[0015] Large-scale human genetic data can improve the success rate of pharmaceutical discovery and development. A Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) may detect associations between genetic variants and traits in a population sample. A GWAS may enable better understanding of the biology of disease and provide applicable treatments. A GWAS can utilize genotyping and / or sequencing data, and often involves an evaluation of millions of genetic variants that are relatively evenly distributed across the genome. The most common GWAS design is the case-control study, which involves comparing variant frequencies in cases versus controls. If a variant has a significantly different frequency in cases versus controls, that variant is said to be associated with disease. Association statistics that may be used in a GWAS are p-values, as a measure of statistical significance; odds ratios (OR), as a measure of effect size; or beta coefficients (beta), as a measure of effect size. Researchers often assume an additive genetic model and calculate an allelic odds ratio, which is the increased (or decreased) risk of disease conferred by each additional copy of an allele (compared to carrying no copies of that allele). An additional concept in design and interpretation of GWAS is that of linkage disequilibrium, which is the non-random association of alleles. The presence of linkage disequilibrium can obfuscate which variant is “causal.”
[0016] Functional annotation of variants and / or wet lab experimentation can identify the causal genetic variant identified via GWAS, and in many cases may lead to the identification of disease-causing genes. In particular, understanding the functional effect of a causal genetic variant (for example, loss of protein function, gain of protein function, increase in gene expression, or decrease in gene expression) may allow that variant to be used as a proxy for therapeutic modulation of the target gene, or to gain insight into potential therapeutic efficacy and safety of a therapeutic that modulates that target.
[0017] Identification of such gene-disease associations has provided insights into disease biology and may be used to identify novel therapeutic targets for the pharmaceutical industry. In order to translate the therapeutic insights derived from human genetics, disease biology in patients may be exogenously ‘programmed’ into replicating the observation from human genetics. There are several potential options for therapeutic modalities that may be brought to bear in translating therapeutic targets identified via human genetics into novel medicines. These may include well established therapeutic modalities such as small molecules and monoclonal antibodies, maturing modalities such as oligonucleotides, and emerging modalities such as gene therapy and gene editing. The choice oftherapeutic modality can depend on several factors including the location of a target (for example, intracellular, extracellular, or secreted), a relevant tissue (for example, brain) and a relevant indication.
[0018] The MTRES1 gene is located on chromosome 6 and encodes mitochondrial transcription rescue factor 1 (MTRES1), also known as chromosome 6 open reading frame 203 (C6orf203). The MTRES1 gene may also be referred to as the C6orf203 gene. MTRES1 may include 240 amino acids (encoded by ENST00000311381, SEQ ID NO 827). MTRES1 may include 245 amino acids (encoded by ENST00000625458, SEQ ID NO 828). MTRES1 may include 240 amino acids (encoded by ENST00000405204, SEQ ID NO 865). MTRES1 may be expressed in neural cells. MTRES1 may be cytoplasmic or intracellular. MTRES1 may be localized in mitochondria within the cell. MTRES1 may be involved in mitochondrial transcription regulation. MTRES1 may be involved in mitochondrial translation regulation. An example of a MTRES1 amino acid sequence, and further description of MTRES1 is included at uniprot.org under accession no. Q9P0P8 (last modified October 1, 2000). In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide described herein specifically targets ENST00000625458 without targeting ENST00000311381 or ENST00000405204.
[0019] MTRES1 RNA expression is often higher in mitochondria-rich tissues such as skeletal muscle, heart, liver, kidney, adrenal cortex, and brain. MTRES1 RNA may be expressed throughout the brain, with an average expression of 24 nTPM across all regions. Expression is generally higher within the cerebral cortex (nTPM=35.7), with highest expression within the prefrontal cortex. Within the prefrontal cortex, highest expression may be in the dorsomedial and dorsolateral regions. MTRES1 protein may also be detectable in the cortex, cerebellum, hippocampus and caudate, particularly within neuronal cells. Within neuronal cells, MTRES1 was found to have the highest levels of expression in astrocytes, neurons, and oligodendrocytes, with lower but measurable expression in microglia, endothelial cells, and fetal astrocytes.
[0020] Here it is shown that loss-of-function M77W.S7 variants may protect against neurological diseases. For example, a loss-of-function MTRES1 variant was associated with protective associations against Alzheimer’s disease, family history of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, vascular dementia, anticholinesterase medication use, and delirium. Therefore, modulation of MTRES1 may serve as a therapeutic for treatment of a neurological disorder such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, delirium, cognitive decline, vascular dementia, or Parkinson’s disease.
[0021] Disclosed herein are compositions comprising an oligonucleotide that targets MTRES1. Where inhibition or targeting of MTRES1 is disclosed, it is contemplated that some embodiments may include inhibiting or targeting a MTRES1 protein or MTRES1 RNA. For example, by inhibiting or targeting an RNA (e.g., mRNA) encoded by theMTRESl gene using an oligonucleotide described herein, the MTRES1 protein may be inhibited or targeted as a result of there being less production of the MTRES1 protein by translation of the MTRES1 RNA; or a MTRES1 protein may be targeted or inhibited by an oligonucleotide that binds or interacts with a MTRES1 RNA and reduces production of the MTRES1 protein from the MTRES1 RNA. Thus, targeting MTRES1 may refer to binding aMTRES1 RNA and reducing MTRES1 RNA or protein levels. The oligonucleotide may include a small interfering RNA (siRNA) or an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO). Also provided herein are methods of treating a neurological disorder by providing an oligonucleotide that targets MTRES1 to a subject in need thereof.
[0022] In certain aspects, disclosed herein is a method of treating a subject having a neurological disorder, comprising administering an effective amount of the siRNAs disclosed herein to the subject. In some embodiments, disclosed herein is a method of treating a subject having a neurological disorder or who is at risk for developing the neurological disorder, the method comprising evaluating a subject’s risk for developing a neurological disorder and administering an effective amount of the siRNAs disclosed herein to the subject. In some embodiments, the subject has a genotype at risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. In some embodiments, the subject is a heterozygous or homozygous carrier of APOE4. In some embodiments, the subject is a heterozygous or homozygous carrier of MTRES1 rsll7058816-G (C.3+1G). In some embodiments, evaluating a subject’s risk for developing a neurological disorder comprises calculating a polygenic risk score for developing Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. In some embodiments, the subject has a polygenic risk score in the 40thpercentile or higher, which is indicative of a high risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. In some embodiments, the subject has a polygenic risk score in the 20thpercentile or higher, which is indicative of a high risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. In some embodiments, calculating a polygenic risk score comprises providing genomic data comprising one or more genotypes of the subject, wherein the one or more genotypes is associated with a high risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.I.

The hybridization may be performed by incubating the sense and antisense strands in solution at a given temperature. The temperature may be gradually reduced. The temperature may comprise or include a temperature comprising an annealing temperature for the sense and antisense strands. The temperature may be below or include a temperature below the annealing temperature for the sense and antisense strands.
