Emerging and re-emerging zoonotic viruses become critical public health, economic, societal, and cultural burdens. The Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic reveals needs for effective preparedness and responsiveness against the emergence of variants and the next vi-rus outbreak. The targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) significantly contributes to the acquisition of viral genome sequences directly from clinical specimens. Using this ad-vanced NGS technology, the genomic epidemiology and surveillance play a critical role in identifying of infectious source and origin, tracking of transmission chains and virus evo-lution, and characterizing the virulence and developing of vaccines during the outbreak. In this review, we highlight the platforms and preparation of targeted NGS for the viral genomics. We also demonstrate the application of this strategy to take advantage of the responsiveness and preven-tion of emerging zoonotic viruses. This article provides broad and deep insights into the prepared-ness and responsiveness for the next zoonotic virus outbreak.

Because of advances of technologies in the field of genmic epidemiology in the recent years, specimen collection, storage and analysis became an essential part of research methodologies. DNA is now being used in epidemiologic studies to evaluate genetic risk factors and specimens other than the fresh whole blood can De used for PCR. Therefore, All nucleated cells, such as buccal swabs and urine specimens, are suitable for DNA analysis. For an unlimited source of genomic DNA, EBV transformation of lymphocytes can be used for immortalization. However, the type of specimen collected in genomic epidemiologic studies will depend on the study where the epidemiologist play a leading role for the design. We also briefly described various finds of analysis for SNP that is an essential part of the genomic epidemiology.

Genome-wide association study and fine-mapping on Korean biobank to discover renal trait-associated variants

이동진,문종석,Song Dae Kwon,Lee Yong Seok,김동섭,조남준,길효욱,Lee Eun Young,박삼엘 대한신장학회 2024 Kidney Research and Clinical Practice Vol.43 No.3

Background: Chronic kidney disease is a significant health burden worldwide, with increasing incidence. Although several genome- wide association studies (GWAS) have investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) associated with kidney trait, most studies were focused on European ancestry. Methods: We utilized clinical and genetic information collected from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES). Results: More than five million SNPs from 58,406 participants were analyzed. After meta-GWAS, 1,360 loci associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at a genome-wide significant level (p = 5 × 10–8) were identified. Among them, 399 loci were validated with at least one other biomarker (blood urea nitrogen [BUN] or eGFRcysC) and 149 loci were validated using both markers. Among them, 18 SNPs (nine known ones and nine novel ones) with 20 putative genes were found. The aggregated effect of genes estimated by MAGMA gene analysis showed that these significant genes were enriched in kidney-associated pathways, with the kidney and liver being the most enriched tissues. Conclusion: In this study, we conducted GWAS for more than 50,000 Korean individuals and identified several variants associated with kidney traits, including eGFR, BUN, and eGFRcysC. We also investigated functions of relevant genes using computational methods to define putative causal variants.

Gim Jeong-An,Lee Sangyeob,Kim Seung Chan,Baek Kyung-Wan,Yoo Jun-Il 대한의학회 2022 Journal of Korean medical science Vol.37 No.50

Background: Sarcopenia is commonly found in the elderly due to a decline in muscle mass. Many researchers have performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to find genetic risk factors of sarcopenia. Although many studies have discovered sarcopenia associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), most of them are studies targeting Caucasians. The purpose of this study was to evaluate genetic correlation according to muscle mass in middle aged Koreans using data of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KOGES), a large population-based genomic cohort study. Methods: Baseline participants were 10,030 subjects aged 40 to 69 years who were from Ansan or Anseong in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. Among them, 9,351 subjects with laboratory data available were included in this study. To identify sarcopenia associated variants, those in the top 30% and bottom 30% of muscle mass index (MMI) were compared. A total of 7,452 people with an MMI of 30-70% were excluded. A total of 1,004 people were also excluded due to missing data. Finally, 895 people were selected for this study. The Korea Biobank Array generated 500,568 SNPs for this dataset. Results: When subjects were divided into top 30% and bottom 30% of MMI, the top 30% had 169 men and 308 women and the bottom 30% had 220 men and 198 women. In men, age, body mass index (BMI), waist and hip were significantly (P < 0.005) different between top 30% and bottom 30% MMI groups. In women, age, BMI, waist, hip, and hypertension history were significantly different between the two MMI groups. There were 13 significant SNPs in men and 14 significant SNPs in women. Genes associated with variants in men based on the single-nucleotide polymorphism database (dbSNP) were LRP1B containing rs11679458 and RGS6 containing rs11848300. A gene associated with variants in women was Pi4K2A, which contained rs1189312 as a variant. In addition, rs11189312 was associated with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) of ZFYVE27 in skeletal muscles and other SNPs of ZFYVE27 (rs10882883, rs17108378, rs35077384) known to be associated with spastic paraplegia. The eQTL analysis revealed that rs11189312 was a variant associated with SNPs of ZFYVE27. Conclusions: In the demographic study, significant results were found in BMI, waist, hip, history of hyperlipidemia, and sedentary life status in male group, and significant results were found in BMI, waist, hip, and hypertension history in female group. Variant rs11189312 was found to be a novel variant affecting ZFYVE27 expressed in skeletal muscles, suggesting that rs11189312 might be related to sarcopenia as a novel discovery of this study. Further study is needed to determine the association between sarcopenia and ZFYVE27 known to be associated with spastic paraplegia.

<P>Genetic studies of plasma TG levels have identified associations with multiple candidate loci on chromosome11q23.3, which harbors a number of genes, including BUD13, ZNF259, and APOA5-A4-C3-A1. This study aimed to examine whether these multiple candidate genes on the 11q23.3 regions exert independent effects on TG levels or whether their effects are confounded by linkage disequilibrium (LD). We performed a genome-wide association study and consequent fine-mapping analyses on TG levels in two Korean population-based cohorts: the Korea Association Resource study (n = 8,223) and the Healthy Twin study (n = 1,735). A total of 301 loci reached genome-wide significance level in pooled analysis, including 10 SNPs with weak LD (r(2) < 0.06) clustered on 11q23.3: ApoA5 (rs651821, rs2075291); ZNF259 (rs964184, rs603446); BUD13 (rs11216126); Apoa4 (rs7396851); SIK3 (rs12292858); PCSK7 (rs199890178); PAFAH1B2 (rs12420127), and SIDT2 (rs2269399). When the inter-dependence between alleles was examined using conditional models, five loci on BUD13, ZNF259, and ApoA 5 showed possible independent associations. A haplotype analysis using five SNPs revealed both hyper-and hypotriglyceridemic haplotypes, which are relatively common in Koreans (haplotype frequency 0.08-0.22). Our findings suggest the presence of multiple functional loci on 11q23.3, which might exert their effects on plasma TG level independently or through complex interactions between functional loci.</P>

Identification and Application of Biomarkers in Molecular and Genomic Epidemiologic Research

이경무,강대희,Sohee Han,Woong-Yang Park 대한예방의학회 2009 예방의학회지 Vol.42 No.6

Biomarkers are characteristic biological properties that can be detected and measured in a variety of biological matrices in the human body, including the blood and tissue, to give an indication of whether there is a threat of disease, if a disease already exists, or how such a disease may develop in an individual case. Along the continuum from exposure to clinical disease and progression, exposure, internal dose, biologically effective dose, early biological effect, altered structure and/or function, clinical disease, and disease progression can potentially be observed and quantified using biomarkers. While the traditional discovery of biomarkers has been a slow process, the advent of molecular and genomic medicine has resulted in explosive growth in the discovery of new biomarkers. In this review, issues in evaluating biomarkers will be discussed and the biomarkers of environmental exposure, early biologic effect, and susceptibility identified and validated in epidemiological studies will be summarized. The spectrum of genomic approaches currently used to identify and apply biomarkers and strategies to validate genomic biomarkers will also be discussed.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the molecular epidemiology and genetic variability of adenovirus(Ad) serotypes Ad1, Ad2, and Ad5 over 14 years in Korea. Methods : A total of 382 adenoviral strains isolated from the nasopharyngeal aspirates of children with lower respiratory tract infections in Seoul, Korea from November 1990 to February 2003 were serotyped by neutralization assay with type-specific antisera. Viral DNAs were extracted from infected cell lysates by the modified Hirt procedure. Genome type(GT) was determined by DNA restriction analysis with 12 restriction enzymess(BamHI, BclI, BglI, BglII, BstEII, EcoRI, HindIII, HpaI, SalI, SmaI, XbaI, and XhoI). To evaluate the genetic relatedness, pairwise comigrating restriction fragments(PCRF) analysis was performed. Results : Of 382 strains, 33 strains(9%) were Ad1, 45 strains(12%) were Ad2, and 24 strains(6%) were Ad5. Eighteen GTs(Ad1p1-Ad1p7, Ad1a, Ad1b, Ad1b1-Ad1b3, Ad1c, Ad1d, Ad1e, Ad1e1, Ad1e2, Ad1f) among Ad1, 24(Ad2p1-Ad2p11, Ad2a, Ad2a1-Ad2a6, Ad2b, Ad2c, Ad2d, Ad2e, Ad2e1-Ad2e3) among Ad2, and 10(Ad5p1, Ad5p2, Ad5a, Ad5a1-Ad5a7) among Ad5 strains were identified. One or two strains of the vast majority of GTs were isolated during the study period while a few GTs were identified sporadically with more than 2 strains. It is notable that some GTs such as Ad1p5 and Ad5a1 appeared in cluster during a short period. In analysis of genetic relatedness, the degree of PCRFs(pairwise comigrating restriction fragments) for Ad1 varied from 79 to 99%, for Ad2, 82 to 99%, and for Ad5, 85 to 99%. Conclusion : This study established the comprehensive nomenclature systems of Ad1, Ad2, and Ad5. Diverse GTs identified in this study have crucial implications in the genomic diversity and epidemiological characteristics of Ad1, Ad2, and Ad5. 목 적 : DNA 제한 효소 분석법을 이용한 아데노바이러스의 유전체형 분석 방법은 많은 연구자들이 서로 다른 종류의 제한 효소와 명명법을 사용하여 분류함으로써, 아직까지 체계적인 분류 체계가 정립되어 있지 않다. 본 연구는 Li와 Wadell이 제안한 제한 효소 분석법과 명명법을 이용하여 국내에서 최근 14년 동안 분리된 아데노바이러스 혈청형 1, 2, 5형에 대한 유전체형을 분류하고, 그 분자 역학과 유전체형 상호 간의 연관성을 밝히고자 시행하였다. 방 법 : 1990년 11월부터 2003년 2월까지 하기도 감염으로 서울대학교병원 소아과에 입원하였거나, 인접 지역의 종합병원 소아과에 입원한 소아들로부터 채취한 비인두 흡인물을 검체로 하여 HEp-2 세포주에서 배양 후 간접면역형광검사로 확인하고, 분리된 아데노바이러스를 항혈청 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11에 대한 세포독성 효과를 관찰함으로 혈청형을 결정하였다. 혈철형 1, 2, 5형을 대상으로 DNA를 추출하고 12가지 제한 효소 BamHI, BcI, BglI, BglII, BstEII, EcoRI, HindIII, HpaI, SalI, SmaI, XbaI, XhoI로 절단한 후 전기영동 시키고 나타나는 분절 형태를 각 혈청형의 표준주와 비교하여 분석하였다. 유전체형간의 상관성을 비교하기 위하여 PCRF 분석을 시행하였다. 결 과 : 아데노바이러스 분리주 382주를 대상으로 혈청형을 확인한 결과, 1형 33(9%), 2형 45(12%), 3형 107(28%), 4형 16(4%), 5형 24(6%), 6형 8(2%), 7형 116(30%), 11형 9(2%), 그 외의 형들이 24(6%)주로 각각 나타났다. 변이 유전체형은 혈청형 1형 18종류, 2형 25종류, 5형 10종류가 분류되었으며 Ad1p1-Ad1p7, Ad1a, Ad1b, Ad1b1-Ad1b3, Ad1c, Ad1d, Ad1e, Ad1e1, Ad1e2, Ad1f; Ad2p1-Ad2p11, Ad2a, Ad2a1-Ad2a6, Ad2b, Ad2c, Ad2d, Ad2e, Ad2e1-Ad2e3; Ad5p1, Ad5p2, Ad5a, Ad5a1-Ad5a7로 명명되었다. 본 연구에서는 표준주나 이전에 보고 된 유전체형과 일치하는 유전체형은 분리되지 않았다. 대부분의 유전체형은 전 연구기간 동안 1~2주만 분리되었고 일부 유전체형들은 산발적으로 2회 이상 반복 분리되었다. 유전체형 Ad1p5나 Ad5a1와 같이 유행성으로 분포하는 유전체형도 관찰되었다. 혈청형 1형 유전체형 간의 PCRF는 79~99%로 Genomic cluster 1과 2로 구분되었고, 2형과 5형은 각각 82~99%와 84~99%로 모두 80% 이상이었다. 결 론 : 본 연구를 통하여 국내에서 분리된 아데노바이러스 혈청형 1, 2, 5형의 다양한 유전체형을 체계적으로 분석할 수 있었다. 혈청형 1, 2, 5형이 주로 산발성 감염을 일으키는 것으로 알려져 왔으나, 유전체형에 따라 역학적 특징이 다르게 나타날 수 있으며, 이는 DNA의 변형에 의한 유전체형의 변화가 바이러스의 감염력과 생존력에 변화를 일으켰을 가능성을 시사한다. 본 연구 결과는 혈청형 1, 2, 5형의 비교 자료로 활용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 변이 유전체형들에 대한 정보를 제공함으로써 백신 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Genomic epidemiology is defined as 'an evoking field of inquiring that uses the systematic application of epidemiologic methods are approaches in population-based studies of the impact of human genetic variation on health and disease (Khoury, 1998)'. Most human diseases are caused by the intricate interaction among environmental exposures and genetic susceptibility factors. Susceptibility genes involved in disease pathogenesis are categorized into two groups: high penetrance genes (i.e., BRAC1, RB, etc.) and lour penetranoe genes (i.e., GSTs, Cyps, XRCC1, ets.), and low penetrance susceptibility genes has the higher priority for epidemiological research due to high population attributable risk. In this paper, the summarized results of the association study between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and breast cancer in Korea were introduced and the international trends of genomic epidemiology research were reviewed with an emphasis on internee-based case-control and cohort consortium.

Epstein-Barr virus-transformation of B-cell lines in ovarian cancer patients: feasibility of genomic storage for unlimited use

공선영,강석범 대한부인종양학회 2009 Journal of Gynecologic Oncology Vol.20 No.4

Objective: The aim of the current study is to test whether immortalized B-lymphocyte cell line via Ebstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformation is feasible and can be an unlimited source of genome wide study. Methods: We obtained peripheral whole blood from 5 ovarian cancer patients and immortalized the B-cell lines using EBV transformation. The success rate was analyzed and the bio-identity of the genome was performed using human leukocyte antigen (HLA) identity test. Results: EBV transformation was successful in all 5 cases (95% confidence interval, 46.3% to 100%). After cryopreservation of EBV-transformed B-cell lines and subsequent thawing, we observed that all cell lines were viable and proliferative. To check bio-identity, HLA-A, B, and DR were tested between the genome of the original samples and the transformed samples. The HLA typing revealed that all observed HLA-A, B, and DR type was identical in 5 cases before and after EBV-transformation. Conclusion: The current results suggest that EBV-transformation of peripheral blood is an efficient tool in genome banking. The EBV-transformed B-cell lines may be a valuable resource of genome in multi-center translational research by the Korean Gynecologic Oncology Group.
