Abstract Background Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by the accumulation of aggregated tau proteins in astrocytes, neurons, and oligodendrocytes. Previous genome-wide association studies for PSP were based on genotype array, therefore, were inadequate for the analysis of rare variants as well as larger mutations, such as small insertions/deletions (indels) and structural variants (SVs). Method In this study, we performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) and conducted association analysis for single nucleotide variants (SNVs), indels, and SVs, in a cohort of 1,718 cases and 2,944 controls of European ancestry. Of the 1,718 PSP individuals, 1,441 were autopsy-confirmed and 277 were clinically diagnosed. Results Our analysis of common SNVs and indels confirmed known genetic loci at MAPT , MOBP , S TX6 , SLCO1A2 , DUSP10 , and SP1 , and further uncovered novel signals in APOE , FCHO1/MAP1S, KIF13A, TRIM24, TNXB, and ELOVL1 . Notably, in contrast to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), we observed the APOE ε2 allele to be the risk allele in PSP. Analysis of rare SNVs and indels identified significant association in ZNF592 and further gene network analysis identified a module of neuronal genes dysregulated in PSP. Moreover, seven common SVs associated with PSP were observed in the H1/H2 haplotype region (17q21.31) and other loci, including IGH , PCMT1 , CYP2A13 , and SMCP . In the H1/H2 haplotype region, there is a burden of rare deletions and duplications ( P = 6.73 × 10 –3 ) in PSP. Conclusions Through WGS, we significantly enhanced our understanding of the genetic basis of PSP, providing new targets for exploring disease mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.

Abstract Background Clinical trials for upcoming disease‐modifying therapies of spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA), a group of rare movement disorders, lack endpoints sensitive to early disease progression, when therapeutics will be most effective. In addition, regulatory agencies emphasize the importance of biological outcomes. Objectives READISCA, a transatlantic clinical trial readiness consortium, investigated whether advanced multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detects pathology progression over 6 months in preataxic and early ataxic carriers of SCA mutations. Methods A total of 44 participants (10 SCA1, 25 SCA3, and 9 controls) prospectively underwent 3‐T MR scanning at baseline and a median [interquartile range] follow‐up of 6.2 [5.9–6.7] months; 44% of SCA participants were preataxic. Blinded analyses of annual changes in structural, diffusion MRI, MR spectroscopy, and the Scale for Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) were compared between groups using nonparametric testing. Sample sizes were estimated for 6‐month interventional trials with 50% to 100% treatment effect size, leveraging existing large cohort data (186 SCA1, 272 SCA3) for the SARA estimate. Results Rate of change in microstructural integrity (decrease in fractional anisotropy, increase in diffusivities) in the middle cerebellar peduncle, corona radiata, and superior longitudinal fasciculus significantly differed in SCAs from controls ( P < 0.005), with high effect sizes (Cohen's d = 1–2) and moderate‐to‐high responsiveness (|standardized response mean| = 0.6–0.9) in SCAs. SARA scores did not change, and their rate of change did not differ between groups. Conclusions Diffusion MRI is sensitive to disease progression at very early‐stage SCA1 and SCA3 and may provide a >5‐fold reduction in sample sizes relative to SARA as endpoint for 6‐month‐long trials. © 2024 The Author(s).

The parkin V380L variant is a genetic modifier of Machado-Joseph disease with impact on mitophagy

AbstractMachado–Joseph disease (MJD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative spinocerebellar ataxia caused by a polyglutamine-coding CAG repeat expansion in the ATXN3 gene. While the CAG length correlates negatively with the age at onset, it accounts for approximately 50% of its variability only. Despite larger efforts in identifying contributing genetic factors, candidate genes with a robust and plausible impact on the molecular pathogenesis of MJD are scarce. Therefore, we analysed missense single nucleotide polymorphism variants in the PRKN gene encoding the Parkinson's disease-associated E3 ubiquitin ligase parkin, which is a well-described interaction partner of the MJD protein ataxin-3, a deubiquitinase. By performing a correlation analysis in the to-date largest MJD cohort of more than 900 individuals, we identified the V380L variant as a relevant factor, decreasing the age at onset by 3 years in homozygous carriers. Functional analysis in an MJD cell model demonstrated that parkin V380L did not modulate soluble or aggregate levels of ataxin-3 but reduced the interaction of the two proteins. Moreover, the presence of parkin V380L interfered with the execution of mitophagy—the autophagic removal of surplus or damaged mitochondria—thereby compromising cell viability. In summary, we identified the V380L variant in parkin as a genetic modifier of MJD, with negative repercussions on its molecular pathogenesis and disease age at onset.
