AbstractCopy number variants (CNVs) are associated with syndromic and severe neurological and psychiatric disorders (SNPDs), such as intellectual disability, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Although considered high-impact, CNVs are also observed in the general population. This presents a diagnostic challenge in evaluating their clinical significance. To estimate the phenotypic differences between CNV carriers and non-carriers regarding general health and well-being, we compared the impact of SNPD-associated CNVs on health, cognition, and socioeconomic phenotypes to the impact of three genome-wide polygenic risk score (PRS) in two Finnish cohorts (FINRISK, n = 23,053 and NFBC1966, n = 4895). The focus was on CNV carriers and PRS extremes who do not have an SNPD diagnosis. We identified high-risk CNVs (DECIPHER CNVs, risk gene deletions, or large [>1 Mb] CNVs) in 744 study participants (2.66%), 36 (4.8%) of whom had a diagnosed SNPD. In the remaining 708 unaffected carriers, we observed lower educational attainment (EA; OR = 0.77 [95% CI 0.66–0.89]) and lower household income (OR = 0.77 [0.66–0.89]). Income-associated CNVs also lowered household income (OR = 0.50 [0.38–0.66]), and CNVs with medical consequences lowered subjective health (OR = 0.48 [0.32–0.72]). The impact of PRSs was broader. At the lowest extreme of PRS for EA, we observed lower EA (OR = 0.31 [0.26–0.37]), lower-income (OR = 0.66 [0.57–0.77]), lower subjective health (OR = 0.72 [0.61–0.83]), and increased mortality (Cox’s HR = 1.55 [1.21–1.98]). PRS for intelligence had a similar impact, whereas PRS for schizophrenia did not affect these traits. We conclude that the majority of working-age individuals carrying high-risk CNVs without SNPD diagnosis have a modest impact on morbidity and mortality, as well as the limited impact on income and educational attainment, compared to individuals at the extreme end of common genetic variation. Our findings highlight that the contribution of traditional high-risk variants such as CNVs should be analyzed in a broader genetic context, rather than evaluated in isolation.

The Impact

Abstract Saccharomyces cerevisiae is extensively utilized for commercial fermentation, and is also an important biological model; however, its ecology has only recently begun to be understood. Through the use of whole-genome sequencing, the species has been characterized into a number of distinct subpopulations, defined by geographical ranges and industrial uses. Here, the whole-genome sequences of 104 New Zealand (NZ) S. cerevisiae strains, including 52 novel genomes, are analyzed alongside 450 published sequences derived from various global locations. The impact of S. cerevisiae novel range expansion into NZ was investigated and these analyses reveal the positioning of NZ strains as a subgroup to the predominantly European/wine clade. A number of genomic differences with the European group correlate with range expansion into NZ, including 18 highly enriched single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) and novel Ty1/2 insertions. While it is not possible to categorically determine if any genetic differences are due to stochastic process or the operations of natural selection, we suggest that the observation of NZ-specific copy number increases of four sugar transporter genes in the HXT family may reasonably represent an adaptation in the NZ S. cerevisiae subpopulation, and this correlates with the observations of copy number changes during adaptation in small-scale experimental evolution studies.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to advance the knowledge on the clinical use of SCN1A testing for severe epilepsies within the spectrum of generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus by performing genetic screening in patients with Dravet and Doose syndromes and establishing genotype-phenotype correlations. METHODS: Mutation screening in SCN1A was performed in 15 patients with Dravet syndrome and 13 with Doose syndrome. Eight prediction algorithms were used to analyze the impact of the mutations in putative protein function. Furthermore, all SCN1A mutations previously published were compiled and analyzed. In addition, Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) technique was used to detect possible copy number variations within SCN1A. RESULTS: Twelve mutations were identified in patients with Dravet syndrome, while patients with Doose syndrome showed no mutations. Our results show that the most common type of mutation found is missense, and that they are mostly located in the pore region and the N- and C-terminal of the protein. No copy number variants in SCN1A were identified in our cohort. CONCLUSIONS: SCN1A testing is clinically useful for patients with Dravet syndrome, but not for those with Doose syndrome, since both syndromes do not seem to share the same genetic basis. Our results indicate that indeed missense mutations can cause severe phenotypes depending on its location and the type of amino-acid substitution. Moreover, our strategy for predicting deleterious effect of mutations using multiple computation algorithms was efficient for most of the mutations identified.

AbstractBackgroundNext-generation sequence (NGS) has rapidly developed in past years which makes whole-genome sequencing (WGS) becoming a more cost- and time-efficient choice in wide range of biological researches. We usually focus on some variant detection via WGS data, such as detection of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), insertion and deletion (Indel) and copy number variant (CNV), which playing an important role in many human diseases. However, the feasibility of CNV detection based on WGS by DNBSEQ™ platforms was unclear. We systematically analysed the genome-wide CNV detection power of DNBSEQ™ platforms and Illumina platforms on NA12878 with five commonly used tools, respectively.ResultsDNBSEQ™ platforms showed stable ability to detect slighter more CNVs on genome-wide (average 1.24-fold than Illumina platforms). Then, CNVs based on DNBSEQ™ platforms and Illumina platforms were evaluated with two public benchmarks of NA12878, respectively. DNBSEQ™ and Illumina platforms showed similar sensitivities and precisions on both two benchmarks. Further, the difference between tools for CNV detection was analyzed, and indicated the selection of tool for CNV detection could affected the CNV performance, such as count, distribution, sensitivity and precision.ConclusionThe major contribution of this paper is providing a comprehensive guide for CNV detection based on WGS by DNBSEQ™ platforms for the first time.

AbstractCopy number variants are insertions and deletions of 1 kb or larger in a genome that play an important role in phenotypic changes and human disease. Many software applications have been developed to detect copy number variants using either whole-genome sequencing or whole-exome sequencing data. However, there is poor agreement in the results from these applications. Simulated datasets containing copy number variants allow comprehensive comparisons of the operating characteristics of existing and novel copy number variant detection methods. Several software applications have been developed to simulate copy number variants and other structural variants in whole-genome sequencing data. However, none of the applications reliably simulate copy number variants in whole-exome sequencing data. We have developed and tested SECNVs (Simulator of Exome Copy Number Variants), a fast, robust and customizable software application for simulating copy number variants and whole-exome sequences from a reference genome. SECNVs is easy to install, implements a wide range of commands to customize simulations, can output multiple samples at once, and incorporates a pipeline to output rearranged genomes, short reads and BAM files in a single command. Variants generated by SECNVs are detected with high sensitivity and precision by tools commonly used to detect copy number variants. SECNVs is publicly available at https://github.com/YJulyXing/SECNVs.

AbstractCopy Number Variants (CNVs) are deletions, duplications or insertions larger than 50 base pairs. They account for a large percentage of the normal genome variation and play major roles in human pathology. While array-based approaches have long been used to detect them in clinical practice, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) bears the promise to allow concomitant exploration of CNVs and smaller variants. However, accurately calling CNVs from WGS remains a difficult computational task, for which a consensus is still lacking. In this paper, we explore practical calling options to reach the best compromise between sensitivity and sensibility. We show that callers based on different signal (paired-end reads, split reads, coverage depth) yield complementary results. We suggest approaches combining four selected callers (Manta, Delly, ERDS, CNVnator) and a regenotyping tool (SV2), and show that this is applicable in everyday practice in terms of computation time and further interpretation. We demonstrate the superiority of these approaches over array-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH), specifically regarding the lack of resolution in breakpoint definition and the detection of potentially relevant CNVs. Finally, we confirm our results on the NA12878 benchmark genome, as well as one clinically validated sample. In conclusion, we suggest that WGS constitutes a timely and economically valid alternative to the combination of aCGH and whole-exome sequencing.
