-confirmed FTLD-TDP cases whereas our cohort is mainly clinically defined. In addition, the previous study included a considerable number of GRN mutation carriers which frequently present with bvFTD;17 in our study GRN mutation carriers were excluded. Biochemical evidence has suggested TMEM106B to be directly related to GRN metabolism,13 thus we regard to our data as a limited replication of the original finding.

Finally, the RAB38 locus previously showed suggestive association in multiple sclerosis (MS),43 whilst the HLA locus was reported associating with MS,44,45 Parkinson’s disease (PD)19,46 and AD.47 None of the SNPs reported in these studies, and that were assessed in our dataset (Table 4),43-46 showed association with FTD, probably suggesting that different risk haplotype sub-structures at the same loci associate with distinctive phenotypes.

Discussion Frontotemporal dementia is characterized by a broad range of clinical manifestations, differential pathological signatures and considerable genetic variability implying to complex disease mechanisms.15 In the search for novel disease risk loci associated with FTD we have performed an extensive GWAS on a large cohort of mainly clinically diagnosed FTD samples of European ancestry. It needs to be acknowledged that a number of limitations may apply to this study. Given phenotype heterogeneity in the clinical presentation of FTD and considering that it is a rare neurodegenerative disorder (low prevalence),2 testing the hypothesis “common variant – common disease” for diseases of this kind is challenging and clearly benefits from large sample sizes. In addition, there was an overall need during this work for robust statistical adjustments to correct for potential confounding factors due to population stratification, cases and controls matching and for differences in arrays used to generate genotyping data during the discovery phase. Nevertheless, In addition, based on the nature of this study, our study may indicate association with specific loci without necessarily implying causality; low heritability due to common variability may also apply. However, importantly, the QQ plots and associated lambda values (Supplementary Figure SF1, webappendix pp 4) conformed to GWAS standards, supporting confidence in the final results, eventually.

Our current study included totally more than 3,500 cases and, in this respect, it is the largest GWAS for FTD to date. We have identified two novel potential loci for FTD: 11q14, encompassing RAB38/CTSC was suggestive for the bvFTD subtype, and 6p21·3, encompassing the HLA locus was significant for the entire cohort.

RAB3848 encodes the transmembrane protein RAB38 that is expressed in the thyroid, elements of the immune system, and in the brain (http://www.genecards.org/cgi-bin/carddisp.pl?gene=RAB38; accessed August 2013). From a functional perspective, RAB38 has been shown to mediate protein trafficking to lysosomal-related organelles and maturation of phagosomes.49,50 CTSC is a lysosomal cysteine- proteinase which participates in the activation of serine proteinases in immune/inflammatory cells that are involved in immune and inflammatory processes including phagocytosis of pathogens and local activation and deactivation of inflammatory factors (OMIM: #602365). Of note, the SNP rs302652 at the RAB38/CTSC locus shows an eQTL in monocytes38 associated with decreased expression of RAB38, possibly indicating that a decreased function of RAB38 may be the mechanism by which the association at this locus is mediated. Both RAB38 and CTSC are implicated in lysosomal biology and an association with lysosomal and autophagic processes in FTD was previously suggested in two studies on GRN51 and TMEM106B.52 Interestingly, a role for the autophagy has been also shown in PD.53 Our data will need to be replicated in other FTD cohorts in follow up studies (e.g. fine mapping studies) to support the inference to be made that lysosomal biology and autophagy may be involved in the etiology of FTD.54

The genetic association that we identified with the HLA locus supports the notion of a link between FTD and the immune system. Our mQTL data revealed that risk at this locus significantly associates with cis- changes in methylation levels of HLA-DRA in the frontal cortex. HLA associations have been previously reported in AD,47 PD19,46 as well as classically in MS.44,45 In addition, a general involvement of the innate and the adaptive immune responses has been suggested in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases,55,56 supporting the notion that the immune system plays an important role within the spectrum of neurological disorders.

Our current work represents a foundation for future studies aimed at replicating these results and at shedding light on the functional basis of FTD. In addition, our data indicate that common pathways and processes may underlie different forms of neurodegenerative disorders, including AD, PD, MS and FTD. Exploring the possibility of developing therapeutic measures targeting general damage responses may hold promise, provided further replication and validation, for the development and implementation of treatment options for these neurological disorders, including FTD.

Panel: Research in context

Systematic review The groups participating in this project are all currently active in the research of neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal dementia. To retrieve information on frontotemporal dementia we searched PubMed for the most relevant published work available on this subject as milestone research articles and review articles using the following terms: FTD and genetics, and FTD and review. 1,4,5,8-17,54 We compared our results to a number of previously published genome wide association studies. There

16 was only one directly relevant study that investigated a pathologically defined subtype of FTD (FTLD- TDP).17 The other studies concerned related diseases such as ALS39, AD41,47, PSP/CBD40 , MS43-45 and PD.19,46 In our current study, we analyzed a total of 3,526 (after QC) FTD samples obtained from more than 40 international research groups and we carefully selected those samples eligible for genotyping and those to be included in the analyses to generate our association data. Samples and genotyping data were rigorously filtered through high standard QC steps to assess diagnosis, DNA quality and genotyping output data quality (see Material and Methods section). In this association study all genotyping data have been generated and analyzed within the consortium.

Interpretation This study is the first GWAS on clinical frontotemporal dementia. Given the complexity and heterogeneity of the disease, to date, only three main genes are known to explain a small proportion of cases and, most importantly, not much is known about the mechanisms that influence pathogenesis, i.e. the mechanisms underlying the development of this disorder. Our study suggests that common variability in loci that point to immune processes, and possibly lysosomal biology and autophagy, is involved in the pathobiology of the disease. These findings represent a basis for future replication and functional studies.

*Reply to Reviewers Comments

Reviewer #5: Generally the authors have responded appropriately. A few points remain to be addressed. Thank you

1. Reviewer 5 pt3. It is still not stated clearly why each case had some matched controls identified, since the final analysis was an unmatched analysis that included principal components to adjust for population structure. It seems that the individual matching was only done to allocate controls to the sub-type analysis such that there was no overlap across subtypes. The existing text is not clear enough on this.

We have now revised the text in the “Statistical methods and quality control – Discovery phase” section as follows: “After preliminary quality assessment, PCA as implemented in EIGENSTRAT22 was used to evaluate matching between cases and controls based on all available cases and controls. Custom coding in R was used to match cases to controls. Each subtype (bvFTD, SD, PNFA and FTD- MND) was treated as separate groups in which the two most genetically similar unique controls per case were selected based on eigenvectors 1 and 2. This was carried out to compensate for a lack of precisely matched controls at recruitment / study design. In this aspect, matched controls were unique per case and non-redundant across subtype datasets. Thus, cases and controls were matched for each subtype (bvFTD, SD, PNFA and FTD-MND) based on similarity of the first two eigenvectors from PCA and did not overlap across subtypes. Logistic regression was used based on imputed dosages to assess the association between each SNP and FTD or any of the FTD subtypes, adjusting for eigenvectors 1 and 2 from PCA as covariates. Eigenvectors were generated separately for each subtype, as in the overall sample pool, parameter estimates for the first 2 were associated with case status at p-values < 0·05. Fixed effects meta-analyses were performed to combine results across subtypes and quantify heterogeneity across subtypes.”. We believe to have now addressed this point and thank the reviewer for the opportunity to further clarify this.

2. Reviewer 5 pt8. It is clear that the effect allele is the one to which the OR applies. It is still unclear how the effect allele is chosen. It appears completely random and as such, is useless information.

Initially, the “effect alleles” were chosen based on the reference allele as per 1000 genomes release (August 2010). Now all effects have been flipped to the minor allele, and are as such presented in a revised version of Table 2.

3. The new text has a lot of grammatical errors and does not give the impression that all the authors have read and approved it. Please encourage all the authors, particularly the English speakers, to carefully proof the manuscript before submission.

I have read this through thoroughly “out loud” and I am pretty sure the few clumsy phrases have now been changed

4. P12 L8 what is the "bias" in the NeuroX asrray content?

Bias is towards GWAS hits, rare variants / functional mutations and other risk factors associated with a number of neurodegenerative diseases, as well as rare (MAF < 5%) coding variants (exonic content).

5. P12 L19 "an effort to minimize the limited power of this phase". I don't understand why you would want to minimize power.

This was a typo. We thank for the note. “Maximise” was meant and this has now been revised in the text.

6. P12 L21 not clear why 5 eigenvectors are used in the replication, but only 2 in the discovery.

Five eigenvectors were used in the replication phase due to pooled analysis with no a priori matching; two eigenvectors were used in discovery due to a priori matching of case controls based on preliminary analyses of genetic data.

7. P16 par2 please replace "r-squared" with a scientific notation. Clarify whether these r^2 refer to the imputation quality or the variance in outcome explained by the SNP.

The nomenclature “r-squared” was requested previously by another reviewer. This has now been updated to r2 in the results section and in Table 2. R2 represents the correlation coefficient that indicates the predictive LD between two loci.

8. P18 par2 "...an overall need during this work for robust statistical adjustments..." this is a standard aspect of GWAS and is not a specific limitation of the study, no need for this text. Your limitations relate more to phenotype heterogeneity, low prevalence (and therefore available sample size) and probably low heritability of the forms attributable to common variants.

We thank the reviewer for this point. We have revised this section as follows: “It needs to be acknowledged that a number of limitations may apply to this study. Given phenotype heterogeneity in the clinical presentation of FTD and considering that it is a rare neurodegenerative disorder (low prevalence),2 testing the hypothesis “common variant – common disease” for diseases of this kind is challenging and clearly benefits from large sample sizes. In addition, there was an overall need during this work for robust statistical adjustments to correct for potential confounding factors due to population stratification, cases and controls matching and for differences in arrays used to generate genotyping data during the discovery phase. Nevertheless, In addition, based on the nature of this study, our study may indicate association with specific loci without necessarily implying causality; low heritability due to common variability may also apply. However, importantly, the QQ plots and associated lambda values (Supplementary Figure SF1, webappendix pp 4) conformed to GWAS standards, supporting confidence in the final results, eventually.”
