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...

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation

1.5K
This lesson introduces two critical methods in pharmacokinetics, the Wagner-Nelson and Loo-Riegelman methods, used for estimating the absorption rate constant (ka) for drugs administered via non-intravenous routes. The Wagner-Nelson method relates ka to the plasma concentration derived from the slope of a semilog percent unabsorbed time plot. However, it is limited to drugs with one-compartment kinetics and can be impacted by factors like gastrointestinal motility or enzymatic degradation.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

14.6K
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,...

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

8.2K
Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.
These groups modify specific amino acids in a protein....

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Distributed Parameter Models

333
Pharmacokinetic models are mathematical constructs that represent and predict the time course of drug concentrations in the body, providing meaningful pharmacokinetic parameters. These models are categorized into compartment, physiological, and distributed parameter models.
The distributed parameter models are specifically designed to account for variations and differences in some drug classes. This model is particularly useful for assessing regional concentrations of anticancer or...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Systems Biology

Background:

  • Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are crucial for understanding genetic links to disease.
  • Integrating biological pathway knowledge enhances GWAS accuracy.
  • Existing methods often fail to account for the directionality (positive/negative effects) of gene interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for identifying disease-related genes by incorporating biological network information.
  • To address limitations in current methods by considering both the magnitude and direction of gene effects.
  • To improve the identification of genetic variants associated with complex diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a new network-constrained regularization method using the Laplacian of absolute coefficient values.
  • Incorporated an L1 norm term to enforce sparsity in gene selection.
  • Developed an efficient algorithm to compute the entire solution path.
  • Validated the method through simulation studies and application to Alzheimer's disease microarray data.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method demonstrated superior performance compared to existing network-constrained regularization techniques without absolute values.
  • Application to Alzheimer's disease data identified significant subnetworks within Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways.
  • Identified subnetworks are strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease progression.

Conclusions:

  • The novel method effectively integrates biological network information and gene interaction effects for disease gene discovery.
  • The findings provide new insights into the genetic architecture of Alzheimer's disease.
  • The approach holds promise for advancing genetic association studies in complex diseases.
