Abstract Whereas 16p11.2 BP4-5 copy-number variants (CNVs) represent one of the most pleiotropic etiologies genomic syndromes in both clinical and population cohorts, mechanisms leading to such pleiotropy remain understudied. Identifying 73 deletion 89 duplication carriers among unrelated white British UK Biobank participants, we performed a phenome-wide association study between region’s copy number 117 complex traits diseases, mimicking four dosage models. Forty-six phenotypes (39%) were affected by CNVs, with deletion-only, mirror, U-shape, duplication-only models being best fit for thirty, ten, four, two phenotypes, respectively, aligning stronger deleteriousness deletion. Upon individually adjusting CNV effects either body mass index (BMI), height, cognitive function, or socio-economic status as potential mediators, found that sixteen testable deletion-driven associations (61%) – primarily cardiovascular metabolic BMI-dependent, other mediators playing more subtle role. Bidirectional Mendelian randomization supported 13 out these 16 (81%) secondary consequences CNV’s impact on BMI. For 22 remained significantly associated upon individual adjustment matched-control analyses eleven including musculoskeletal traits, liver enzymes, fluid intelligence, platelet count, pulmonary capacity, pneumonia, acute kidney injury, under strict Bonferroni correction, eight additional nominally significant associations. These results paint picture BP4-5’s pattern involves direct multiple physiological systems indirect co-morbidities consequential BMI cognition, acting through trait-specific mechanisms.

In GWAS plasma levels 2,923 proteins in 3,974 Chinese adults, we identified pQTLs for 1,784 proteins, including 1,312 cis -pQTLs 1,264 proteins. Fine-mapping 3,475 credible sets independent pQTLs, 36% which were distinct from those European adults as assessed by three different methods. phenome-wide MR analyses, 59 disease associations strong LD (r 2 >0.95) with a -pQTL sentinel variant, 26 evidence colocalisation (PP.H4>0.9) 34 not previous similar studies.

Structural variants (SVs) over 50 base pairs play a significant role in phenotypic diversity and are associated with various diseases, but their analysis is complex resource-intensive. Numerous computational tools have been developed for SV prioritization, yet effectiveness biomedicine remains unclear. Here we benchmarked eight widely used prioritization tools, categorized into knowledge-driven (AnnotSV, ClassifyCNV) data-driven (CADD-SV, dbCNV, StrVCTVRE, SVScore, TADA, XCNV) groups accordance the ACMG guidelines. We assessed accuracy, robustness, usability across diverse genomic contexts, biological mechanisms efficiency using seven carefully curated independent datasets. Our results revealed that both of methods exhibit comparable predicting pathogenicity, although performance varies among emphasizing importance selecting appropriate tool based on specific research purposes. Furthermore, pinpointed potential improvement expanding these future applications. benchmarking framework provides crucial evaluation method offering practical guidance biomedical facilitating advancement better tools.

Abstract Copy number variants (CNVs) are prevalent in both diploid and haploid genomes, with the latter containing a single copy of each gene. Studying CNVs genomes from or few cells is significantly advancing our knowledge human disorders disease susceptibility. Low-input including low-cell single-cell sequencing data for organisms generally displays shallow highly non-uniform read counts resulting whole genome amplification steps that introduce biases. In addition, typically possess relatively short require higher degree DNA compared to organisms. However, most CNV detection methods specifically developed without specific consideration effects on genomes. Challenges also reside reference samples normal controls which used provide baseline signals defining losses gains. traditional methods, references usually pre-specified assumed be disease-free. use pre-defined can bias results if common present. Here, we present development comprehensive statistical framework normalization single- called HapCNV.

Abstract Copy number variants (CNVs) are pivotal in driving phenotypic variation that facilitates species adaptation. They significant contributors to various disorders, making ancient genomes crucial for uncovering the genetic origins of disease susceptibility across populations. However, detecting CNVs DNA samples poses substantial challenges due several factors. Ancient (aDNA) is often highly degraded, and this degradation further complicated by contamination from microbial closely related species, introducing additional noise into sequencing data. Finally, typically low coverage aDNA renders accurate CNV detection particularly difficult. Conventional calling algorithms, optimized high long reads, underperform such conditions. To address these limitations, we introduce LYCEUM, a deep learning-based caller specifically designed low-coverage aDNA. LYCEUM performs transfer learning model detect another noisy data domain, whole exome then it fine-tuning with few which semi-ground truth calls available. Our findings demonstrate accurately identifies even downsampled genomes, maintaining robust performance range levels. Thus, offers researchers reliable solution challenging genomic datasets. available at https://github.com/ciceklab/LYCEUM
