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...

Pharmacogenomics: Identification of New Drug Targets

76
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...

Human Genetics

Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Pharmacogenetic Phenotypes: Alterations in Pharmacokinetics, Drug Targets and Biologic Milieu

109
Genetic variations significantly influence drug response through pharmacokinetics, receptor interactions, and biologic milieu modifications. Pharmacokinetic alterations impact drug metabolism and clearance, affecting efficacy and toxicity. Variants in drug-metabolizing enzymes, such as CYP2C9 and CYP2C19, alter drug activation and elimination. For example, CYP2C9 loss-of-function variants require lower warfarin doses to prevent excessive bleeding, while CYP2C19 variants reduce clopidogrel...

Polygenic Traits

70.4K
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Immunology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with complex genetic underpinnings.
  • A significant portion of psoriasis heritability remains unexplained by known genetic factors.
  • Common genetic variants with small effect sizes within biological pathways may contribute to this missing heritability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify novel genetic variations associated with psoriasis risk at the biological pathway level.
  • To investigate the role of common genetic pathways in explaining psoriasis heritability.
  • To uncover new biological mechanisms contributing to psoriasis susceptibility.

Main Methods:

  • Genome-wide pathway analysis was conducted on 598,258 single nucleotide polymorphisms in a Spanish discovery cohort (2,281 cases/controls).
  • Analysis utilized 1,053 reference biological pathways to assess genetic associations.
  • Replication analysis was performed in an independent UK cohort (7,353 individuals).

Main Results:

  • Fourteen genetic pathways were significantly associated with psoriasis risk in the discovery cohort.
  • Six of these pathways were successfully replicated in the UK cohort.
  • Novel pathways linked to psoriasis risk included retinol metabolism, inorganic ion/amino acid transport, and post-translational protein modification.
  • MGAT5 demonstrated strong network centrality within the post-translational modification pathway and was further validated.

Conclusions:

  • The study identified novel genetic pathways contributing to psoriasis susceptibility, offering insights into its complex genetic architecture.
  • These findings suggest that common genetic variants within specific biological pathways play a crucial role in explaining missing heritability in psoriasis.
  • The identified pathways, such as retinol metabolism and protein modification, represent potential new targets for understanding psoriasis pathogenesis.
