Genetics

Under the direction of Dr. Kaarina Kowalec and funded by Brain Canada, the position is responsible for the performance of data analyses related to a recently funded project on using human genetic to better understand brain and cognitive reserve in multiple sclerosis. Contributions of brain reserve and cognitive reserve to disease outcomes are incompletely understood in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Individual variability in reserve contributes to variability in vulnerability to clinical impairment from disease. Reserve is the ability to tolerate age-related changes and disease-related pathology without developing symptoms. Brain reserve is a term applied to the concept of “neurobiological capital” or structural capacity and can be operationalized in measures such as intracranial volume, which reflects maximal brain volume. Cognitive reserve is conceptualized as operational capacity and the adaptability of cognitive processes that reflect the interaction of innate individual differences and effects of lifetime exposures (e.g., education, cognitively enriching activities). Those with more cognitive reserve will have less impairment than predicted based on age and disease pathology at one point in time and over time. Understanding reserve is important for prognostication and therapy development. The factors known to affect reserve are limited; genetic contributions of non-MS traits to reserve in MS have not been considered and may clarify how much reserve is potentially modifiable. Our overall objective is to characterize the contribution of polygenic scores (PGS) - an individuals’ cumulative genetic load for traits – to brain and cognitive reserve in MS. This work will support our overall goal of advancing the understanding of factors involved in promoting brain health in MS and its outcomes will provide important tools for “precision medicine” in MS. This work will involve using three databases from Manitoba, the USA (“CombiRx clinical trial”) and the UK (United Kingdom Biobank or UKBB).
