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...
Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs02:26

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Population Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Rare variants (RVs) contribute to complex disease heritability, but their frequencies across human populations remain largely uncharacterized.
  • Understanding population-specific RV patterns is crucial for accurate genetic association studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply a novel method, BioBin, for analyzing rare variant burden across diverse human populations.
  • To investigate differences in rare variant burden between Yoruba (YRI) and European (CEU) ancestry groups using 1000 Genomes Project data.

Main Methods:

  • Developed BioBin, a flexible collapsing method integrating biological knowledge from public databases.
  • Collapsed variants by functional, evolutionary, regulatory, gene, and pathway annotations.
  • Compared rare variant burden (Minor Allele Frequency < 0.03) between YRI and CEU populations.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences in RV burden were observed across various genomic features, including gene bins (56.86%), intergenic bins (72.73%), and pathway bins (69.45%).
  • Notable differences were also found in ORegAnno annotated bins (32.36%) and conserved regions (9.10%).
  • Results indicate substantial population stratification in rare variant distribution.

Conclusions:

  • BioBin effectively identifies significant rare variant burden differences between ancestral populations.
  • Population stratification poses a considerable challenge for sequence data analyses and requires careful consideration.
  • Further research will explore regulatory regions and protein binding domains for deeper insights.
