Multiple genes in a single GWAS risk locus synergistically mediate aberrant synaptic development and function in human neurons
Open accessAbstract
The mechanistic tie between genome-wide association study (GWAS)-implicated risk variants and disease-relevant cellular phenotypes remains largely unknown. Here, using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons as a neurodevelopmental model, we identify multiple schizophrenia (SZ) risk variants that display allele-specific open chromatin (ASoC) and are likely to be functional. Editing the strongest ASoC SNP, rs2027349, near vacuolar protein sorting 45 homolog (VPS45) alters the expression of VPS45, lncRNA AC244033.2, and a distal gene, C1orf54. Notably, the transcriptomic changes in neurons are associated with SZ and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Neurons carrying the risk allele exhibit increased dendritic complexity and hyperactivity. Interestingly, individual/combinatorial gene knockdown shows that these genes alter cellular phenotypes in a non-additive synergistic manner. Our study reveals that multiple genes at a single GWAS risk locus mediate a compound effect on neural function, providing a mechanistic link between a non-coding risk variant and disease-related cellular phenotypes.

The STAR★Methods section on experimental models describes checks of pluripotency and CRISPR off-target editing, but does not say that eSNP-karyotyping was performed on all cell lines or used to screen for chromosomal abnormalities. Searches for eSNP-karyotyping, karyotyping, and chromosomal abnormalities found no passage addressing that procedure. (LLM, conf=0.76)

“…identify functional LOAD GWAS risk variants, we performed an assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC–seq) and ascertained the allelic imbalance of chromatin accessibility (that is, ASoC) 20,21 at heterozygous LOAD-risk single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites (Fig.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
