Abstract

Summary

Height is a highly heritable, classic polygenic trait with ∼700 common associated variants identified so far through genome-wide association studies. Here, we report 83 height-associated coding variants with lower minor allele frequencies (range of 0.1-4.8%) and effects of up to 2 cm/allele (e.g. in IHH, STC2, AR and CRISPLD2), >10 times the average effect of common variants. In functional follow-up studies, rare height-increasing alleles of STC2 (+1-2 cm/allele) compromised proteolytic inhibition of PAPP-A and increased cleavage of IGFBP-4 in vitro, resulting in higher bioavailability of insulin-like growth factors. These 83 height-associated variants overlap genes mutated in monogenic growth disorders and highlight new biological candidates (e.g. ADAMTS3, IL11RA, NOX4) and pathways (e.g. proteoglycan/glycosaminoglycan synthesis) involved in growth. Our results demonstrate that sufficiently large sample sizes can uncover rare and low-frequency variants of moderate to large effect associated with polygenic human phenotypes, and that these variants implicate relevant genes and pathways.

<title>Summary</title>
<p id="P1">Height is a highly heritable, classic polygenic trait with ∼700 common associated variants identified so far through genome-wide association studies. Here, we report 83 height-associated coding variants with lower minor allele frequencies (range of 0.1-4.8%) and effects of up to 2 cm/allele (
<italic>e.g.</italic>
in
<italic>IHH</italic>
,
<italic>STC2</italic>
,
<italic>AR</italic>
and
<italic>CRISPLD2</italic>
), >10 times the average effect of common variants. In functional follow-up studies, rare height-increasing alleles of
<italic>STC2</italic>
(+1-2 cm/allele) compromised proteolytic inhibition of PAPP-A and increased cleavage of IGFBP-4
<italic>in vitro</italic>
, resulting in higher bioavailability of insulin-like growth factors. These 83 height-associated variants overlap genes mutated in monogenic growth disorders and highlight new biological candidates (
<italic>e.g. ADAMTS3, IL11RA, NOX4</italic>
) and pathways (
<italic>e.g.</italic>
proteoglycan/glycosaminoglycan synthesis) involved in growth. Our results demonstrate that sufficiently large sample sizes can uncover rare and low-frequency variants of moderate to large effect associated with polygenic human phenotypes, and that these variants implicate relevant genes and pathways.</p>

<title>Summary</title>
<p id="P1">Height is a highly heritable, classic polygenic trait with ∼700 common associated variants identified so far through genome-wide association studies. Here, we report 83 height-associated coding variants with lower minor allele frequencies (range of 0.1-4.8%) and effects of up to 2 cm/allele (
<italic>e.g.</italic>
in
<italic>IHH</italic>
,
<italic>STC2</italic>
,
<italic>AR</italic>
and
<italic>CRISPLD2</italic>
), >10 times the average effect of common variants. In functional follow-up studies, rare height-increasing alleles of
<italic>STC2</italic>
(+1-2 cm/allele) compromised proteolytic inhibition of PAPP-A and increased cleavage of IGFBP-4
<italic>in vitro</italic>
, resulting in higher bioavailability of insulin-like growth factors. These 83 height-associated variants overlap genes mutated in monogenic growth disorders and highlight new biological candidates (
<italic>e.g. ADAMTS3, IL11RA, NOX4</italic>
) and pathways (
<italic>e.g.</italic>
proteoglycan/glycosaminoglycan synthesis) involved in growth. Our results demonstrate that sufficiently large sample sizes can uncover rare and low-frequency variants of moderate to large effect associated with polygenic human phenotypes, and that these variants implicate relevant genes and pathways.</p>

. The contribution of common DNA sequence variation to inter-individual differences in adult height has been systematically evaluated through genome-wide association studies (GWAS). This approach has thus far identified 697 independent variants located within 423 loci that together explain ∼20% of the heritability of height
<sup>
<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
</sup>
. As is typical of complex traits and diseases, most of the height alleles discovered so far are common (minor allele frequency (MAF) >5%) and are mainly located outside coding regions, complicating the identification of the relevant genes or functional variants. Identifying coding variants associated with a complex trait in new or known loci has the potential to pinpoint causal genes. Furthermore, the extent to which rare (MAF <1%) and low-frequency (1%< MAF ≤ 5%) coding variants also influence complex traits and diseases remains an open question. Many recent DNA sequencing studies have identified only few such variants
<sup>
<xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
-
<xref rid="R8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
</sup>
, but this limited success could be due to their modest sample size
<sup>
<xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
</sup>
. Some studies have suggested that common sequence variants may explain the majority of the heritable variation in adult height

(Methods), to perform pathway analyses using the ExomeChip results to test whether coding variants could either independently confirm the relevance of these previously highlighted pathways (and further implicate specific genes in these pathways), or identify new pathways. To compare the pathways emerging from coding and non-coding variation, we applied DEPICT separately on (1) exome array-wide associated coding variants independent of known GWAS signals and (2) non-coding GWAS loci, excluding all novel height-associated genes implicated by coding variants. We identified a total of 496 and 1,623 enriched gene sets, respectively, at a false discovery rate (FDR) <1% (
<xref rid="SD2" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Tables 19-20</xref>

In general, coding variants more strongly implicated pathways specific to skeletal growth (such as ECM and bone growth), while GWAS signals highlighted more global biological processes (such as transcription factor binding and embryonic size/lethality) (
<xref rid="F6" ref-type="fig">Extended Data Fig. 6</xref>
). The two significant gene sets identified by DEPICT and PASCAL that uniquely implicated coding variants were “BCAN protein protein interaction subnetwork” and “proteoglycan binding.” Both of these pathways relate to the biology of proteoglycans, which are proteins (such as aggrecan) that contain glycosaminoglycans (such as chrondroitin sulfate) and that have well-established connections to skeletal growth

Given the design of the ExomeChip, which did not consider variants with MAF <0.004% (or one allele in ∼12,000 participants), our gene-based association results do not rule out the possibility that additional genes with such rarer coding variants also contribute to height variation; deep DNA sequencing in very large sample sizes will be required to address this question. In total, our results highlight 89 genes (10 from gene-based testing and 79 from single-variant analyses (four genes have 2 independent coding variants)) that are likely to modulate human growth, and 24 alleles segregating in the general population that affect height by more than 1 cm (

<p id="P15">Overall, our findings provide strong evidence that rare and low-frequency coding variants contribute to the genetic architecture of height, a model complex human trait. This conclusion has strong implications for the prediction of complex human phenotypes in the context of precision medicine initiatives. Indeed, although rare, large effect size variants might not explain most of the heritable disease risk at the population level, they are important to predict the risk to develop disease for individuals that carry them. Our findings also seem to contrast sharply with results from the recent large-scale T2D association study, which found only six variants with MAF <5% (ref.
<sup>
<xref rid="R29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>

). This apparent difference could simply be explained by the large difference in sample sizes between the two studies (711,428 for height vs. 127,145 for T2D). When we consider the fraction of associated variants with MAF<5% among all confirmed variants for height and T2D, we find that it is similar (9.7% for height vs. 7.1% for T2D). This supports the strong probability that rarer T2D alleles and more generally, rarer alleles for other polygenic diseases and traits, will be uncovered as sample sizes continue to increase.</p>

<title>Genomic inflation and confounding</title>
<p id="P22">We observed a marked genomic inflation of the test statistics even after adequate control for population stratification (linear mixed model) arising mainly from common markers; λ

in European-ancestry was 1.2 and 2.7 for all and common markers, respectively (
<xref rid="F2" ref-type="fig">Extended Data Fig. 2</xref>

<xref rid="SD2" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Table 8</xref>

<sup>
<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
,
<xref rid="R34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>

. To confirm this, we applied the recently developed linkage disequilibrium (LD) score regression method to our height ExomeChip results
<sup>
<xref rid="R30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>
</sup>
, with the caveats that the method was developed (and tested) with >200,000 common markers available. We restricted our analyses to 15,848 common variants (MAF ≥5%) from the European-ancestry meta-analysis, and matched them to pre-computed LD scores for the European reference dataset
<sup>

. The intercept of the regression of the χ

statistics from the height meta-analysis on the LD score estimate the inflation in the mean χ

due to confounding bias, such as cryptic relatedness or population stratification. The intercept was 1.4 (standard error=0.07), which is small when compared to the λ

of 2.7. Furthermore, we also confirmed that the LD score regression intercept is estimated upward because of the small number of variants on the ExomeChip and the selection criteria for these variants (
<italic>i.e.</italic>
known GWAS hits). The ratio statistic of (intercept -1) / (mean χ

, suggesting that most of the inflation (∼93%) observed in the height association statistics is due to polygenic effects (
<xref rid="F2" ref-type="fig">Extended Data Fig. 2</xref>

<p id="P23">Furthermore, to exclude the possibility that some of the observed associations between height and rare/low-frequency variants could be due to allele calling problems in the smaller studies, we performed a sensitivity meta-analysis with primarily Europe-ancestry studies totaling >5,000 participants.

RAREMETAL performs conditional analyses by using covariance matrices in order to distinguish true signals from those driven by LD at adjacent known variants. First, we identified the lead variants (

. The process was repeated until no additional signal emerged below the pre-specified P-value threshold. The use of a 1 Mb window in RAREMETAL can obscure dependence between conditional signals in adjacent intervals in regions of extended LD. To detect such instances, we performed joint analyses using GCTA with the ARIC and UK ExomeChip reference panels, both of which comprise >10,000 individuals of European descent. With the exception of a handful of variants in a few genomic regions with extended LD (

. In brief, reconstitution was performed by extending pre-defined gene sets (such as Gene Ontology terms, canonical pathways, protein-protein interaction subnetworks and rodent phenotypes) with genes co-regulated with genes in these pre-defined gene set using large-scale microarray-based transcriptomics data. In order to adapt the gene set enrichment part of DEPICT for ExomeChip data, we made two principal changes. First and foremost, because DEPICT for GWAS incorporates all genes within a given LD block around each index SNP, we modified DEPICT to take as input only the gene directly impacted by the coding SNP. Second, we adapted the way DEPICT adjust for confounders (such as gene length) by generating null ExomeChip association results using Swedish ExomeChip data (Malmö Diet and Cancer (MDC), All New Diabetics in Scania (ANDIS), and Scania Diabetes Registry (SDR) cohorts, N=11,899) and randomly assigning phenotypes from a normal distribution before conducting association analysis (see
<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Information</xref>
). For the gene set enrichment analysis of the ExomeChip data, we used significant non-synonymous variants statistically independent of known GWAS hits (and that were present in the null ExomeChip data; see
<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Information</xref>
for details). For gene set enrichment analysis of the GWAS data, we used all loci (1) with a non-coding index SNP and (2) that did not contain any of the novel ExomeChip genes. In visualizing the analysis, we used affinity propagation clustering
<sup>
<xref rid="R47" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>

to group the most similar reconstituted gene sets based on their gene memberships (see
<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Information</xref>

<p id="P50">Comparison of DEPICT gene set enrichment results based on coding variation from ExomeChip (EC) or non-coding variation from genome-wide association study data (GWAS). The x-axis indicates the P-value for enrichment of a given gene set using DEPICT adapted for EC data, where the input to DEPICT is the genes implicated by coding EC variants that are independent of known GWAS signals. The y-axis indicates the P-value for gene set enrichment using DEPICT, using as input the GWAS loci that do not overlap the coding signals. Each point represents a meta-gene set, and the best P-value for any gene set within the meta-gene set is shown. Only significant (false discovery rate < 0.01) gene set enrichment results are plotted. Colors correspond to whether the meta-gene set was significant for EC only (blue), GWAS only (green), both but more significant for EC (purple), or both but more significant for GWAS (orange), and the most significant gene sets within each category are labeled. A line is drawn at x = y for ease of comparison.</p>

<p id="P51">Heat map showing entire DEPICT gene set enrichment results (analogous to
<xref rid="F10" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>
in the main text). For any given square, the color indicates how strongly the corresponding gene (shown on the x-axis) is predicted to belong to the reconstituted gene set (y-axis). This value is based on the gene's Z-score for gene set inclusion in DEPICT's reconstituted gene sets, where red indicates a higher Z-score and blue indicates a lower one. The proteoglycan binding pathway was uniquely implicated by coding variants (as opposed to common variants) by both DEPICT and the Pascal method. To visually reduce redundancy and increase clarity, we chose one representative “meta-gene set” for each group of highly correlated gene sets based on affinity propagation clustering (see Methods and
<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Information</xref>
). Heat map intensity and DEPICT p-values correspond to the most significantly enriched gene set within the meta-gene set; meta-gene sets are listed with their database source. Annotations for the genes indicate whether the gene has OMIM annotation as underlying a disorder of skeletal growth (black and grey) and the minor allele frequency of the significant EC variant (shades of blue; if multiple variants, the lowest-frequency variant was kept). Annotations for the gene sets indicate if the gene set was also found significant for EC by the Pascal method (yellow and grey) and if the gene set was found significant by DEPICT for EC only or for both EC and GWAS (purple and green).

<p>Variants with a larger effect size on height variation tend to be rarer. We observed an inverse relationship between the effect size (from the combined “discovery+validation” analysis, in cm on the

<p>Heat map showing subset of DEPICT gene set enrichment results. The full heat map is available as
<xref rid="F7" ref-type="fig">Extended Data Fig. 7</xref>
. For any given square, the color indicates how strongly the corresponding gene (shown on the
<italic>x</italic>
-axis) is predicted to belong to the reconstituted gene set (
<italic>y</italic>
-axis). This value is based on the gene's Z-score for gene set inclusion in DEPICT's reconstituted gene sets, where red indicates a higher Z-score and blue indicates a lower one. The proteogly can binding pathway (bold) was uniquely implicated by coding variants by DEPICT and PASCAL. To visually reduce redundancy and increase clarity, we chose one representative “meta-gene set” for each group of highly correlated gene sets based on affinity propagation clustering (
<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Information</xref>
). Heat map intensity and DEPICT P-values correspond to the most significantly enriched gene set within the meta-gene set; meta-gene sets are listed with their database source. Annotations for the genes indicate whether the gene has OMIM annotation as underlying a disorder of skeletal growth (black and grey) and the minor allele frequency of the significant ExomeChip (EC) variant (shades of blue; if multiple variants, the lowest-frequency variant was kept). Annotations for the gene sets indicate if the gene set was also found significant for EC by PASCAL (yellow and grey) and if the gene set was found significant by DEPICT for EC only or for both EC and GWAS (purple and green).

<bold>C</bold>
) Covalent complex formation between PAPP-A and STC2 wild-type or variants R44L and M86I. Separately synthesized proteins were analyzed by PAPP-A Western blotting following incubation for 8 h. In the absence of STC2 (Mock lane), PAPP-A appears as a single 400 kDa band (*). Following incubation with wild-type STC2, the majority of PAPP-A is present as the approximately 500 kDa covalent PAPP-A:STC2 complex (#), in which PAPP-A is devoid of proteolytic activity towards IGFBP-4. Under similar conditions, incubation with variants R44L or M86I appeared to cause less covalent complex formation with PAPP-A. The gels are representative of at least three independent experiments. (
<bold>D</bold>
) PAPP-A proteolytic cleavage of IGFBP-4 following incubation with wild-type STC2 or variants for 1-24 h. Wild-type STC2 causes reduction in PAPP-A activity, with complete inhibition of activity following 24 h incubation. Both STC2 variants show increased IGFBP-4 cleavage (
<italic>i.e.</italic>
less inhibition) for all time points analyzed. Mean and standard deviations of three independent experiments are shown. One-way repeated measures analysis of variance followed by Dunnett's post-test showed significant differences between STC2 wild-type and variants R44L (
