Homozygous Deletion of Six Olfactory Receptor Genes in a Subset of Individuals with Beta-Thalassemia
Homozygous Deletion of Six Olfactory Receptor Genes in a Subset of Individuals with Beta-Thalassemia Jessica Van Ziffle, Wendy Yang, Farid F. Chehab* Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States of America Abstract Progress in the functional studies of human olfactory receptors has been largely hampered by the lack of a reliable experimental model system. Although transgenic approaches in mice could characterize the function of individual olfactory receptors, the presence of over 300 functional genes in the human genome becomes a daunting task. Thus, the characterization of individuals with a genetic susceptibility to altered olfaction coupled with the absence of particular olfactory receptor genes will allow phenotype/genotype correlations and vindicate the function of specific olfactory receptors with their cognate ligands. We characterized a 118 kb b-globin deletion and found that its 39 end breakpoint extends to the neighboring olfactory receptor region downstream of the b-globin gene cluster. This deletion encompasses six contiguous olfactory receptor genes (OR51V1, OR52Z1, OR51A1P, OR52A1, OR52A5, and OR52A4) all of which are expressed in the brain. Topology analysis of the encoded proteins from these olfactory receptor genes revealed that OR52Z1, OR52A1, OR52A5, and OR52A4 are predicted to be functional receptors as they display integral characteristics of G- proteins coupled receptors. Individuals homozygous for the 118 kb b-globin deletion are afflicted with b-thalassemia due to a homozygous deletion of the b-globin gene and have no alleles for the above mentioned olfactory receptors genes. This is the first example of a homozygous deletion of olfactory receptor genes in human. -

To address this issue, we sequenced the OR repertoire in 332 individuals and examined the relationship between genetic variation and 276 olfactory phenotypes, including the perceived intensity and pleasantness of 68 odorants at two concentrations, detection thresholds of three odorants, and general olfactory acuity. -

Supplementary Methods
Heterogeneous Contribution of Microdeletions in the Development of Common Generalized and Focal epilepsies. SUPPLEMENTARY METHODS Epilepsy subtype extended description. Genetic Gereralized Epilepsy (GGE): Features unprovoked tonic and/or clonic seizures, originated inconsistently at some focal point within the brain that rapidly generalizes engaging bilateral distributed spikes and waves discharges on the electroencephalogram. This generalization can include cortical and sub cortical structures but not necessarily the entire cortex[1]. GGE is the most common group of epilepsies accounting for 20% of all cases[2]. It is characterized by an age-related onset and a strong familial aggregation and heritability which allows the assumption of a genetic cause. Although genetic associations have been identified, a broad spectrum of causes is acknowledged and remains largely unsolved [3]. Rolandic Epilepsy (RE): Commonly known also as Benign Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes (BECTS), hallmarks early onset diagnosis (mean onset = 7 years old) with brief, focal hemifacial or oropharyngeal sensorimotor seizures alongside speech arrest and secondarily generalized tonic– clonic seizures, which mainly occur during sleep[4]. Rolandic epilepsy features a broad spectrum of less benign related syndromes called atypical Rolandic epilepsy (ARE), including benign partial epilepsy (ABPE), Landau–Kleffner syndrome(LKS) and epileptic encephalopathy with continuous spike-and-waves during sleep (CSWSS)[5]. Together they are the most common childhood epilepsy with a prevalence of 0.2–0.73/1000 (i.e. _1/2500)[6]. Adult Focal Epilepsy (AFE). Focal epilepsy is characterized by sporadic events of seizures originated within a specific brain region and restricted to one hemisphere. Although they can exhibit more than one network of wave discharges on the electroencephalogram, and different degrees of spreading, they feature a consistent site of origin. -

The Mutational Landscape of Human Olfactory G Protein-Coupled Receptors
Jimenez et al. BMC Biology (2021) 19:21 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-021-00962-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The mutational landscape of human olfactory G protein-coupled receptors Ramón Cierco Jimenez1,2, Nil Casajuana-Martin1, Adrián García-Recio1, Lidia Alcántara1, Leonardo Pardo1, Mercedes Campillo1 and Angel Gonzalez1* Abstract Background: Olfactory receptors (ORs) constitute a large family of sensory proteins that enable us to recognize a wide range of chemical volatiles in the environment. By contrast to the extensive information about human olfactory thresholds for thousands of odorants, studies of the genetic influence on olfaction are limited to a few examples. To annotate on a broad scale the impact of mutations at the structural level, here we analyzed a compendium of 119,069 natural variants in human ORs collected from the public domain. Results: OR mutations were categorized depending on their genomic and protein contexts, as well as their frequency of occurrence in several human populations. Functional interpretation of the natural changes was estimated from the increasing knowledge of the structure and function of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family, to which ORs belong. Our analysis reveals an extraordinary diversity of natural variations in the olfactory gene repertoire between individuals and populations, with a significant number of changes occurring at the structurally conserved regions. A particular attention is paid to mutations in positions linked to the conserved GPCR activation mechanism that could imply phenotypic variation in the olfactory perception. An interactive web application (hORMdb, Human Olfactory Receptor Mutation Database) was developed for the management and visualization of this mutational dataset. -

However, the ORs linked to specific olfactory percepts are unknown, unlike in vision or taste where receptors are linked to perception of different colors and tastes. The large family of ORs (~400) and multiple receptors activated by an odorant present serious challenges. Here, we first use machine learning to screen ~0.5 million compounds for new ligands and identify enriched structural motifs for ligands of 34 human ORs. We next demonstrate that the activity of ORs successfully predicts many of the 146 different perceptual qualities of chem- icals. Although chemical features have been used to model odor percepts, we show that biologically relevant OR activity is often superior. -

Epigenetic Mechanisms Are Involved in the Oncogenic Properties of ZNF518B in Colorectal Cancer
Epigenetic mechanisms are involved in the oncogenic properties of ZNF518B in colorectal cancer Francisco Gimeno-Valiente, Ángela L. Riffo-Campos, Luis Torres, Noelia Tarazona, Valentina Gambardella, Andrés Cervantes, Gerardo López-Rodas, Luis Franco and Josefa Castillo SUPPLEMENTARY METHODS 1. Selection of genomic sequences for ChIP analysis To select the sequences for ChIP analysis in the five putative target genes, namely, PADI3, ZDHHC2, RGS4, EFNA5 and KAT2B, the genomic region corresponding to the gene was downloaded from Ensembl. Then, zoom was applied to see in detail the promoter, enhancers and regulatory sequences. The details for HCT116 cells were then recovered and the target sequences for factor binding examined. Obviously, there are not data for ZNF518B, but special attention was paid to the target sequences of other zinc-finger containing factors. Finally, the regions that may putatively bind ZNF518B were selected and primers defining amplicons spanning such sequences were searched out. Supplementary Figure S3 gives the location of the amplicons used in each gene. 2.

Genetic Characterization of Greek Population Isolates Reveals Strong Genetic Drift at Missense and Trait-Associated Variants

Here we genotype 2,296 samples from two isolated Greek populations, the Pomak villages (HELIC-Pomak) in the North of Greece and the Mylopotamos villages (HELIC-MANOLIS) in Crete. We compare their genomic characteristics to the general Greek population and establish them as genetic isolates. In the MANOLIS cohort, we observe an enrichment of missense variants among the variants that have drifted up in frequency by more than fivefold. In the Pomak cohort, we find novel associations at variants on chr11p15.4 showing large allele frequency increases (from 0.2% in the general Greek population to 4.6% in the isolate) with haematological traits, for example, with mean corpuscular volume (rs7116019, P ¼ 2.3 Â 10 À 26). We replicate this association in a second set of Pomak samples (combined P ¼ 2.0 Â 10 À 36).
