INFERRING HAPLOTYPES OF COPY NUMBER VARIATIONS Mamoru Kato Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, USA
Background • 2003 – The complete sequence of the human genome was released by International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium. • coverage ~99%; accuracy >99.99% • However, this complete sequence is an “average” sequence (derived from the DNA samples of multiple individuals). • Little information on variation/polymorphism in the sequence among multiple individuals
Background • The International HapMap Project started after the Human Genome Project to address variation/polymorphism in human sequences • Focused on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)– the simplest polymorphism • Catalogued SNP genotypes for 270 individuals in three ethnical populations (Asian, African, European) at 3 million SNP loci • Medical application as well as biological investigation • 2005 – The Phase I was published. • 2007 – The Phase II was published.
Background • An achievement in the HapMap Project • Linkage disequilibrium (LD) • LD – statistical association between different loci • Promotes genome-wide disease association studies LD LD • Genome-wide association studies • Find SNPs associated with a disease on the genomic scale • Many diseases: diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, myocardial infarction, Crohn's disease, ... SNP SNP SNP
Background • When the HapMap Project was ongoing, a more complex type of genetic variation than SNP had been recognized. • 2004 Copy number variation (Sebat et al; Iafrate et al) • By microarrays • Until then, this variation was believed to be rare in normal individuals • 2005 Inversion (Stefansson et al) • These variations are collectively called structural variations.
Structural Variations • Structural variation – variation with a long length • Variation in which sequence segments >1 kb in size are involved Copy Number Variation Inversion >1 kb (from father) Homologous chromosome Individual 1 Homologous chromosome (from mother) Homologous chromosome Individual 2 Homologous chromosome Translocation Homologous chromosome Individual 3 Homologous chromosome
Copy Number Variation • Copy Number Variation (CNV) • The simplest type of structural variation • Difference in the number of copies >1 kb CNV represented by a reference genome CNV CNV segment CNV region >1 kb
CNV • Since the studies in 2004, many studies have been performed on the genomic scale for many individuals. • CNV regions cover 4-6% of the human genome • 3,000-6,000 regions • cf. Common SNPs: 0.3% in coverage, 10 million in number • CNV regions often include entire genes and their regulatory regions. • e.g., CCL3L1 gene – HIV • CNVs are likely to influence human phenotypes such as disease susceptibility. • Autoimmunity, autism, psoriasis, schizophrenia, ...
CNV • The principle of CNV detection • by microarrays and quantitative PCR (excl. pair-end mapping)
Problem • These techniques cannot discern the configurations of genotypes (pairs of alleles) of CNV Allele: copy number 1 As total number 3 Allele: copy number 2 As total number3 Allele: copy number0 Allele: copy number3
Problem These techniques cannot discern the configurations of genotypes (pairs of alleles) of CNV (# A, # G) = (2, 1) Allele: G Allele: A, A (# A, # G) = (2, 1) Allele: A Allele: G, A
Problem • This is problematic –most theories in population genetics are constructed based on alleles (or haplotypes), not on the total numbers. • Population differentiation Frequencies of alleles (haplotypes) in a population • Linkage disequilibrium
Problem • Some method is required to get information on alleles/haplotypes from observed data • Haplotype inference for CNVs • It handles • >50 individuals • One locus to the genomic level
Haplotype Inference for CNVs • Deterministic approach (Redon et al, 2006; McCarroll et al, 2006; Hinds et al, 2006) • One state from observed data • Statistical approach (Kato et al, 2008; Kato et al, 2008; Shindo et al, 2009) • Multiple states from observed data
Deterministic Approach • A simple approach to infer alleles – clustering the signal intensities of individuals (Redon et al, 2006) • If signal intensities are grouped into three clusters, they correspond to two homozygotes and one heterozygote • Assumption: two different alleles Homo Homo Hetero Allele 1 Ind. 1 Allele 2 Ind. 2 (Redon et al, 2006) Ind. 3 Ind. 4 CNV
Statistical Approach • Statistical approach (Kato et al, 2008; Kato et al, 2008; Shindo et al, 2009) • Consider multiple possible states consistent with the total numbers (, which I call diploid numbers) • Condition: diploid numbers are observed. • Unrelated individuals (opposite to pedigrees) • This approach is realized in the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm
Statistical Approach • The EM algorithm is a statistical method to estimate parameters, often used for data with unobserved parameters. • Unobserved parameters here: diplotypes (pairs of haplotypes), since their configurations are not experimentally determined • First, it handles unobserved data as if the unobserved data are observed, by utilizing the observed data on other parameters • Observed parameters here: diploid numbers (the total numbers over a genotype) • Second, it iteratively calculates E and M steps to increase estimation accuracy.

Application • Population differentiation, Fst • CNV regions with high Fst (indicating natural selection) • Microarray data for CEU and YRI populations (90 individuals each) • Frequencies of allelic copy numbers were estimated. (Kato et al, 2009)
LD (association) Application CNV SNP SNP Bi-allelic CEU YRI (Kato et al, 2009) CEU YRI Tri-allelic(del, dup)
Application • RETINA data for CEU and YRI populations (90 individuals each) • Estimation using only copy numbers • Estimation using both bases and copy numbers (SNVCs) (Kato et al, 2008) • More information in SNVC than in only copy number
Future Issues • CNV association studies • Find CNV regions associated with a disease • Currently, they are based on diploid numbers of copies (or categorized numbers like “2 copies”). • It wouldn't be necessary to infer haplotypes, as long as only copy numbers are examined. • However, it would be necessary to infer haplotypes, if SNVCs is associated with a disease • More complex, hard to analyze without haplotype inference • SNVCs = SNPs + copy number changes • Even only SNPs have a significant risk for diseases
Future Issues • Issues in the methodology • Use of pedigree information • Methods based on other algorithms • EM has a limitation. • Gibbs sampling, Coalescence-based sampling, ... • Assumption of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium • Errors in microarray data
Conclusions • Human genome to human variations/polymorphisms • SNP • CNV • Experimental technologies for CNV diploid numbers • CNV haplotype inference • Deterministic approach • Statistical approach • Applications to population genetics • Future issues • Applications to CNV disease association studies – SNVC • Overcoming limitations of the current algorithms
