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...

Principles of Pharmacogenetics: Types of Genetic Variants

88
The human genome is over 99.9% identical between individuals, yet genetic differences exist at millions of bases. The human genome contains approximately 3 million variant positions per individual, many of which are heterozygous, contributing to genetic diversity and individual traits. Genetic variations include single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, and copy number variations (CNVs).SNPs, the most common variation, involve single-base changes in DNA. These can be...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

19.2K
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%...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

19.7K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics and Genomics
  • Statistical Genetics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Empirical evidence and evolutionary theory underscore the significance of rare variants in complex trait etiology.
  • The declining cost of whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing has spurred research into rare variant association methods over the past decade.

Framework:

  • Presents a generalized linear regression framework and score statistic applicable to both burden and variance components methods for rare variant analysis.
  • Demonstrates how modifying weights within this framework unifies popular existing methods like the cohort allelic sums test and sequence kernel association test.

Implementation:

  • Surveys literature and developments from the Genetics Analysis Workshop 19 (GAW19) Collapsing Rare Variants working group.
  • Details six GAW19 contributions, including novel methods for family data, genomic structure comparison, haplotype-based meta-analysis, and permutation-based test combination.
  • Compares mega-analysis of family-based and population-based data with meta-analysis and evaluates the power of existing family-based methods for binary traits.

Implications:

  • Provides a unified perspective on existing and novel rare variant association methodologies.
  • Offers insights into the comparative performance of different analytical approaches for complex traits.
  • Identifies open research questions for future investigations in statistical genetics.
