#paper doi:10.1371/journal.pgen.1010404 PLOS Genetics, 2022, Analysis of low-level somatic mosaicism reveals stage and tissue-specific mutational features in human development. 这篇文章纳入了来自190人的498个样本,包括神经疾病患者、脑肿瘤患者和健康对照,样本类型包括外周血及脑、心脏、肝脏等组织,对这些样本进行配对的全外显子测序(平均深度~500x),研究各样本的体细胞突变,以及它们在不同组织类型和不同发育阶段的分布情况,以及突变特征差异。对这些突变,还采取Sanger和靶向扩增超高深度测序等方法进行验证,对于突变在不同类型细胞的分布,也使用了流式细胞术进行了验证。分析方法上都比较常规,但作为一套数百例不同组织部位的深度全外显子数据,以及它所描述的体细胞突变的分布,还是比较有重分析挖掘的价值的。

Analysis of low-level somatic mosaicism reveals stage and tissue-specific mutational features in human development

Abstract:
Most somatic mutations that arise during normal development are present at low levels in single or multiple tissues depending on the developmental stage and affected organs. However, the effect of human developmental stages or mutations of different organs on the features of somatic mutations is still unclear. Here, we performed a systemic and comprehensive analysis of low-level somatic mutations using deep whole-exome sequencing (average read depth ~500×) of 498 multiple organ tissues with matched controls from 190 individuals. Our results showed that early clone-forming mutations shared between multiple organs were lower in number but showed higher allele frequencies than late clone-forming mutations [0.54 vs. 5.83 variants per individual; 6.17% vs. 1.5% variant allele frequency (VAF)] along with less nonsynonymous mutations and lower functional impacts. Additionally, early and late clone-forming mutations had unique mutational signatures that were distinct from mutations that originated from tumors. Compared with early clone-forming mutations that showed a clock-like signature across all organs or tissues studied, late clone-forming mutations showed organ, tissue, and cell-type specificity in the mutation counts, VAFs, and mutational signatures. In particular, analysis of brain somatic mutations showed a bimodal occurrence and temporal-lobe-specific signature. These findings provide new insights into the features of somatic mosaicism that are dependent on developmental stage and brain regions.
