    Variants Affecting Exon Skipping Contribute to Complex Traits

    <div><p>DNA variants that affect alternative splicing and the relative quantities of different gene transcripts have been shown to be risk alleles for some Mendelian diseases. However, for complex traits characterized by a low odds ratio for any single contributing variant, very few studies have investigated the contribution of splicing variants. The overarching goal of this study is to discover and characterize the role that variants affecting alternative splicing may play in the genetic etiology of complex traits, which include a significant number of the common human diseases. Specifically, we hypothesize that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in splicing regulatory elements can be characterized <em>in silico</em> to identify variants affecting splicing, and that these variants may contribute to the etiology of complex diseases as well as the inter-individual variability in the ratios of alternative transcripts. We leverage high-throughput expression profiling to 1) experimentally validate our <em>in silico</em> predictions of skipped exons and 2) characterize the molecular role of intronic genetic variations in alternative splicing events in the context of complex human traits and diseases. We propose that intronic SNPs play a role as genetic regulators within splicing regulatory elements and show that their associated exon skipping events can affect protein domains and structure. We find that SNPs we would predict to affect exon skipping are enriched among the set of SNPs reported to be associated with complex human traits.</p> </div

    <p>The upper 3 rows show the general distribution of the distance to the nearest exon of all intronic SNPs and the distance to the skipped exon of the ISE SNPs (<a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1002998#pgen.1002998.s003" target="_blank">Figure S3</a>). The bottom 3 rows show the distribution of the distance to the nearest exon of trait-associated intronic SNPs and distance to the nearest exon of trait-associated ISE SNPs (<a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1002998#pgen-1002998-g007" target="_blank">Figure 7</a>).</p

    Figure S4. An example of filtering process to select a patient cohort based on clinical information or properties. A. Selection of female and lifelong never-smoker patients in the TCGA LUAD cohort. (โ€œCohort Selectionโ€ menu is located in left-top side of the page) B. Driver genes were sorted by mutation frequency by clicking the โ€œ# Mutationsโ€ label at the bottom. The sorting result confirmed that EGFR is the most frequently mutated gene among these patients, whereas TP53 mutation was prevalent in other patients as shown in Additional file 7: Figure S3.
