1. Identification Single test for association
9
QUESTION: do people carrying a certain genotype have an increased probability of
having the disease?
Logistic regression
Other variable of interest like ethnicity, age, sex can be added to the model
![Page 9: Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD ...€¦ · Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD) Immune signatures of recovery after surgery (hip replacement)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070809/5f085cd57e708231d421a2fa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. Identification Multiple tests in the same cohort
Test all SNPs for association
independently
Correct for multiple testing
10
Instead of using 0.05 as a threshold for significance divide it by the total number of independent tests (5x10-8 for genome-wide studies)

Non European samples excluded from the analysis
Computed using all samples Computed using controls only
Clear population stratification in the Immunochip datasets First principal components included in the logistic regression model to account for this

1. Identification Meta analysis
14
GOAL: estimate the overall effect of a SNP across multiple cohort
ISSUE: studies with larger sample sizes should be considered more reliable
SOLUTION: weight the effect size in each cohort by the inverse of the variance (roughly proportional to the
sample size)
![Page 14: Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD ...€¦ · Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD) Immune signatures of recovery after surgery (hip replacement)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070809/5f085cd57e708231d421a2fa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1. Identification Results
193 statistically independent signals of association at genome-wide significance (UC, CD and IBD) for a total of 163 regions (71 not previously reported)
15
Explained variance increased from 8.2% to 13.6% for Crohn’s disease and from 4.1 to
7.5% for ulcerative colitis
Lower than 5x10-8
![Page 15: Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD ...€¦ · Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD) Immune signatures of recovery after surgery (hip replacement)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070809/5f085cd57e708231d421a2fa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
2. Gene locus association
16
1. Most associated SNPs are in non-coding regions 2. Only 29 IBD-associated SNPs were in strong linkage disequilibrium disequilibrium with a missense variant
How do we link SNPs to genes?
![Page 16: Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD ...€¦ · Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD) Immune signatures of recovery after surgery (hip replacement)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070809/5f085cd57e708231d421a2fa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Evaluator
Expression Quantitative Trait
Loci
Is the SNP known to affect
gene expression?
Are genes around the locus connected to
other genes in other loci (text-mining)?
Are genes around the loci involved in direct
or indirect protein-protein interaction with genes in other
loci?
![Page 17: Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD ...€¦ · Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD) Immune signatures of recovery after surgery (hip replacement)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070809/5f085cd57e708231d421a2fa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3. Gene/locus annotation Overlap with published results
18
IMD: immune mediated diseases MSMD: Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease PID: Primary Immunodeficiencies (including fungal and bacterial infections)
“Genes implicated in this overlap correlate with reduced levels of circulating T cells (ADA, CD40, TAP1, TAP2, NBN, BLM, DNMT3B) or specific subsets such as Th17, memory, or regulatory T cells”
![Page 18: Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD ...€¦ · Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD) Immune signatures of recovery after surgery (hip replacement)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070809/5f085cd57e708231d421a2fa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3. Gene/locus annotation Selection analysis
19
Do IBD SNPs show signs of selective pressure?
1. Strong overlap with leprosy genes 2. Strong overlap with Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease 3. Infectious organisms known to be agents of natural selection
![Page 19: Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD ...€¦ · Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD) Immune signatures of recovery after surgery (hip replacement)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070809/5f085cd57e708231d421a2fa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3. Gene/locus annotation Selection analysis
the allele frequency is being pushed to one
extreme due to evolutionary pressure favouring the resulting
genotype
20
Both alleles are maintained
![Page 20: Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD ...€¦ · Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD) Immune signatures of recovery after surgery (hip replacement)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070809/5f085cd57e708231d421a2fa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
3. Gene/locus annotation Gene Ontology enrichment
21
* Immune system processes (p = 3.5x10-26) * Regulation of cytokine production (p = 2.7x10-24) * Lymphocyte activation (p = 1.8x10-23) * Response to molecules of bacterial origin (p = 2.4x10-20)
IMD: immune mediated diseases MSMD: Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease PID: Primary Immunodeficiencies (including fungal and bacterial infections)
![Page 21: Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD ...€¦ · Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD) Immune signatures of recovery after surgery (hip replacement)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070809/5f085cd57e708231d421a2fa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
3. Gene/locus annotation Cell type specificity
22
Notably several of these cell types express genes near our IBD associations much more specifically when stimulated
1. Use cell specific expression data to rate how
much a gene is specific to a cell
2. Identify genes in the SNP region
3. Score SNPs based on the percentile of the
most specifically expressed gene in the gene
(for each cell type)
4. Score each cell type by taking the log average
of the cell type score across all IBD SNPs
5. Choose random sets of SNPs to assess
statistical significance
![Page 22: Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD ...€¦ · Genome-wide association study of an immune disease (IBD) Immune signatures of recovery after surgery (hip replacement)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070809/5f085cd57e708231d421a2fa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Take home messages Multiple GWAS studies can be combined to identify stable associations across multiple cohorts
Differences between and within cohorts need to be taken into account Principal Component Analysis
Testing millions of SNPs implies looking for very low p-values because of multiple test (large sample sizes are required)
Many GWAS hits are in non-coding regions
Genetics only explain a portion of the total variance
Multiple strategies exist to validate and characterize identified genes Overlap with known diseases

1. Identification of cell population Hierarchical clustering
29
1. Assign each item to its own cluster 2. Finds the closest (most similar) pair of clusters and merge them into a single cluster 3. Computes distances (similarities) between the new cluster and each of the old clusters 4. Repeats steps 2 and 3 until all items are clustered into a single cluster of size N
Item: single cell Cluster: population of phenotypically similar cells Distance: Euclidian distance based on the expression of all markers (proteins)

Take home messages Gene expression can be used to build modules of correlated genes
These modules can be independently built for LOAD and HD and compared to identify loss or gain of connectivity
Modules differentially connected in LOAD versus HD were enriched for multiple functional categories
Modules differentially connected in LOAD versus HD were correlated with neuropathological traits associated to LOAD
Modules can be rank based on both enrichment and association to relevant traits

Take home messages Gene signatures of diseases can be computed by looking at differentially expressed genes between cases and controls
Disease gene signatures can be compared to drug profiles (connectivity maps)
Drug signatures anti-correlated to disease gene signatures could potentially be used as treatments
Hypotheses needs to be validated in vivo models
