Genetic Screens

4.6K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Epistasis Analysis

4.9K
Although Mendel chose seven unrelated traits in peas to study gene segregation, most traits involve multiple gene interactions that create a spectrum of phenotypes. When the interaction of various genes or alleles at different locations influences a phenotype, this is called epistasis. Epistasis often involves one gene masking or interfering with the expression of another (antagonistic epistasis). Epistasis often occurs when different genes are part of the same biochemical pathway. The...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.6K
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...

Principles of Pharmacogenetics: Types of Genetic Variants

138
The human genome is over 99.9% identical between individuals, yet genetic differences exist at millions of bases. The human genome contains approximately 3 million variant positions per individual, many of which are heterozygous, contributing to genetic diversity and individual traits. Genetic variations include single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, and copy number variations (CNVs).SNPs, the most common variation, involve single-base changes in DNA. These can be...

Pharmacogenomics: Identification of New Drug Targets

121
Advances in genomics have profoundly influenced drug discovery by increasing both the speed and accuracy of pharmaceutical development. Pharmacogenomics, which examines how genetic variation influences drug response, facilitates the identification of novel therapeutic targets and enables patient stratification for personalized treatment. These strategies contribute to improved drug efficacy, minimized adverse effects, and more efficient clinical trial design.Mapping genetic differences...

Summary

A new method, Trait-based Association Test that uses Extended Simes procedure (TATES), enhances the detection of genetic variants influencing complex traits. TATES offers higher statistical power than traditional univariate and other multivariate approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Statistical Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) typically use univariate analyses, reducing complex traits to single scores, which can decrease the power to detect causal genetic variants.
  • Existing multivariate genotype-phenotype methods have limitations in power and applicability across diverse models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce TATES (Trait-based Association Test that uses Extended Simes procedure), a novel multivariate method designed to improve the detection of genetic variants associated with complex traits.
  • To evaluate the performance of TATES compared to existing univariate and multivariate methods.

Main Methods:

  • TATES combines p-values from univariate GWAS for each trait component, correcting for inter-component correlations to yield a single, trait-based p-value.
  • The method was assessed using extensive simulations across various genotype-phenotype models.

Main Results:

  • TATES demonstrated a correct false positive rate in simulations.
  • TATES showed significantly higher statistical power (2.5-9 times) than univariate composite scores and (1.5-2 times) than standard MANOVA for detecting variants explaining 0.5% of variance.
  • TATES identifies both shared and unique genetic variants across multiple phenotypes.

Conclusions:

  • TATES provides a more comprehensive understanding of the genetic architecture of complex traits by detecting both shared and specific genetic variants.
  • As an open-source program, TATES offers a powerful and flexible multivariate strategy for identifying novel causal variants, overcoming limitations posed by trait complexity.
