A Genome Model Linking Birth Defects to Infections Bernard Friedenson Deparment of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics College of Medicine University of Illinois Chicago Chicago, Illinois 60612 Abstract The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that infections are linked to chromosomal anomalies that cause neurodevelopmental disorders. In chil- dren with disorders in the development of their nervous systems, chromosome anomalies known to cause these disorders were compared to microbial DNA, including known teratogens. Genes essential for neurons, lymphatic drainage, immunity, circulation, angiogenesis, cell barriers, structure, epigenetic and chro- matin modifications were all found close together in polyfunctional clusters that were deleted or rearranged in neurodevelopmental disorders. In some patients, epigenetic driver mutations also changed access to large chromosome segments. These changes account for immune, circulatory, and structural deficits that ac- company neurologic deficits. Specific and repetitive human DNA encompassing large deletions matched infections and passed rigorous artifact tests. Deletions of up to millions of bases accompanied infection-matching sequences and caused massive changes in the homologies to foreign DNAs. In data from three inde- pendent studies of private, familial and recurrent chromosomal rearrangements, massive changes in homologous microbiomes were found and may drive rear- rangements and encourage pathogens. At least one chromosomal anomaly was found to consist of human DNA fragments with a gap that corresponded to a piece of integrated foreign DNA. Microbial DNAs that match repetitive or spe- cific human DNA segments are thus proposed to interfere with the epigenome and highly active recombination during meiosis, driven by massive changes in the homologous microbiome. Abnormal recombination in gametes produces zygotes containing rare chromosome anomalies which cause neurologic disorders and non-neurologic signs. Neurodevelopmental disorders may be examples of assault on the human genome by foreign DNA at a critical stage. Some infections may be more likely tolerated because they resemble human DNA segments. Further tests of this model await new technology.

Some infection DNA can integrate into human DNA (e.g. retroviruses) and many microbial DNAs can interfere with meiosis because of homologies to sections of human DNA (green stripes below).

Iakoucheva1 Increased risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is attributed to hundreds of genetic loci. The convergence of ASD variants have been investigated using various approaches, including protein interactions extracted from the published literature. However, these datasets are frequently incomplete, carry biases and are limited to interactions of a single splicing isoform, which may not be expressed in the disease-relevant tissue. Here we introduce a new interactome mapping approach by experimentally identifying interactions between brain-expressed alternatively spliced variants of ASD risk factors. The Autism Spliceform Interaction Network reveals that almost half of the detected interactions and about 30% of the newly identified interacting partners represent contribution from splicing variants, emphasizing the importance of isoform networks. Isoform interactions greatly contribute to establishing direct physical connections between proteins from the de novo autism CNVs. Our findings demonstrate the critical role of spliceform networks for translating genetic knowledge into a better understanding of human diseases.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

Key words: SVA, trans-mobilisation, behaviour, brain, evolution, psychiatric disorders 1 Abstract The hominid-specific non-LTR retrotransposon termed SINE–VNTR–Alu (SVA) is the youngest of the transposable elements in the human genome. The propagation of the most ancient SVA type A took place about 13.5 Myrs ago, and the youngest SVA types appeared in the human genome after the chimpanzee divergence. Functional enrichment analysis of genes associated with SVA insertions demonstrated their strong link to multiple ontological categories attributed to brain function and the disorders. SVA types that expanded their presence in the human genome at different stages of hominoid life history were also associated with progressively evolving behavioural features that indicated a potential impact of SVA propagation on a cognitive ability of a modern human.

University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Genomic, proteomic and other experimentally generated data from studies of biological systems aiming to discover disease biomarkers are currently analyzed without sufficient supporting evidence from the literature due to complexities associated with automated processing. Extracting prior knowledge about markers associated with biological sample types and disease states from the literature is tedious, and little research has been performed to understand how to use this knowledge to inform the generation of classification models from ‘omic’ data. Using pathway analysis methods to better understand the underlying biology of complex diseases such as breast and lung cancers is state-of-the-art. However, the problem of how to combine literature- mining evidence with pathway analysis evidence is an open problem in biomedical informatics research.

A role for SOX11 in human developmental disorders was suggested by a recent report of SOX11 mutations in 2 patients with Coffin-Siris syndrome. Here we further investigate the role of SOX11 variants in neurodevelopmental disorders. We identified 6 individuals with chromosome 2p25 deletions involving SOX11. These individuals had non-syndromic intellectual disability with microcephaly, developmental delay and shared dysmorphic features. We next utilised trio exome sequencing to identify 3 novel de novo SOX11 variants. Two of these individuals had a phenotype compatible with Coffin-Siris syndrome while 1 had non-syndromic intellectual disability. The pathogenicity of these mutations was confirmed using an in vitro gene expression system. To further investigate the role of loss of SOX11 in microcephaly we knocked down SOX11 in xenopus. Morphants had significant reduction in head size compared to controls. This suggests that SOX11 loss of function can be associated with microcephaly. We thus propose that SOX11 deletion or mutation can present with either non-syndromic intellectual disability or a Coffin-Siris phenotype. 2 SOX11 deletions and mutations in human developmental disorders Introduction The vertebrate SOX protein family consists of 30 genes [Pillai-Kastoori et al, 2015]. The SOX genes are classified into 8 subfamilies (SOXA-SOXJ) on the basis of sequence similarity.
