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...

Polygenic Traits

When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Multiple Regression01:25

Multiple Regression

Multiple regression assesses a linear relationship between one response or dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It has many practical applications.
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Statistical Genetics

Background:

  • Modern genotyping technologies enable dense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker data.
  • Detecting associations using multiple correlated SNPs in a target region is of significant interest.
  • Existing methods may have limitations in handling correlated genetic markers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel principal components (PCs) regression method for candidate gene association studies.
  • To address challenges posed by correlated SNPs in genetic association analyses.
  • To improve the power of association detection in candidate gene studies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized principal components (PCs) analysis to decompose genotype score variance.
  • Developed a regression approach using uncorrelated PCs as regressors.
  • Applied the method to simulated data and real genetic data.

Main Results:

  • Simulation studies indicated higher statistical power compared to some popular methods.
  • The PCs regression method effectively handles correlated SNPs.
  • A significant association between CHI3L2 gene expression and its SNPs was confirmed.

Conclusions:

  • Principal components regression is a powerful and effective method for candidate gene association studies.
  • This approach offers improved power for detecting genetic associations with multiple correlated markers.
  • The method validates previously reported associations and offers a robust analytical tool.
