Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS01:11

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...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

19.5K
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,...

Autoimmune Disorders

2.1K
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs02:26

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

19.1K
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%...

Pharmacogenomics: Identification of New Drug Targets

73
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...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Immunology
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Systemic Autoimmune Diseases present diagnostic challenges due to variable symptoms.
  • Current classification relies on clinical criteria, hindering genetic marker-based reclassification.
  • Genetic studies are often confounded by population stratification, primarily due to geographic origin.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method, SNPClust, for identifying ancestry-independent genetic variations.
  • To reduce the influence of geographic origin in genetic clustering of autoimmune diseases.
  • To improve the identification of genetic markers for reclassifying Systemic Autoimmune Diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Clustering of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) was employed.
  • SNPClust was developed to select ancestry-independent variations from Principal Component Analysis.
  • The method was applied to a Systemic Lupus Erythematosus dataset and compared with existing stratification correction methods.

Main Results:

  • SNPClust effectively reduced the ancestry signal in the dataset.
  • The method amplified the disease-discriminating signal compared to traditional approaches.
  • A higher ratio of significant genetic associations outside the HLA locus was observed with SNPClust.

Conclusions:

  • SNPClust facilitates the use of ancestry-independent genetic information for reclassifying Systemic Autoimmune Diseases.
  • This method offers a promising avenue for improving diagnostic accuracy and understanding disease heterogeneity.
  • SNPClust is available as an R package for broader research application.
