Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.2K
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...

Genomics

39.4K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Pleiotropy01:33

Pleiotropy

43.0K
Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...

Polygenic Traits01:18

Polygenic Traits

68.7K
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...

Human Genetics

1.3K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Identifying genes associated with genetic diseases is crucial for understanding disease mechanisms and developing targeted therapies.
  • Existing methods for disease gene association often face challenges in integrating diverse biological data and complex network structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel hybrid approach for disease gene association using a multi-objective genetic algorithm.
  • To improve the accuracy and flexibility of identifying disease-related genes by integrating various biological network data.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a multi-objective genetic algorithm incorporating centrality measures from biological networks.
  • Development of a new exchange methodology, safe dealer-based crossover, for the genetic algorithm.
  • Application and comparison of the methodology to breast cancer, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease datasets.

Main Results:

  • The hybrid approach demonstrated successful disease gene association for breast cancer and Parkinson's disease, outperforming previous techniques.
  • Shortest path-based measures (stress and betweenness) consistently yielded the strongest results across all case studies.
  • The novel crossover technique proved particularly effective when applied to Alzheimer's disease.

Conclusions:

  • The developed hybrid methodology offers a flexible and effective tool for disease gene association across multiple complex diseases.
  • Network-based centrality measures, particularly stress and betweenness, are highly valuable for identifying disease-related genes.
  • The new crossover technique shows promise for enhancing genetic algorithm performance in biological network analysis.
