Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS01:11

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...
Sex Linked Disorders01:43

Sex Linked Disorders

Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

Modern Molecular Taxonomy

Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs01:05

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Area of Science:

  • Human genetics
  • Population genetics
  • Statistical genetics

Background:

  • The HapMap Project provides detailed human haplotype structure data.
  • Haplotype information can increase the efficiency of association mapping.
  • Existing methods identify haplotype blocks and tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel methods for case-control multipoint linkage-disequilibrium (LD) mapping using inferred haplotype block structure.
  • To enhance the power and speed of LD mapping by explicitly utilizing block information.
  • To improve the detection and localization of disease-associated variants, including untyped ones.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a virtual-variant approach utilizing haplotype-block information to boost power for detecting untyped variants.
  • Created a fast single-block multipoint mapping method by exploiting haplotype-block structure to address computational speed limitations.
  • Methods are designed for genotype data, accounting for phase uncertainty, and applicable to case-parent trios or unrelated cases and controls.

Main Results:

  • Significant gains in power to detect association with untyped variants.
  • Greatly improved localization accuracy for untyped variants associated with traits.
  • Moderate improvements in detecting association with typed variants with missing data.

Conclusions:

  • Explicitly using haplotype block structure in multipoint LD mapping analysis substantially increases power and precision for identifying associated variants.
  • The developed methods offer a powerful and efficient approach for genetic association studies, particularly for complex diseases.
  • Application to a Crohn disease dataset demonstrates the practical utility of these novel mapping strategies.
