Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.1K
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...

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...

Incomplete Dominance

18.6K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Behavioral Genetics and Its Designs

1.4K
Behavior genetics explores how genetic inheritance influences human behavior. It focuses on how genes, passed from parents to offspring, contribute to the development of behavioral traits and tendencies. This branch of genetics seeks to understand the complex interplay between inherited genetic factors and environmental influences in shaping our behaviors.
The primary methodologies used in behavior genetics include family studies, twin studies, and adoption studies, each providing unique...

Statistical Software for Data Analysis and Clinical Trials

1.7K
Statistical software is pivotal in data analysis and clinical trials by providing tools to analyze data, draw conclusions, and make predictions. These software packages range from simple data management applications to complex analytical platforms, supporting various statistical tests, models, and simulation techniques. Their significance lies in their ability to handle vast amounts of data with precision and efficiency, enabling researchers to validate hypotheses, identify trends, and make...

Study Design in Statistics

7.4K
A study design is a set of techniques that allow a researcher to collect and analyze data from different variables defined for a specific research problem. Statistics is commonly for effective study design and more robust experiments,
Does aspirin reduce the risk of heart attacks? Is one brand of fertilizer more effective at growing roses than another? Is fatigue as dangerous to a driver as the influence of alcohol? Questions like these are answered using randomized experiments with proper...

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Computational Biology
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Missing data significantly reduces statistical power in clinical studies.
  • Existing methods for handling missing data lack universal applicability.
  • Valid inference requires robust imputation techniques for both continuous and discrete values.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a universally applicable method for handling missing data in clinical studies.
  • To propose the Bayesian Genetic Algorithm (BGA) for effective data imputation.
  • To address the challenge of missing values in both continuous and discrete attributes.

Main Methods:

  • Development and application of the Bayesian Genetic Algorithm (BGA).
  • Utilizing a genetic algorithm and Bayesian rule for heuristic search and imputation.
  • Testing BGA on a real-world cancer dataset under Missing At Random (MAR) and Missing Completely At Random (MCAR) conditions.

Main Results:

  • BGA demonstrated effective imputation for both continuous and discrete missing values.
  • The method achieved superior classification accuracy compared to existing techniques.
  • Root Mean Square Error (RMSE%) was significantly improved, indicating enhanced data integrity.

Conclusions:

  • The Bayesian Genetic Algorithm (BGA) offers a versatile and effective solution for missing data imputation.
  • BGA enhances the reliability of statistical analyses in clinical research.
  • This approach shows promise for improving outcomes in cancer research and other fields.
