Epigenetic marks, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, undergo dynamic changes during cellular differentiation and development. A new study demonstrates that DNA methylation by Dnmt1 protects essential stem cell properties in both hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and leukemia stem cells (LSCs) by silencing differentiation programs that interfere with self-renewal and multipotency.

Two new studies report improved statistics to predict whether an individual participated in a genome-wide association study based on aggregate allele or genotype frequency information. They demonstrate that it may be possible to release summary statistics for a subset of genetic markers in a study while maintaining individual privacy. (Source: Nature Genetics)

, Christoph Kaether, Vincent Timmerman & Christian A Hübner
Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type II (HSAN II) leads to severe mutilations because of impaired nociception and autonomic dysfunction. Here we show that loss-of-function mutations in FAM134B, encoding a newly identified cis-Golgi protein, cause HSAN II. Fam134b knockdown results in structural alterations of the cis-Golgi compartment and induces apoptosis in some primary dorsal root ganglion neurons. This implicates FAM134B as critical in long-term survival of nociceptive and autonomic ganglion neurons. (Source: Nature Genetics)

We report a genome-wide association study to iron status. We identify an association of SNPs in TPMRSS6 to serum iron (rs855791, combined P = 1.5 × 10−20), transferrin saturation (combined P = 2.2 × 10−23) and erythrocyte mean cell volume (MCV, combined P = 1.1 × 10−10). We also find suggestive evidence of association with blood hemoglobin levels (combined P = 5.3 × 10−7). These findings demonstrate the involvement of TMPRSS6 in control of iron homeostasis and in normal erythropoiesis. (Source: Nature Genetics)

We carried out a genome-wide association study of hemoglobin levels in 16,001 individuals of European and Indian Asian ancestry. The most closely associated SNP (rs855791) results in nonsynonymous (V736A) change in the serine protease domain of TMPRSS6 and a blood hemoglobin concentration 0.13 (95% CI 0.09–0.17) g/dl lower per copy of allele A (P = 1.6 × 10−13). Our findings suggest that TMPRSS6, a regulator of hepcidin synthesis and iron handling, is crucial in hemoglobin level maintenance. (Source: Nature Genetics)

mp; Michael J Kelley
Using high-resolution array-CGH, we identified unique duplications of a region on 6q27 in four multiplex families with at least three cases of chordoma, a cancer of presumed notochordal origin. The duplicated region contains only the T (brachyury) gene, which is important in notochord development and is expressed in most sporadic chordomas. Our findings highlight the value of screening for complex genomic rearrangements in searches for cancer-susceptibility genes. (Source: Nature Genetics)

Mouse models have markedly improved our understanding of cancer development and tumor biology. However, these models have shown limited efficacy as tractable systems for unbiased genetic experimentation. Here, we report the adaptation of loss-of-function screening to mouse models of cancer. Specifically, we have been able to introduce a library of shRNAs into individual mice using transplantable Eμ-myc lymphoma cells. This approach has allowed us to screen nearly 1,000 genetic alterations in the context of a single tumor-bearing mouse. These experiments have identified a central role for regulators of act...

We report a genome-wide association study in 10,286 cases and 9,135 controls of European ancestry in the Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility (CGEMS) initiative. We identify a new association with prostate cancer risk on chromosome 8q24 (rs620861, P = 1.3 × 10−10, heterozygote OR = 1.17, 95% CI 1.10–1.24; homozygote OR = 1.33, 95% CI 1.21–1.45). This defines a new locus associated with prostate cancer susceptibility on 8q24. (Source: Nature Genetics)

A tumor suppressor activity of Drosophila Polycomb genes mediated by JAK-STAT signaling

David Bilder
A prevailing paradigm posits that Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins maintain stem cell identity by repressing differentiation genes, and abundant evidence points to an oncogenic role for PcG proteins in human cancer. Here we show using Drosophila melanogaster that a conventional PcG complex can also have a potent tumor suppressor activity. Mutations in any core PRC1 component cause pronounced hyperproliferation of eye imaginal tissue, accompanied by deregulation of epithelial architecture. The mitogenic JAK-STAT pathway is strongly and specifically activated in mutant tissue; activation is driven by transcriptiona...

Genome-wide association of IL28B with response to pegylated interferon-α and ribavirin therapy for chronic hepatitis C

We report a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to null virological response (NVR) in the treatment of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 within a Japanese population. We found two SNPs near the gene IL28B on chromosome 19 to be strongly associated with NVR (rs12980275, P = 1.93 × 10−13, and rs8099917, 3.11 × 10−15). We replicated these associations in an independent cohort (combined P values, 2.84 × 10−27 (OR = 17.7; 95% CI = 10.0–31.3) and 2.68 × 10−32 (OR = 27.1; 95% CI = 14.6–50.3), respectively). Compared to NVR, these SNPs were also associated wit...

We report an association to SVR within the gene region encoding interleukin 28B (IL28B, also called IFNλ3; rs8099917 combined P = 9.25 × 10−9, OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.57–2.52). IL28B contributes to viral resistance and is known to be upregulated by interferons and by RNA virus infection. These data suggest that host genetics may be useful for the prediction of drug response, and they also support the investigation of the role of IL28B in the treatment of HCV and in other diseases treated with IFN-α.

Interferon-alfa, interferon-λ and hepatitis C
Nature Genetics 41, 1048 (2009). doi:10.1038/ng.453
Author: Thomas R O'Brien
Three new studies report genetic variants near IL28B, which encodes interferon-λ3 (interleukin 28B), are associated with response to treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection with interferon-alfa/ribavirin combination therapy. This renews interest in how interferons suppress viremia and could lead to improved clinical decisions for chronic HCV infection treatment based on individual genotype. (Source: Nature Genetics)
