Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.5K
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...

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%...

Polygenic Traits

70.3K
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
    • Statistical Genetics
    • Human Genomics

    Background:

    • Rare genetic variants are increasingly identified in the human genome.
    • These variants contribute to phenotypic variance in human diseases.
    • Existing methods often analyze single traits, neglecting joint trait information.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a statistical method for testing associations between rare variants and multiple human traits.
    • To account for diverse trait types including binary, ordinal, and quantitative.
    • To improve the power and robustness of rare variant association analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposed a nonparametric method called NM-RV based on generalized Kendall’s τ.
    • Introduced a novel kernel function for U-statistic to incorporate individual rare variant information.
    • Investigated the asymptotic distribution of the proposed association test statistic.

    Main Results:

    • The NM-RV method demonstrated superior power and robustness compared to existing methods.
    • The method is particularly effective for multivariate ordinal traits.
    • Simulation studies validated the performance of the proposed approach.

    Conclusions:

    • NM-RV offers a powerful and robust approach for rare variant association studies involving multiple traits.
    • The method effectively utilizes joint trait information, enhancing analytical capabilities.
    • This advancement is crucial for understanding the genetic basis of complex diseases.
