Previously, pathogenic SZT2 and KPTN variants have been associated with autosomal recessive intellectual disability and epileptic encephalopathy. We identified bi-allelic KICS2 variants in eleven affected individuals presenting with intellectual disability and epilepsy. These variants partly affected KICS2 stability, compromised KICSTOR complex formation, and demonstrated a deleterious impact on nutrient-dependent mTORC1 regulation of 4EBP1 and S6K. Phosphoproteome analyses extended these findings to show that KICS2 variants changed the mTORC1 proteome, affecting proteins that function in translation, splicing, and ciliogenesis. Depletion of Kics2 in zebrafish resulted in ciliary dysfunction consistent with a role of mTORC1 in cilia biology. These in vitro and in vivo functional studies confirmed the pathogenicity of identified KICS2 variants. Our genetic and experimental data provide evidence that variants in KICS2 are a factor involved in intellectual disability due to its dysfunction impacting mTORC1 regulation and cilia biology.","PeriodicalId":7659,"journal":{"name":"American journal of human genetics","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142989722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We systematically characterized genetic alterations within protein domains stratified by affected individual's age and showed that the mutational effects on domains varied with age. We further identified potential age-associated driver genes with hotspots across 33 cancers. The candidate drivers involved numerous cancer-related genes that participate in various oncogenic pathways and play central roles in human protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. We found widespread age biases in protein domains and identified the associations between hotspots and age. Age-stratified PPI networks perturbed by hotspots were constructed to illustrate the function of mutations enriched in domains. We found that hotspots in young adults were associated with premature senescence. In summary, we provided a catalog of age-associated hotspots and their perturbed networks, which may facilitate precision diagnostics and treatments for cancer.</p>","PeriodicalId":7659,"journal":{"name":"American journal of human genetics","volume":" ","pages":"44-58"},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11739924/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142871114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Molecular proxies of these traits may also provide a more objective approach to their measurement. Here, DNA methylation (DNAm) data were used in epigenome-wide association studies (EWASs) and for training epigenetic scores (EpiScores) of six metabolic traits: body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, waist-hip ratio, and blood-based measures of glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and total cholesterol in >17,000 volunteers from the Generation Scotland (GS) cohort. We observed a maximum of 12,033 significant findings (p < 3.6 × 10<sup>-8</sup>) for BMI in a marginal linear regression EWAS. By contrast, a joint and conditional Bayesian penalized regression approach yielded 27 high-confidence associations with BMI. EpiScores trained in GS performed well in both Scottish and Singaporean test cohorts (Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 [LBC1936] and Health for Life in Singapore [HELIOS]). The EpiScores for BMI and total cholesterol performed best in HELIOS, explaining 20.8% and 7.1% of the variance in the measured traits, respectively. The corresponding results in LBC1936 were 14.4% and 3.2%, respectively. Differences were observed in HELIOS for body fat, where the EpiScore explained ∼9% of the variance in Chinese and Malay -subgroups but ∼3% in the Indian subgroup. The EpiScores also correlated with cognitive function in LBC1936 (standardized β<sub>range</sub>: 0.08-0.12, false discovery rate p [p<sub>FDR</sub>] < 0.05). Accounting for the correlation structure across the methylome can vastly affect the number of lead findings in EWASs. The EpiScores of metabolic traits are broadly applicable across populations and can reflect differences in cognition.</p>","PeriodicalId":7659,"journal":{"name":"American journal of human genetics","volume":" ","pages":"106-115"},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11739919/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142871107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
