Abstract

A growing body of work has addressed human adaptations to diverse environments using genomic data, but few studies have connected putatively selected alleles to phenotypes, much less among underrepresented populations such as Amerindians. Studies of natural selection and genotype-phenotype relationships in underrepresented populations hold potential to uncover previously undescribed loci underlying evolutionarily and biomedically relevant traits. Here, we worked with the Tsimane and the Moseten, two Amerindian populations inhabiting the Bolivian lowlands. We focused most intensively on the Tsimane, because long-term anthropological work with this group has shown that they have a high burden of both macro and microparasites, as well as minimal cardiometabolic disease or dementia. We therefore generated genome-wide genotype data for Tsimane individuals to study natural selection, and paired this with blood mRNA-seq as well as cardiometabolic and immune biomarker data generated from a larger sample that included both populations. In the Tsimane, we identified 21 regions that are candidates for selective sweeps, as well as 5 immune traits that show evidence for polygenic selection (e.g., C-reactive protein levels and the response to coronaviruses). Genes overlapping candidate regions were strongly enriched for known involvement in immune-related traits, such as abundance of lymphocytes and eosinophils. Importantly, we were also able to draw on extensive phenotype information for the Tsimane and Moseten and link five regions (containing , and , , , and ) with biomarkers of immune and metabolic function. Together, our work highlights the utility of pairing evolutionary analyses with anthropological and biomedical data to gain insight into the genetic basis of health-related traits.

摘要

越来越多的研究利用基因组数据探讨了人类对不同环境的适应,但很少有研究将假定的选择等位基因与表型联系起来,更不用说在美洲原住民等代表性不足的人群中了。在代表性不足的人群中研究自然选择和基因型-表型关系有可能揭示以前未知的与进化和生物医学相关特征相关的基因座。在这里,我们与两个居住在玻利维亚低地的美洲原住民群体——提斯曼人和莫斯特人合作。我们最集中地研究了提斯曼人,因为长期以来对这个群体的人类学研究表明,他们既有大量的大寄生虫和小寄生虫,也有很少的心脑血管疾病或痴呆症。因此,我们为提斯曼人个体生成了全基因组基因型数据,以研究自然选择,并将其与血液 mRNA-seq 以及来自包括这两个群体的更大样本的心血管代谢和免疫生物标志物数据相结合。在提斯曼人中,我们确定了 21 个候选的选择清除区域,以及 5 个免疫特征显示出多基因选择的证据(例如,C 反应蛋白水平和对冠状病毒的反应)。与候选区域重叠的基因强烈富集了已知与免疫相关特征有关的基因,例如淋巴细胞和嗜酸性粒细胞的丰度。重要的是,我们还能够利用提斯曼人和莫斯特人的大量表型信息,将五个区域(包含、、、、和)与免疫和代谢功能的生物标志物联系起来。总之,我们的工作强调了将进化分析与人类学和生物医学数据相结合,以深入了解与健康相关特征的遗传基础的实用性。
