Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.6K
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...

Hardy-Weinberg Principle01:49

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

77.4K
Diploid organisms have two alleles of each gene, one from each parent, in their somatic cells. Therefore, each individual contributes two alleles to the gene pool of the population. The gene pool of a population is the sum of every allele of all genes within that population and has some degree of variation. Genetic variation is typically expressed as a relative frequency, which is the percentage of the total population that has a given allele, genotype or phenotype.

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

7.2K
Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Statistical Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Genomewide association studies (GWAS) commonly use linear mixed models (LMMs).
  • Existing LMMs face challenges with genomic background noise and low statistical power post-Bonferroni correction.
  • These limitations hinder the accurate identification of genetic variants associated with complex traits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address limitations in current GWAS methods.
  • To introduce a novel empirical Bayes (EB) method for enhanced genetic association analysis.
  • To improve the detection of genetic markers for complex traits.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed an empirical Bayes (EB) method utilizing normal prior distributions for marker effects.
  • Implemented a shrinkage estimation approach to reduce non-associated marker effects.
  • Introduced an 'effective number of tests' for Bonferroni correction to manage multiple comparisons.

Main Results:

  • The EB method effectively shrinks marker effects, reducing genomic background noise.
  • Simulation studies demonstrated significantly increased statistical power compared to GEMMA and FaST-LMM-Select.
  • Real data analysis in human breast cancer revealed improved detection of known associated markers.

Conclusions:

  • The empirical Bayes (EB) method offers a powerful and valuable tool for GWAS.
  • This approach enhances statistical power and reduces noise, improving the identification of genetic associations.
  • EB method facilitates a more accurate understanding of the genetic architecture of complex traits.
