A need for genetic studies in humans:

  • QTL mapping studies in mice have revealed

associations with loci

– Loci can be quite big

  • Studies with candidate genes in humans

– e.g., NOD2 (Li et al., PloS One, 2012) – You know what you are looking for

  • No published genome-wide association studies

in humans

Within MZ = within DZ bacterial diversity

Twin Registry (TwinsUK)

  • 2,300 twins genotyped with Illumina 300 HapChip

3,500 twins genotyped with the Illumina 600 HapChip

  • ~1,000 Fecal samples collected to date

– 249 DZ pairs – 157 MZ pairs – 163 unrelated – 36 repeat samples – 32 to 87 (average 64) years old – Mostly Female

Genotyped MZ and DZ twins

Collaborators: Andy Clark (Cornell) Tim Spector, Jordana Bell (KCL) 16S rRNA diversity with MiSeq

MZ twins have stronger correlations than DZ twins

MZ = DZ for total diversity

Similar pattern of heritability across studies

GWAS

SNP rs1016883 on chromosome 2 In gene for phospholipase C-like 1 (PLCL1) PLCL1 had a role in insulin-induced GABA (A) receptor expression G = Risk allele for Crohn’s Pre-screened SPNs include just those that are related to IBD Example of early result

Gaps

  • How does the host genotype determine the

microbiome?

  • How does the microbiome interact with the

host genotype to determine risk susceptibilities to diseases?

  • How much more variation (in any host trait)

can be explained with a microbiota component in addition to, or in combination with genotype?

Healthy pregnancy

Metabolic changes include reduced insulin sensitivity, low-grade inflammation

  • Highly adaptive in the context of pregnancy
  • Are the gut microbes a link in the chain?
