Genotype “Endophenotypes” Clinical Phenotype: Disease Signs & Symptoms Rational treatment or prevention
Mechanistic information: essential roles of individual genes; groups of genes clustered by pathway; systems biology understanding of gene-gene interactions Molecular, cellular & whole system consequences of mutations in individual genes Specific tests for endophenotypes: Cell-based or biomarker assays that can be applied to human samples Preclinical efficacy in mice with pathway defects like humans Clinical and commercial translation: targetted development of new therapeutics/preventions MAN Translation Gap: bridged by integrating next-gen sequencing and solid understanding of mechanism from Mendelian mouse mutants Next-gen resequencing to reveal family-specific variants: Statistical associations: Eg clusters of mutations in particular pathways MOUSE Translation gap MEDICINE
The genome encodes the buttons and circuits of our immune system - we just need to know how to read the instructions Fumbling for his recline button, Ted unwittingly instigates a disaster
Systematic screening for recessive Mendelian syndromes in the immune system caused by single nucleotide variants G0: ENU treated C57BL/6 male C57BL/6 female Random base substitutions in spermatogonial stem cells C57BL/6 female * G1 progeny: carry ~3000 single nucleotide substitutions spread randomly across paternal chromosomes: ~35 functional variants/G1 * G2progeny: Single nucleotide substitutions segregate G3 progeny: 12.5% of SNVs brought to homozygosity in each mouse
Genotype: mutation mapped to chromosomal interval and identified by DNA sequencing “Endophenotypes”: eg altered blood cells in flow cytometry, altered antibody response to immunization Clinical Phenotype: eg susceptibility to infection with M tuberculosis or Poxvirus, allergic dermatitis, disseminated lymphoid cancer Preclinical model for treatment or prevention

Plate 14062 Blood FACs bled 064/10 (05.03.10) Comment: Mehmet : Sample 37,38,40 and 65 have reduced CD4 and CD8 T cells Sample 37 and 40 elevated IgE Chris Goodnow: Stains and gates look great. I worry that we’re not picking up IgE+ cells in most samples: gating or staining intensity problem?

Example #1: the value of integrating clinical correlations of DNA variants with understanding of mechanism from the mouse: Regulating NFkB activity and cell growth in normal, autoimmune and malignant B cells
Discovering new regulators of B cell growth by forward genetics: phenotypic screening of a library of mice segregating thousands of randomly-induced single nucleotide substitutions • Unmodulated detected from B cell screen • Each dot represent one mouse. • Dashed lines two SD • ~ 400 G3 animals Amount of complement receptor on B cell surface Amount of antigen receptor on B cell surface Changes in antigen receptor density often indicate abnormalilities in the BCR signalling pathways
Unmodulated variant breeds true as a simple Mendelian recessive trait Control Amount of complement receptor on B cell surface Variant Amount of antigen receptor on B cell surface Mean values for individual offspring from unmodulated affected mouse (un/un) crossed with heterozygous (un/+) carrier
Homozygous un/un mice make little antibody upon immunization, because their B cells proliferate poorly to BCR-stimulation Relative amount of antibody in serum Th1 / IgG2a Th2 / IgG1
