Abstract
The integration of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) with disease genome-wide association studies (GWASs) has proven successful in prioritizing candidate genes at disease-associated loci. QTL mapping has been focused on multi-tissue expression QTLs or plasma protein QTLs (pQTLs). We generated a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pQTL atlas by measuring 6,361 proteins in 3,506 samples. We identified 3,885 associations for 1,883 proteins, including 2,885 new pQTLs, demonstrating unique genetic regulation in CSF. We identified CSF-enriched pleiotropic regions on chromosome (chr)3q28 near OSTN and chr19q13.32 near APOE that were enriched for neuron specificity and neurological development. We integrated our associations with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) through proteome-wide association study (PWAS), colocalization and Mendelian randomization and identified 38 putative causal proteins, 15 of which have drugs available. Finally, we developed a proteomics-based AD prediction model that outperforms genetics-based models. These findings will be instrumental to further understand the biology and identify causal and druggable proteins for brain and neurological traits. Proteogenomic analysis of human cerebrospinal fluid by measuring 6,361 proteins in 3,506 individuals identifies new protein QTLs and highlights genetic regulation involved in neurological processes.
期刊介绍:
Nature Genetics publishes the very highest quality research in genetics. It encompasses genetic and functional genomic studies on human and plant traits and on other model organisms. Current emphasis is on the genetic basis for common and complex diseases and on the functional mechanism, architecture and evolution of gene networks, studied by experimental perturbation.
Integrative genetic topics comprise, but are not limited to:
-Genes in the pathology of human disease
-Molecular analysis of simple and complex genetic traits
-Cancer genetics
-Agricultural genomics
-Developmental genetics
-Regulatory variation in gene expression
-Strategies and technologies for extracting function from genomic data
-Pharmacological genomics
-Genome evolution
