Tourette syndrome (TS) is a model neuropsychiatric disorder thought to arise from abnormal development and/or maintenance of cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuits. TS is highly heritable, but its underlying genetic causes are still elusive, and no genome-wide significant loci have been discovered to date. We analyzed a European ancestry sample of 2,434 TS cases and 4,093 ancestry-matched controls for rare (< 1% frequency) copy-number variants (CNVs) using SNP microarray data. We observed an enrichment of global CNV burden that was prominent for large (> 1 Mb), singleton events (OR = 2.28, 95% CI [1.39-3.79], p = 1.2 × 10) and known, pathogenic CNVs (OR = 3.03 [1.85-5.07], p = 1.5 × 10). We also identified two individual, genome-wide significant loci, each conferring a substantial increase in TS risk (NRXN1 deletions, OR = 20.3, 95% CI [2.6-156.2]; CNTN6 duplications, OR = 10.1, 95% CI [2.3-45.4]). Approximately 1% of TS cases carry one of these CNVs, indicating that rare structural variation contributes significantly to the genetic architecture of TS.
抽动秽语综合征(TS)是一种典型的神经精神障碍,被认为是由皮质-纹状体-丘脑-皮质回路的异常发育和/或维持引起的。TS具有高度遗传性,但其潜在的遗传原因仍不明确,迄今为止尚未发现全基因组范围内具有显著意义的基因座。我们使用单核苷酸多态性(SNP)微阵列数据,对2434例TS病例和4093例血统匹配的对照组成的欧洲血统样本进行了罕见(频率<1%)拷贝数变异(CNV)分析。我们观察到总体CNV负担增加,这在大型(>1 Mb)、单例事件(优势比[OR]=2.28,95%置信区间[CI][1.39 - 3.79],p = 1.2×10)和已知的致病性CNV中尤为突出(OR = 3.03[1.85 - 5.07],p = 1.5×10)。我们还确定了两个全基因组范围内具有显著意义的基因座,每个基因座都使TS风险大幅增加(NRXN1缺失,OR = 20.3,95% CI[2.6 - 156.2];CNTN6重复,OR = 10.1,95% CI[2.3 - 45.4])。约1%的TS病例携带这些CNV中的一种,这表明罕见的结构变异对TS的遗传结构有显著贡献。
