1 Mapping of genes causing dyslexia susceptibility Clyde Francks Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics University of Oxford Trinity 2001
2 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Mapping of genes causing dyslexia susceptibility Clyde Francks Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics Faculty of Clinical Medicine St. Cross College University of Oxford Trinity 2001 Abstract Developmental dyslexia is defined as a specific impairment in reading ability that cannot be explained by deficits in intelligence, learning opportunity, motivation, or by any obvious neurological or sensory handicap. It is one of the most frequently diagnosed childhood disorders in developed countries. Dyslexia has a complex multifactorial aetiology which is poorly understood, although unidentified genetic factors are known to play an important role. The aim of this study was to identify chromosomal regions containing gene-variants contributing to dyslexia susceptibility, and to begin the fine-scale search of those regions for the functional polymorphisms involved. In view of the phenotypic and genetic complexity of dyslexia, sib-pair based quantitative linkage mapping methods were employed in the first two genome-wide screens for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting reading disability, using 89 families from the UK and 119 families from Colorado. Four-hundred polymorphic microsatellite markers spanning the genome were genotyped for both samples to measure sibling genetic similarities at all loci. The quantitative linkage analysis then tested whether sibling genetic and phenotypic similarities were related at any loci. A simulation-based method was used to obtain unbiased estimates of the significance of linkage results. Three principle genetic loci affecting reading disability emerged from the screens. The chromosome 2p13-16 QTL was identified in the US sample (p= with a word recognition measure), and was concordant with the top locus identified by the only previous genome-wide dyslexia screen, which was performed using a single fourgeneration family. The 6p QTL (UK sample, p= with a nonword reading measure) had previously been identified by targeted studies of this locus using the UK and US samples, and also replicated by other studies. The previously unknown 18p11 QTL was found in both of the genome screen samples (UK sample, p= ; Colorado sample, p=0.0003; word recognition measures). All three loci showed linkage to multiple reading-related measures, and spanned intervals >20 centimorgans, each containing hundreds of genes. For greater positional resolution, the 6p and 2p loci were fine-mapped using microsatellite markers at 1cM spacings to extract as much linkage information as possible, and to perform preliminary family-based quantitative association analysis. However, both intervals remained >10cM. An additional sample of 83 UK families was analyzed at both loci, but linkage was not replicated for either locus. The exons of two candidate genes on 2p13-16 (SEMAW, OTX1) were screened for putative functional polymorphisms, but no polymorphisms were found in either gene that could substantially account for the linkage results. Many candidate genes remain to be tested at both loci. This study was an essential first step towards the identification of gene-variants predisposing to dyslexia, and included the first use of quantitative genome-wide genetic mapping methods for a human cognitive trait.

4 Acknowledgements For conceiving the dyslexia project, for nearly four years of laid back but effective supervision, and for giving me an exciting scientific opportunity, I thank my supervisor Anthony Monaco. For endless intricate discussions and debates, and for tireless and meticulous work in coordinating the genome screens, checking much of the genotype data and working closely with me on many aspects of the project, I thank Simon Fisher. Many thanks too to Angela Marlow, Lon Cardon, Stacey Cherny, Dan Weeks and Goncalo Abecasis for essential statistical and theoretical support, and to Laurence Macphie, Dianne Newbury, Yumiko Ishikawa-Brush, Joanne Smith, Phil Kelley, Helene Rees, Peter Field, Lorne Lonie and Chris Fletcher for helping with the genotyping/snp detection. Thanks too to all of our Oxford collaborators; John Stein, Alex Richardson, Joel Talcott, Kathleen Taylor, Janet Walter, Pam Southcott, Sue Fowler and Chris Clisby for the collection and testing of the UK families, and thanks to John DeFries, Shelley Smith, Richard Olson, Bruce Pennington and Javier Gayan for making the Colorado twin sample available. Raymond Allen, Tim Bardsley, David Smith and Slaven Suba provided essential computer support. All of the families who volunteered for the UK and Colorado studies deserve special thanks. The project was funded by the Wellcome Trust. Prof. Monaco is a Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow, and I was a Wellcome Trust Prize Student. For twenty-seven years of input, for a scientific outlook, and for peaceful weekends in Wales planting potatoes, I thank my parents John and Brigitta Francks, and I dedicate this work to them. Thanks too to Abbie; long may life remain so good. Clyde Francks, June Detail from MICHELANGELO; Last Judgement, , Fresco, Capella Sistina, Vatican.
