[0006] Large-scale human genetic data can improve the success rate of drug discovery and development. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) can detect associations between genetic variants and traits in population samples. GWAS can improve our understanding of disease biology and inform appropriate treatments. GWAS can utilize genotyping and / or sequencing data and often involve evaluating millions of genetic variants that are relatively evenly distributed across the genome. The most common GWAS design is a case-control study, which involves comparing variant frequencies in cases and controls. If a variant has a significantly different frequency between cases and controls, the variant is said to be associated with disease. Relevant statistics that may be used in GWAS are the p-value as an indicator of statistical significance, the odds ratio (OR) as an indicator of effect size, or the beta coefficient (β) as an indicator of effect size. Researchers often assume an additive genetic model and calculate allelic odds ratios, which indicate that each additional copy of an allele (compared to no copies of that allele) increases (or decreases) the risk of a given disease. An additional concept in the design and interpretation of GWAS is that of linkage disequilibrium, which is the non-random association of alleles. The presence of linkage disequilibrium can obscure which variants are "causative."

[0007] Functional annotation of variants and / or wet-lab experiments can pinpoint causative gene variants identified through GWAS, often leading to the identification of disease-causing genes. Understanding the functional effect of a causative gene variant (e.g., loss of protein function, gain of protein function, increased gene expression, or decreased gene expression) can allow researchers to use the variant as a surrogate for therapeutic modulation of the target gene, providing insight into the potential therapeutic efficacy and safety of therapeutics that modulate that target.

[0008] Identifying such gene-disease associations provides insights into disease biology and can be used to identify novel therapeutic targets for the pharmaceutical industry. To translate therapeutic insights gained from human genetics, disease biology in patients may be exogenously "programmed" to recapitulate observations from human genetics. There are several potential therapeutic modalities that can be added when applying therapeutic targets identified through human genetics to new drugs. These may include well-established therapeutic modalities such as small molecules and monoclonal antibodies, mature modalities such as oligonucleotides, and newer modalities such as gene therapy and gene editing. The choice of therapeutic modality may depend on several factors, including the location of the target (e.g., intracellular, extracellular, or secreted), the relevant tissue (e.g., liver, brain, or nervous tissue), and the relevant indication.

[0009] The fibrinogen gamma chain gene, also known as the fibrinogen gamma gene (FGG), is located on chromosome 4 and encodes the fibrinogen gamma chain (also called the FGG protein). The FGG protein may be the gamma component of fibrinogen. The FGG protein may contain 453 amino acids and have a mass of approximately 51.5 kDa. An example FGG amino acid sequence and further description of FGG are included at uniprot.org under accession number P02679 (last updated September 29, 2021).

[0010] Here, we have shown that genetic variants resulting in the inactivation of FGG confer protective associations against psychiatric and neurological phenotypes. Therefore, inhibition of FGG may serve as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of psychiatric diseases and disorders such as depressive disorders (e.g., major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, treatment-resistant depression, or signs and symptoms of depression), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, substance use disorders, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, as well as neurological diseases and disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, dementia, delirium, cognitive decline, vascular dementia, headache, migraine, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome (e.g., myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)), or motor neuron diseases (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).

[0011] Disclosed herein is a composition comprising an oligonucleotide that targets FGG.When disclosed about inhibiting or targeting FGG, it is contemplated that some embodiments may include inhibiting or targeting FGG protein or FGG RNA.For example, by using the oligonucleotide described herein to inhibit or target the RNA (e.g., mRNA) encoded by FGG gene, FGG protein can be inhibited or targeted, resulting in less FGG protein being produced by translation of FGG RNA, or FGG protein can be targeted or inhibited by an oligonucleotide that binds or interacts with FGG RNA and reduces the production of FGG protein from FGG RNA.Therefore, targeting FGG can refer to the binding of FGG RNA and the reduction of FGG RNA or protein levels.The oligonucleotide can include small interfering RNA (siRNA) or antisense oligonucleotide (ASO).

[0012] Also provided herein are methods for treating mental disorders, such as psychiatric or neurological disorders or diseases, by providing or administering an oligonucleotide targeting FGG to a subject in need thereof. Administration of the oligonucleotide to the subject may improve psychiatric-related traits, such as the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) (e.g., the scale ranges from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating worsening depressive symptoms), the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 17-item (e.g., the scale ranges from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating worsening depressive symptoms), symptoms and signs of anxiety disorders, symptoms and signs of eating disorders, symptoms and signs of substance use disorders, symptoms and signs of post-traumatic stress disorder, symptoms and signs of bipolar disorder, symptoms and signs of schizophrenia, or symptoms and signs of psychosis. Furthermore, administration of an oligonucleotide to a subject may improve neurologically related traits such as cognitive function, amyloid plaques (e.g., accumulation) in the CNS, tau accumulation in the CNS, beta amyloid 42 (e.g., accumulation) in the CSF, tau (e.g., accumulation) in the CSF, phosphorylated tau (e.g., accumulation) in the CSF, Lewy bodies (e.g., accumulation), alpha synuclein (e.g., accumulation) in the CSF, headache symptoms and signs, migraine symptoms and signs, chronic pain symptoms and signs, fibromyalgia symptoms and signs, chronic fatigue syndrome (ME) symptoms and signs, or motor neuron disease (e.g., ALS) symptoms or signs.

[0020] The composition may treat coagulation disorders or blood clotting disorders. The composition may treat thrombophilia. The composition may affect coagulation or clotting time. In some embodiments, the composition comprises an oligonucleotide that reduces fibrinogen. Given that significant knockdown of FGG may lead to prolonged clotting time (e.g., PT, INR, or aPTT) in some cases, FGG siRNA compositions may be useful as anticoagulants, such as for treating or preventing blood coagulation disorders or clotting disorders (e.g., venous thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation). For blood coagulation disorders or clotting disorders, it is useful to significantly reduce fibrinogen sufficiently to prolong clotting time to clinically meaningful levels for these indications. Data are provided herein showing that administration of FGG siRNA can result in knockdown of FGG. Knockdown of FGG can result in reduced circulating fibrinogen. Reduced circulating fibrinogen can result in increased PT, INR, and aPTT. Thus, the compound may be useful for reducing coagulation. Some embodiments relate to compositions comprising oligonucleotides that target FGG and that, when administered to a subject in an effective amount, reduce fibrinogen.
