D 1461, 2018 University of Oulu, P.O. Box 8000, FI-90014 University of Oulu, Finland Abstract Bronchiolitis is an infection of the small airways of the lung and is a common reason for infant hospitalizations. The most common causative pathogen is the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Genetic factors are thought to influence the risk of bronchiolitis, and better knowledge of bronchiolitis genetics will likely help to elucidate the disease process. Severe bronchiolitis in childhood may predispose to asthma. Therefore, an effective treatment of bronchiolitis may affect the present-day as well as lifelong respiratory health. In this project, we aimed to identify genetic loci of bronchiolitis susceptibility by a genome- wide association study (GWAS) and suitable follow-up studies, and to study a previously asthma- associated CDHR3 variant for association across five bronchiolitis populations by meta-analysis. We performed the GWAS on a Finnish-Swedish case-control population and identified several loci below the suggestive genome-wide significance level. Of these, three variants showed nominal associations in a replication population from the Netherlands. One of the loci affected KCND3 expression, and two others were intergenic variants with putative regulatory potential. In a follow-up study conducted on a GWAS sub population, we identified the NKG2D locus as a candidate of susceptibility to bronchiolitis. The genomic region encompassing NKG2D variants was reportedly associated with NKG2D mRNA and protein abundance. We validated the association between NKG2D genotypes and protein expression with flow cytometry. The association between NKG2D and bronchiolitis was supported by a Finnish replication study. The meta-analysis was performed on populations from Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. A potential virus-specific role for the CDHR3 variant was detected in a population that comprised mostly RSV-negative cases. In conclusion, we identified new candidates of bronchiolitis susceptibility in GWAS and subsequent studies. We found the CDHR3 variant was a potential susceptibility factor in severe non-RSV bronchiolitis and asthma. Our preliminary results provide interesting starting points for further studies. In the future, better understanding of the disease mechanisms and the relationship of bronchiolitis and asthma could provide means to design new therapeutic options.

D 1461, 2018 Oulun yliopisto, PL 8000, 90014 Oulun yliopisto Tiivistelmä Bronkioliitti on viruksen aiheuttama alahengitystieinfektio, joka usein johtaa pienten lasten sai- raalahoitoon. Yleisin bronkioliitin aiheuttaja lapsilla on respiratory syncytial -virus (RSV). Perintötekijöiden arvellaan altistavan bronkioliitille, joten uusi tieto altistavista geeneistä voi auttaa ymmärtämään taudin taustalla olevia biologisia mekanismeja. Lapsuusiän bronkioliitin ajatellaan voivan altistaa astmalle, joten bronkioliitin tehokas hoito voi vaikuttaa merkittävästi hengitysterveyteen myös pitkällä aikavälillä. Työssä pyrittiin selvittämään lapsuusajan bronkioliitille altistavia geneettisiä tekijöitä gen- ominlaajuisella assosiaatiokartoituksella, joka toteutettiin suomalais-ruotsalaisessa tapaus-ver- rokkiväestössä. Löydökset pyrittiin varmentamaan soveltuvilla jatkotutkimuksilla. Lisäksi tar- kastelimme astmalle altistavaa CDHR3-geenin polymorfismia viidessä eurooppalaisessa bron- kioliittikohortissa käyttäen meta-analyysia. Assosiaatiokartoituksessa havaittiin useita mahdollisia bronkioliittialttiuteen vaikuttavia gee- nikohtia. Näistä kolme sai tukea hollantilaisessa väestössä tehdyssä assosiaatioanalyysissä, jos- sa testattiin assosiaatiokartoituksen lupaavimmat löydökset. Yksi altistavista polymorfismeista vaikutti KCND3-geenin ilmentymiseen, ja kaksi muuta olivat geenien välisiä, mahdollisesti gee- ninsäätelyyn osallistuvia variantteja. Assosiaatiokartoituksen osa-analyysissä NKG2D tunnistet- tiin mahdolliseksi bronkioliitille altistavaksi geeniksi. NKG2D-immuunireseptorin alentunut ilmentyminen voi tulostemme perusteella altistaa vakavalle bronkioliitille. Meta-analyysissä, jonka tutkimuskohortit olivat peräisin Tanskasta, Suomesta, Ruotsista, Saksasta ja Hollannista, todettiin mahdollinen yhteys CDHR3-geenin polymorfismin ja muun viruksen kuin RSV:n aihe- uttaman bronkioliitin välillä. Toteutimme tässä työssä ensimmäisen genominlaajuisen bronkioliittialttiutta koskevan asso- siaatiokartoituksen. Assosiaatiokartoituksessa, sitä seuranneissa jatkotutkimuksissa ja meta-ana- lyysissä tunnistimme useita lupaavia alttiusgeenejä, mutta tuloksemme vaativat varmentamista suuremmissa tutkimusväestöissä.

Die stetige Identifizierung von neuen Z-Scheiben-lokalisierten Proteinen, sowie deren Relevanz in muskulären Krankheits- bildern, hat die Z-Scheibe zunehmend in den Fokus der aktuellen Forschung gerückt. Neben ihrer strukturgebenden Funktion zeigen neuere Studien, dass die Z-Scheibe ein Hotspot für Signalprozesse in Muskelzellen ist. Bisher gibt es jedoch keine globalen Untersuchungen zur Aufklärung der komplexen Signalwege assoziiert mit dieser Struktur. Um Z-Scheiben-assoziierte Signalprozesse näher zu charakterisieren, wurde im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit eine großangelegte Phosphoproteomstudie mit ausdifferenzierten, kon- trahierenden C2C12 Myotuben durchgeführt. Zu diesem Zweck wurden die tryptisch ver- dauten Proteine mittels SCX-Chromatographie fraktioniert. Die anschließende Phosphopep- tidanreicherung erfolgte mit Titandioxid, gefolgt von einer hochauflösenden massenspek- trometrischen Analyse. Insgesamt wurden 11.369 Phosphorylierungsstellen, darunter 586 in sarkomerischen Proteinen gefunden.

Here we report a multi-ancestry (N = 293,051) genome-wide association meta-analysis for the PR interval, discovering 202 loci of which 141 have not previously been reported. Variants at identified loci increase the percentage of heritability explained, from 33.5% to 62.6%. We observe enrichment for cardiac muscle developmental/contractile and cytoskeletal genes, highlighting key regulation processes for atrioventricular conduction. Additionally, 8 loci not previously reported harbor genes underlying inherited arrhythmic syndromes and/or cardiomyopathies suggesting a role for these genes in cardiovascular pathology in the general population. We show that polygenic predisposition to PR interval duration is an endophenotype for cardiovascular disease, including distal conduction disease, AF, and atrioventricular pre-excitation. These findings advance our understanding of the polygenic basis of cardiac conduction, and the genetic relationship between PR interval duration and cardiovascular disease.
