    Abstract The approaches to identifying genes and genomic regions associated with human disease can be grouped into two categories: linkage analysis and genetic association analysis. Linkage analysis is useful for diseases of high penetrance that run strongly within families, but is limited in its ability to detect situations where there are multiple genes with smaller effects. An alternative is genetic association studies, which were initially performed on small numbers of candidate genes. This approach identified relatively few genes that were consistently associated with disease, but it is now possible to do a genetic association for the whole genome, making this approach more powerful. In practice, the two types of analysis are often interlinked. This article provides information on the tools needed to perform both genetic linkage and genetic association analysis.

    Abstract INTRODUCTIONThe primary goal of the International Haplotype Map Project has been to develop a haplotype map of the human genome that describes the common patterns of genetic variation, in order to accelerate the search for the genetic causes of human disease. Within the project, ~3.9 million distinct single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been genotyped in 270 individuals from four worldwide populations. The project data are available for unrestricted public use at the HapMap website. This site, which is the primary portal to genotype data produced by the project, offers bulk downloads of the data set, as well as interactive data browsing and analysis tools that are not available elsewhere. Advanced users who wish to exercise fine control over the display of regions of high linkage disequilibrium (LD) or who wish to experiment with new algorithms for tag-SNP picking may wish to analyze HapMap data using the HaploView program. This program works well in combination with the HapMap website genome browser. A big advantage of HaploView over the genome browser is that it displays simultaneous high- and low-power views of regions of LD, and gives immediate feedback during scrolling and zooming operations. This protocol describes the use of HaploView to manipulate HapMap data.

This site, which is the primary portal to genotype data produced by the project, offers bulk downloads of the data set, as well as interactive data browsing and analysis tools that are not available elsewhere. Research into the genetic contributions to a human disease commonly focuses on candidate genes identified from linkage and/or association studies, as well as from pathways suspected to be involved in a particular disease process. In studying candidate genes, a researcher will want to know whether there are any common SNPs in the immediate vicinity, what those SNPs' alleles are, and the relative frequencies of the alleles in the population. The researcher will also be particularly interested in coding SNPs, whose alleles change the amino acid sequence of the gene product and therefore might represent functional variations. This protocol provides details on how to use the genome browser to navigate to and explore HapMap data for a gene or region of interest.

Because of performance considerations, interactive access to HapMap data via the genome browser on the HapMap Web site is limited to regions no more than 5 Mb wide. Researchers who wish to obtain data for chromosome- or genome-wide data have two choices: Bulk download or HapMart access. HapMart, described in this protocol, allows researchers to select SNPs using diverse criteria and to display just those aspects of the data set that they are interested in.

    Abstract Background: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is an age-related somatic mutation associated with incident hematologic cancer. Environmental stressors which, like air pollution, generate oxidative stress at the cellular level, may induce somatic mutations and some mutations may provide a selection advantage for persistence and expansion of specific clones.
    Methods: We used data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) N = 4,379 and the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) N = 7,701 to estimate cross-sectional associations between annual average air pollution concentrations at participant address the year before blood draw using validated spatiotemporal models. We used covariate-adjusted logistic regression to estimate risk of CHIP per interquartile range increases in particulate matter (PM2.5; 4 μg/m3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2; 10 ppb) as ORs (95% confidence intervals).
    Results: Prevalence of CHIP at blood draw (variant allele fraction > 2%) was 4.4% and 8.7% in MESA and WHI, respectively. The most common CHIP driver mutation was in DNMT3A. Neither pollutant was associated with CHIP: ORMESA PM2.5 = 1.00 (0.68-1.45), ORMESA NO2 = 1.05 (0.69-1.61), ORWHI PM2.5 = 0.97 (0.86-1.09), ORWHI NO2 = 0.98 (0.88-1.10); or with DNMT3A-driven CHIP.
    Conclusions: We did not find evidence that air pollution contributes to CHIP prevalence in two large observational cohorts.
    Impact: This is the first study to estimate associations between air pollution and CHIP.

    Abstract Genotype imputation is an integral tool in genome-wide association studies, in which it facilitates meta-analysis, increases power, and enables fine-mapping. With the increasing availability of whole-genome-sequence datasets, investigators have access to a multitude of reference-panel choices for genotype imputation. In principle, combining all sequenced whole genomes into a single large panel would provide the best imputation performance, but this is often cumbersome or impossible due to privacy restrictions. Here, we describe meta-imputation, a method that allows imputation results generated using different reference panels to be combined into a consensus imputed dataset. Our meta-imputation method requires small changes to the output of existing imputation tools to produce necessary inputs, which are then combined using dynamically estimated weights that are tailored to each individual and genome segment. In the scenarios we examined, the method consistently outperforms imputation using a single reference panel and achieves accuracy comparable to imputation using a combined reference panel.

    Abstract Introduction: We sought to examine the genetic overlap between vascular pathologies and Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia, and the potential mediating role of vascular pathologies between AD-related genetic variants and late-life cognition.
    Methods: For 2907 stroke-free older individuals, we examined the association of polygenic risk scores for AD dementia (ADPRSs) with vascular pathologies and with cognition. Mediation analyses addressed whether association between ADPRSs and cognition was mediated by a vascular pathology.
    Results: ADPRSs were associated with lobar cerebral microbleeds, white matter lesion load, and coronary artery calcification, mostly explained by single nucleotide polymorphisms in the 19q13 region. The effect of ADPRSs on cognition was partially but significantly mediated by cerebral microbleeds, white matter lesions, and coronary artery calcification.
    Discussion: Our findings provide evidence for genetic overlap, mostly due to apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene, between vascular pathologies and AD dementia. The association between AD polygenic risk and late-life cognition is mediated in part via effects on vascular pathologies.

    Abstract Exonic variants present some of the strongest links between genotype and phenotype. However, these variants can have significant inter-individual pathogenicity differences, known as variable penetrance. In this study, we propose a model where genetically controlled mRNA splicing modulates the pathogenicity of exonic variants. By first cataloging exonic inclusion from RNA-seq data in GTEx v8, we find that pathogenic alleles are depleted on highly included exons. Using a large-scale phased WGS data from the TOPMed consortium, we observe that this effect may be driven by common splice-regulatory genetic variants, and that natural selection acts on haplotype configurations that reduce the transcript inclusion of putatively pathogenic variants, especially when limiting to haploinsufficient genes. Finally, we test if this effect may be relevant for autism risk using families from the Simons Simplex Collection, but find that splicing of pathogenic alleles has a penetrance reducing effect here as well. Overall, our results indicate that common splice-regulatory variants may play a role in reducing the damaging effects of rare exonic variants.
