Landscape of genomic structural variations in Indian population-based cohorts: deeper insights into their prevalence and clinical relevance.
HGG advances. 2024 March 23
Structural variations (SV) are large (> 50 bp) genomic rearrangements comprising deletions, duplications, insertions, inversions, and translocations. Studying SVs is important because they play active and critical roles in regulating gene expression, determining disease predispositions, and identifying population-specific differences among individuals of diverse ancestries. However, SV discoveries in the Indian population using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has been limited. In this study, using short-read WGS having an average 42X depth of coverage, we identify and characterize 36,210 SVs from 529 individuals enrolled in population-based cohorts in India. These SVs include 24,574 deletions, 2913 duplications, 8710 insertions, and 13 inversions. 1.26% (456 out of 36,210) of the identified SVs can potentially impact the coding regions of genes. Furthermore, 56 of these SVs are highly intolerant to loss-of-function changes to the mapped genes, and five SVs impacting ADAMTS17, CCDC40, and RHCE are common in our study individuals. Seven rare SVs significantly impact dosage sensitivity of genes known to be associated with various clinical phenotypes. Most of the SVs in our study are rare and heterozygous. This fine-scale SV discovery in the under-represented Indian population provides valuable insights that extends beyond Euro-centric human genetic studies.
