1 Structural Variants and Susceptibility Genetic Causes of Disease Lab Genes and Disease Program Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) Barcelona 1 Complex genetic diseases Changes in prevalence (>10 fold) 2 Genome variability is behind the biological differences in health and disease 3 1

2 Genetic basis of complex genetic diseases Common disease common variant (No more than 5% of susceptibility to disease) Rare alleles of major effect (Rare variants with frequencies <0.01 can cause disease) Infinitesimal model (Hundreds or thousands of variants can cause disease) 4 Genome wide association studies Successful identification of genetics associations for common disorders Several successful GWA studies performed Robust and replicated associations detected Proof of concept that SNP genotyping works! Modest genetics effects with odd ratios <1.5 Finding do not explain the strong heritability Variants are not the functional ones Absence of epistasis between variants 5 Human genome variation 6 2

3 ( ) Description of copy number variation of the α-globin genes by Kan and co-workers Genomic rearrangements are identified as the mutational mechanism that leads to Charcot- Marie-Tooth disease type 1A Identification that a large subset of SNPs are paralogous sequence variants (PSVs) and define regions of structural variability Interrogation of genomic variability by array hybridization methods demonstrated the existence of copy number variants (CNVs) Redon et al. identified 1,447 copy number variable regions showing that at least 12% of the human genome contains CNVs 7 Type of structural variants Duplication nsequences 20,000 CNVs >6,000 CNV loci Del 7 Chr7 Test Control Functional co Structural variations involve between 5% and 10% of the human genome sequence Estivill and Armengol, PloS Genetics, October copies 12 cop es Common Rare invers on 8 9 3
