Immune-response 3′UTR alternative polyadenylation quantitative trait loci contribute to variation in human complex traits and diseases

Résumé

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified thousands of non-coding variants that are associated with human complex traits and diseases. The analysis of such GWAS variants in different contexts and physiological states is essential for deciphering the regulatory mechanisms underlying human disease. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a key post-transcriptional modification for most human genes that substantially impacts upon cell behavior. Here, we mapped 9,493 3′-untranslated region APA quantitative trait loci in 18 human immune baseline cell types and 8 stimulation conditions (immune 3′aQTLs). Through the comparison between baseline and stimulation data, we observed the high responsiveness of 3′aQTLs to immune stimulation (response 3′aQTLs). Co-localization and mendelian randomization analyses of immune 3′aQTLs identified 678 genes where 3′aQTL are associated with variation in complex traits, 27.3% of which were derived from response 3′aQTLs. Overall, these analyses reveal the role of immune 3′aQTLs in the determination of complex traits, providing new insights into the regulatory mechanisms underlying disease etiologies.
