Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.3K
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...

Identification of Disease-related Spatial Covariance Patterns using Neuroimaging Data

16.2K
Multivariate techniques including principal component analysis (PCA) have been used to identify signature patterns of regional change in functional brain images. We have developed an algorithm to identify reproducible network biomarkers for the diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders, assessment of disease progression, and objective evaluation of treatment effects in patient...

Pattern-based Search of Epigenomic Data Using GeNemo

5.4K
Unlike DNA sequence data, epigenomic data are not readily subjected to text-based searches. Presented here are the procedures to use an upgraded version of GeNemo, a web-based bioinformatics tool, to conduct pattern-based searches for similarities in epigenomic data comparing available online databases including Encyclopedia of DNA Elements with user's...

A Novel Bayesian Change-point Algorithm for Genome-wide Analysis of Diverse ChIPseq Data Types

11.7K
Our Bayesian Change Point (BCP) algorithm builds on state-of-the-art advances in modeling change-points via Hidden Markov Models and applies them to chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIPseq) data analysis. BCP performs well in both broad and punctate data types, but excels in accurately identifying robust, reproducible islands of diffuse histone...

    Summary

    Multiple imputation (MI) methods improve statistical power for epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) with missing covariate data. Dividing genomic sites into random bins enhances computational efficiency and reduces bias in EWAS analyses.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Biostatistics
    • Computational Biology

    Background:

    • Missing data in covariates can reduce statistical power and introduce bias in epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS).
    • Traditional multiple imputation (MI) methods are computationally intensive for high-dimensional data like DNA methylation, often necessitating complete-case analyses.
    • Complete-case analysis limits statistical power and may not accurately represent the full dataset.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the performance of five multiple imputation (MI) methods for handling missing covariate data in high-dimensional EWAS.
    • To evaluate the impact of different imputation strategies on statistical power, computational efficiency, and bias.
    • To identify optimal MI approaches for EWAS with missing covariate data.

    Main Methods:

    • Simulations were conducted to compare five MI methods under two missingness mechanisms using high-dimensional data.
    • Methods included complete-case (C-C) analysis, imputation of individual variables, random binning of sites, and imputation using C-C identified subsets.
    • The performance was assessed based on statistical power, bias, and computational efficiency.

    Main Results:

    • All tested MI methods demonstrated increased statistical power compared to C-C analyses.
    • Randomly dividing genomic sites into evenly sized bins improved computational efficiency and resulted in low bias.
    • Imputation methods relying solely on C-C identified subsets introduced bias towards the null, which was mitigated by incorporating these subsets into random bins.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimized MI methods significantly increase power and identify additional associated sites in EWAS with missing covariate data compared to C-C analyses.
    • Random binning strategies offer a computationally efficient and less biased approach for MI in high-dimensional EWAS.
    • These MI approaches are broadly applicable to other high-dimensional -omics studies facing missing data challenges.
