14q24 allele-specific MPRA screen

Altered regulation of DPF3, a member of the SWI/SNF complexes, underlies the 14q24 renal cancer susceptibility locus

A plasmid-based MPRA tested 39 linkage-disequilibrium-linked candidate SNPs in the 14q24 renal cell carcinoma susceptibility locus, with alternative alleles represented by barcoded forward and reverse constructs. Reporter RNA/DNA signals were modeled jointly across ACHN and HEK293T cells under normoxia and 1% oxygen hypoxia.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / untreated transfection; oxygen condition varied between normoxia and 1% O2 hypoxia

The library was part of a larger 774-variant screen and included 39 variants from 14q24. For each allele, ten forward and ten reverse oligos with unique random 10-bp barcodes were synthesized; scrambled sequences served as controls. The reporter library was transfected with Lipofectamine 3000 into ACHN renal cancer cells and HEK293T embryonic kidney cells, with normoxic and 1% O2 hypoxic conditions. Poly(A)-enriched reporter RNA and plasmid DNA barcode/vector reads were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500, and SNP-level effects were estimated by logistic regression including allele, oligo direction, cell type, and condition.

Column dictionary · 24 definitions
variant_id
dbSNP identifier for the tested variant.
chromosome
Chromosome number from the source supplemental table.
position_hg19
Variant coordinate on the hg19/GRCh37 assembly.
position_grch38
Variant coordinate on the GRCh38/hg38 assembly supplied by the source.
region
RCC susceptibility region label supplied by the source.
tested_alleles
Alleles listed by the source for the tested SNP, separated by slashes.
minor_allele
Minor allele annotation supplied by the source table.
minor_allele_frequency
Minor allele frequency supplied by the source table.
n_alleles_assayed
Number of alleles reported as assayed by the source.
alternative_allele
Allele encoded as the alternative allele in the source regression model.
allelic_pvalue
Source pAllele: p value for the allele-specific MPRA effect in the model including direction, cell type, and condition.
allelic_qvalue_bonferroni_774
Source qAllele: Bonferroni-corrected allele-effect p value across 774 tested variants.
allelic_beta
Source bAllele: regression coefficient for the allele-specific effect, with sign as reported for the alternative-allele model coding.
variance_explained
Source Var_exp: estimated fraction of MPRA signal variance explained by the allele-specific effect.
direction_pvalue
Source pDirection: p value for forward versus reverse oligo-direction effect.
direction_beta
Source bDirection: beta coefficient for oligo-direction effect.
cell_type_pvalue
Source pCellType: p value for ACHN versus HEK293T cell-type effect.
cell_type_beta
Source bCellType: beta coefficient for cell-type effect.
condition_pvalue
Source pCondition: p value for normoxia versus hypoxia condition effect.
condition_beta
Source bCondition: beta coefficient for oxygen-condition effect.
alternative_allele_effect
Interpretation of the sign of allelic_beta: higher or lower reporter activity for the modeled alternative allele.
allelic_qvalue_pass
True when the source Bonferroni-corrected allelic q value is below 0.05.
minor_allele_consistent_with_tested_alleles
True when the source minor-allele annotation appears in the source tested-alleles string; False flags a source metadata mismatch.
qc_pass
Package-level QC result; all retained rows have complete required fields, finite numeric values, valid probability/MAF ranges, and an alternative allele present in tested_alleles.

Quality control

The authors confirmed transfection efficiency above 70% with a parallel GFP transfection, checked DNase treatment by PCR with no DNA contamination detected, mapped barcode and vector sequences from paired-end reads, normalized barcode counts per 1,000,000 reads, normalized each barcode to the median of its scramble controls, and corrected SNP-level p values by Bonferroni over 774 comparisons. The processed table retains the 39 14q24 variants reported in Supplemental Table S2 because all have complete required coordinates and model statistics and pass finite-value, probability/range, and alternative-allele consistency checks. Four source minor-allele annotations do not occur in their listed tested-allele strings; these rows are retained because the MPRA effect fields are complete and the mismatch is explicitly flagged in the table.

Curation notes

This is one combined MPRA experiment because the available Table S2 reports one SNP-level regression across both ACHN and HEK293T cells, both oligo directions, and normoxia/hypoxia rather than separate stratum-level activity tables. The paper's lead result is rs4903064: the C risk allele has higher reporter expression than T in both orientations, and the source bAllele is negative because T is the modeled alternative allele. Cellosaurus identifiers are CVCL:1067 for ACHN and CVCL:0063 for HEK293T; biosample_id lists both because the experiment used both lines. The source table contains four minor-allele annotation mismatches, which are preserved and flagged rather than corrected.
