Population-based genome-wide association studies (GWAS) normally require a large sample size, which can be labor intensive and costly. Recently, we reported a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) array-based GWAS method, identifying NDUFA4 as a host factor for Zika virus (ZIKV) infection. In this study, we extended our analysis to trophectoderm cells, which constitute one of the major routes of mother-to-fetus transmission of ZIKV during pregnancy. We differentiated hiPSCs from various donors into trophectoderm cells. We then infected cells carrying loss of function mutations in NDUFA4, harboring risk versus non-risk alleles of SNPs (rs917172 and rs12386620) or having deletions in the NDUFA4 cis-regulatory region with ZIKV. We found that loss/reduction of NDUFA4 suppressed ZIKV infection in trophectoderm cells. This study validated our published hiPSC array-based system as a useful platform for GWAS and confirmed the role of NDUFA4 as a susceptibility locus for ZIKV in disease-relevant trophectoderm cells.
