    Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has an estimated heritability of nearly 50%, which is particularly high in seropositive RA. HLA alleles account for a large proportion of this heritability, in addition to many common single-nucleotide polymorphisms with smaller individual effects. Low-frequency and rare variants, such as those captured by next-generation sequencing, can also have a large role in heritability in some individuals. Rare variant discovery has informed the development of drugs such as inhibitors of PCSK9 and Janus kinases. Some 34 low-frequency and rare variants are currently associated with RA risk. One variant (19:10352442G>C in TYK2) was identified in five separate studies, and might therefore represent a promising therapeutic target. Following a set of best practices in future studies, including studying diverse populations, using large sample sizes, validating RA and serostatus, replicating findings, adjusting for other variants and performing functional assessment, could help to ensure the relevance of identified variants. Exciting opportunities are now on the horizon for genetics in RA, including larger datasets and consortia, whole-genome sequencing and direct applications of findings in the management, and especially treatment, of RA.

    Abstract Autoimmune disease heritability is enriched in T cell-specific regulatory regions of the genome. Modern-day T cell datasets now enable association studies between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and a myriad of molecular phenotypes, including chromatin accessibility, gene expression, transcriptional programs, T cell antigen receptor (TCR) amino acid usage, and cell state abundances. Such studies have identified hundreds of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in T cells that colocalize with genetic risk for autoimmune disease. The key challenge facing immunologists today lies in synthesizing these results toward a unified understanding of the autoimmune T cell: which genes, cell states, and antigens drive tissue destruction?

    Abstract Prioritizing disease-critical cell types by integrating genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with functional data is a fundamental goal. Single-cell chromatin accessibility (scATAC-seq) and gene expression (scRNA-seq) have characterized cell types at high resolution, and studies integrating GWAS with scRNA-seq have shown promise, but studies integrating GWAS with scATAC-seq have been limited. Here, we identify disease-critical fetal and adult brain cell types by integrating GWAS summary statistics from 28 brain-related diseases/traits (average N = 298 K) with 3.2 million scATAC-seq and scRNA-seq profiles from 83 cell types. We identified disease-critical fetal (respectively adult) brain cell types for 22 (respectively 23) of 28 traits using scATAC-seq, and for 8 (respectively 17) of 28 traits using scRNA-seq. Significant scATAC-seq enrichments included fetal photoreceptor cells for major depressive disorder, fetal ganglion cells for BMI, fetal astrocytes for ADHD, and adult VGLUT2 excitatory neurons for schizophrenia. Our findings improve our understanding of brain-related diseases/traits and inform future analyses.

    Abstract T cell differentiation depends on activation through the T cell receptor (TCR), whose amino acid sequence varies cell to cell. Particular TCR amino acid sequences nearly guarantee Mucosal-Associated Invariant T (MAIT) and Natural Killer T (NKT) cell fates. To comprehensively define how TCR amino acids affects all T cell fates, we analyze the paired αβTCR sequence and transcriptome of 819,772 single cells. We find that hydrophobic CDR3 residues promote regulatory T cell transcriptional states in both the CD8 and CD4 lineages. Most strikingly, we find a set of TCR sequence features, concentrated in CDR2α, that promotes positive selection in the thymus as well as transition from naïve to memory in the periphery. Even among T cells that recognize the same antigen, these TCR sequence features help to explain which T cells form immunological memory, which is essential for effective pathogen response.

    Abstract Recent advancements in single-cell technologies have enabled expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis across many individuals at single-cell resolution. Compared with bulk RNA sequencing, which averages gene expression across cell types and cell states, single-cell assays capture the transcriptional states of individual cells, including fine-grained, transient, and difficult-to-isolate populations at unprecedented scale and resolution. Single-cell eQTL (sc-eQTL) mapping can identify context-dependent eQTLs that vary with cell states, including some that colocalize with disease variants identified in genome-wide association studies. By uncovering the precise contexts in which these eQTLs act, single-cell approaches can unveil previously hidden regulatory effects and pinpoint important cell states underlying molecular mechanisms of disease. Here, we present an overview of recently deployed experimental designs in sc-eQTL studies. In the process, we consider the influence of study design choices such as cohort, cell states, and ex vivo perturbations. We then discuss current methodologies, modeling approaches, and technical challenges as well as future opportunities and applications.

    Abstract The Accelerating Medicines Partnership (AMP) SLE Network united resources from academic centers, government, nonprofit, and industry to accelerate discovery in lupus nephritis (LN). The AMP SLE Network developed a set of protocols for high-throughput analyses to systematically study kidney tissue, urine, and blood in LN. This article summarizes approaches and results from phase 1 of AMP SLE Network effort, including single cell RNA-seq analysis of LN kidney biopsies, cellular and proteomic studies of LN urine, and mass cytometry immunophenotyping of blood cells. This work provides a framework to guide studies of the clinical implications of active cellular/molecular pathways in LN.

    Abstract Single-cell genomic technologies are revealing the cellular composition, identities and states in tissues at unprecedented resolution. They have now scaled to the point that it is possible to query samples at the population level, across thousands of individuals. Combining single-cell information with genotype data at this scale provides opportunities to link genetic variation to the cellular processes underpinning key aspects of human biology and disease. This strategy has potential implications for disease diagnosis, risk prediction and development of therapeutic solutions. But, effectively integrating large-scale single-cell genomic data, genetic variation and additional phenotypic data will require advances in data generation and analysis methods. As single-cell genetics begins to emerge as a field in its own right, we review its current state and the challenges and opportunities ahead.

    Abstract Summary: Fine-mapping human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes involved in disease susceptibility to individual alleles or amino acid residues has been challenging. Using information regarding HLA alleles obtained from HLA typing, HLA imputation or HLA inference, our software expands the alleles to amino acid sequences using the most recent IMGT/HLA database and prepares a dataset suitable for fine-mapping analysis. Our software also provides useful functionalities, such as various association tests, visualization tools and nomenclature conversion.

    Abstract Advances in genotyping and sequencing technologies have revolutionized the genetics of complex disease by locating rare and common variants that influence an individual's risk for diseases, such as diabetes, cancers, and psychiatric disorders. However, to capitalize on these data for prevention and therapies requires the identification of causal alleles and a mechanistic understanding for how these variants contribute to the disease. After discussing the strategies currently used to map variants for complex diseases, this Primer explores how variants may be prioritized for follow-up functional studies and the challenges and approaches for assessing the contributions of rare and common variants to disease phenotypes.
