Ciuculete et al. Clinical Epigenetics (2020) 12:99 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13148-020-00884-8 RESEARCH Open Access meQTL and ncRNA functional analyses of 102 GWAS-SNPs associated with depression implicate HACE1 and SHANK2 genes Diana M. Ciuculete1* , Sarah Voisin2, Lara Kular3, Jörgen Jonsson1, Mathias Rask-Andersen4, Jessica Mwinyi1 and Helgi B. Schiöth1,5 Abstract Background: Little is known about how genetics and epigenetics interplay in depression. Evidence suggests that genetic variants may change vulnerability to depression by modulating DNA methylation (DNAm) and non-coding RNA (ncRNA) levels. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the genetic variation, previously identified in the largest genome-wide association study for depression, on proximal DNAm and ncRNA levels. Results: We performed DNAm quantitative trait locus (meQTL) analysis in two independent cohorts (total n = 435 healthy individuals), testing associations between 102 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and DNAm levels in whole blood. We identified and replicated 64 SNP-CpG pairs (padj. < 0.05) with meQTL effect. Lower DNAm at cg02098413 located in the HACE1 promoter conferred by the risk allele (C allele) at rs1933802 was associated with higher risk for depression (praw = 0.014, DNAm = 2.3%). In 1202 CD14+ cells sorted from blood, DNAm at cg02088412 positively correlated with HACE1 mRNA expression. Investigation in postmortem brain tissue of adults diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) indicated 1% higher DNAm at cg02098413 in neurons and lower HACE1 mRNA expression in CA1 hippocampus of MDD patients compared with healthy controls (p = 0.008 and 0.012, respectively). Expression QTL analysis in blood of 74 adolescent revealed that hsa-miR-3664-5p was associated with rs7117514 (SHANK2)(padj. -

Integral to this tool are the \seq2gene" and \gene2pathway" components in series that infer a quantitative pathway-level profile for each sample. The seq2gene function assigns phenotype-associated significance of genomic regions to gene-level scores, where the significance could be p-values of SNPs or point mutations, protein-binding affinity, or transcriptional expression level. The seq2gene function has the feasibility to assign non-exon regions to a range of neighboring genes besides the nearest one, thus facilitating the study of functional non-coding elements[2]. Then the gene2pathway summarizes gene-level measurements to pathway-level scores, comparing the quantity of significance for gene members within a pathway with those outside a pathway. -

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. -

Mouse Rab11fip2 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Rab11fip2 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Rab11fip2 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Rab11fip2 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001164367 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000040022 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 19. 5 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TAG stop codon in exon 5 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000171986). Exon 2 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 2 starts from the coding region. Exon 2 covers 33.33% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~443 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

The Genetics of Bipolar Disorder
Molecular Psychiatry (2008) 13, 742–771 & 2008 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 1359-4184/08 $30.00 www.nature.com/mp FEATURE REVIEW The genetics of bipolar disorder: genome ‘hot regions,’ genes, new potential candidates and future directions A Serretti and L Mandelli Institute of Psychiatry, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy Bipolar disorder (BP) is a complex disorder caused by a number of liability genes interacting with the environment. In recent years, a large number of linkage and association studies have been conducted producing an extremely large number of findings often not replicated or partially replicated. Further, results from linkage and association studies are not always easily comparable. Unfortunately, at present a comprehensive coverage of available evidence is still lacking. In the present paper, we summarized results obtained from both linkage and association studies in BP. Further, we indicated new potential interesting genes, located in genome ‘hot regions’ for BP and being expressed in the brain. We reviewed published studies on the subject till December 2007. We precisely localized regions where positive linkage has been found, by the NCBI Map viewer (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/); further, we identified genes located in interesting areas and expressed in the brain, by the Entrez gene, Unigene databases (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/) and Human Protein Reference Database (http://www.hprd.org); these genes could be of interest in future investigations. The review of association studies gave interesting results, as a number of genes seem to be definitively involved in BP, such as SLC6A4, TPH2, DRD4, SLC6A3, DAOA, DTNBP1, NRG1, DISC1 and BDNF. -

Nucleotide Bound to Rab11a Controls Localization in Rod Cells but Not Interaction with Rhodopsin
14854 • The Journal of Neuroscience, November 5, 2014 • 34(45):14854–14863 Cellular/Molecular Nucleotide Bound to rab11a Controls Localization in Rod Cells But Not Interaction with Rhodopsin Nicholas J. Reish,1,2 Evan R. Boitet,1,3 Katie L. Bales,1,3 and XAlecia K. Gross1,2,3 1Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Institute, 2Department of Neurobiology, and 3Department of Vision Sciences, School of Optometry, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama 35294 Precise vectorial transport of rhodopsin is essential for rod photoreceptor health and function. Mutations that truncate or extend the C terminus of rhodopsin disrupt this transport, and lead to retinal degeneration and blindness in human patients and in mouse models. Here we show that such mutations disrupt the binding of rhodopsin to the small GTPase rab11a. The rhodopsin–rab11a interaction is a direct binding interaction that does not depend on the nucleotide binding state of rab11a. Expression of EGFP-rab11a fusion proteins in Xenopus laevis photoreceptors revealed that the nucleotide binding status of rab11a affects its subcellular localization, with GTP-locked mutants concentrated in the inner segment and GDP-locked mutants concentrated in the outer segment. shRNA-mediated knockdown of rab11a in rods led to shortened outer segments and retinal degeneration. Together, our results show the critical importance of direct rhodopsin–rab11a interactions for the formation and maintenance of vertebrate photoreceptors.

Despite the identification of causative mutations in over 70 genes, the molecular aetiology remains unclear. Due to the combination of genetic diversity and variable clinical presentation, the Hereditary Spastic Paraplegias are a strong candidate for protein- protein interaction network analysis as a tool to understand disease mechanism(s) and to aid functional stratification of phenotypes.
