Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.1K
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...

Bonferroni Test

3.2K
The Bonferroni test is a statistical test named after Carlo Emilio Bonferroni, an Italian mathematician best known for Bonferroni inequalities. This statistical test is a type of multiple comparison test to determine which means are different than the rest. Bonferroni test can minimize the Type 1 error by reducing the significance level alpha, which otherwise increases with sample pairs.
The means of different samples are first paired in all possible combinations.
The null hypothesis of the...

Genetic Screens

5.5K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

75.7K
Diploid organisms have two alleles of each gene, one from each parent, in their somatic cells. Therefore, each individual contributes two alleles to the gene pool of the population. The gene pool of a population is the sum of every allele of all genes within that population and has some degree of variation. Genetic variation is typically expressed as a relative frequency, which is the percentage of the total population that has a given allele, genotype or phenotype.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Statistical genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Simultaneous testing of multiple genetic variants offers advantages over single-marker association tests.
  • Principal Component Regression (PCR) is a recognized method for multi-marker analysis.
  • Challenges exist in robustly testing numerous SNPs with unknown genetic modes and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust global test for genetic association accounting for unknown genetic modes and HWE.
  • To propose a combined robust test method integrating a new global test with PCR.
  • To evaluate the power and performance of the proposed method in identifying genetic associations.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a new global test using codominant coding and PCR, based on an empirical Bayes-type score statistic.
  • The new global test leverages HWE in controls and linkage disequilibrium among markers.
  • Developed a robust test by combining the new global test with ordinary PCR, using the minimum p-value.

Main Results:

  • The new global test demonstrates power by utilizing HWE and linkage disequilibrium.
  • The proposed robust test method shows desirable power in simulations.
  • The method successfully identified association signals potentially missed by existing techniques, including in pancreatic cancer analysis.

Conclusions:

  • The developed robust test method offers improved power for multi-marker genetic association studies.
  • This approach effectively handles unknown genetic modes and HWE.
  • The method has the potential to uncover novel genetic associations in complex diseases.
