Characterization of SETD1A haploinsufficiency in humans and Drosophila defines a novel neurodevelopmental syndrome

Joost Kummeling et al.

Summary: Mutations in histone methyltransferases (HMTs), such as SETD1A, are major contributing factors in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Identifying clinical features of the Mendelian syndrome associated with haploinsufficiency of SETD1A, this study found that individuals with SETD1A variants present with global developmental delay, intellectual disability, facial dysmorphisms, behavioral and psychiatric problems. Patient-derived cell lines with SETD1A variants showed DNA damage repair defects, suggesting these variants act as loss-of-function alleles. The study also revealed the importance of SETD1A in postmitotic neurons for normal memory function in Drosophila melanogaster, indicating a role in post development neuronal processes and cognitive functioning.

Sequencing of 53,831 diverse genomes from the NHLBI TOPMed Program

Daniel Taliun et al.

Summary: The TOPMed program aims to study the genetic architecture and biology of heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these diseases. Resources include a variant browser, genotype imputation server, and genomic and phenotypic data available through dbGaP. The study detected a large number of rare genetic variants, providing insights into mutation processes and recent human evolutionary history.

Genetic architecture of schizophrenia: a review of major advancements

Sophie E. Legge et al.

Summary: Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder with high heritability. Recent research has identified numerous genetic loci associated with the disorder, with genome-wide association studies revealing 176 distinct genetic loci and ongoing studies indicating a total of 270 common genetic loci. Polygenic risk scores can explain a portion of the variance in schizophrenia, and rare variant studies have highlighted specific genetic variants linked to an increased risk of schizophrenia. Gene-set analyses have also shown enrichment of genetic variants related to schizophrenia in synaptic pathways, pointing towards potential new avenues for research and treatment.

CADD-Splice-improving genome-wide variant effect prediction using deep learning-derived splice scores

Philipp Rentzsch et al.

Summary: The study compared several machine learning methods that score variant effects on splicing using an experimental dataset, integrating the best methods into general variant effect prediction models and evaluating the impact on the classification of known pathogenic variants. The inclusion of splicing DNN effect scores substantially improved predictions across multiple variant categories in the new CADD-Splice model, without compromising overall performance.

SETD1A Mediated H3K4 Methylation and Its Role in Neurodevelopmental and Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Shan Wang et al.

Summary: Posttranslational modification of histones and related gene regulation play a crucial role in neurological disorders, with SETD1A influencing gene expression through H3K4 methylation. Variants in SETD1A have been linked to developmental delay, intellectual disability, and schizophrenia. Mouse models of SETD1A dysfunction mimic key behavioral features associated with these disorders, indicating disrupted synaptic and neuronal network function.

Novel ultra-rare exonic variants identified in a founder population implicate cadherins in schizophrenia

Todd Lencz et al.

Summary: Identification of rare variants associated with schizophrenia is challenging due to genetic heterogeneity, but in the Ashkenazi Jewish population, cases were found to have a higher frequency of novel MisLoF URVs compared to controls. The burden of MisLoF URVs was inversely correlated with polygenic risk scores in cases. The cadherin gene set was associated with schizophrenia, with a recurrent case mutation in PCDHA3 being linked to cytoplasmic aggregation formation.

jMorp updates in 2020: large enhancement of multi-omics data resources on the general Japanese population

Shu Tadaka et al.

Summary: The Tohoku Medical Megabank project conducted genome and omics analyses on participants from two cohort studies, resulting in the creation of jMorp, a web-based database providing genome, methylome, transcriptome, and metabolome data. This resource, which includes Japanese reference sequences and allele frequencies, as well as concentration distributions of over 755 metabolites, will aid in the discovery of disease biomarkers and personalized disease prevention and early diagnosis in the general population.
