Genetic Screens

5.4K
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...

Gene-Environment Interactions01:20

Gene-Environment Interactions

918
Gene expression is a dynamic process that is significantly influenced by environmental factors. This interaction underlies the complex nature of biological development and the phenotypic differences observed among individuals, even among those with identical genetic makeups. Factors such as radiation, temperature, behavior, nutrition, and stress play pivotal roles in determining how genes are expressed. The concept of the reaction range is central to understanding this interaction. It posits...

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

7.2K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Statistical Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Complex human diseases arise from interactions between genetic and environmental factors.
  • Existing gene-environment interaction (GEI) methods are computationally intensive for large biobank-scale sequencing studies with related individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Mixed-model Association tests for GEne-Environment interactions (MAGEE), an efficient method for GEI analysis in large-scale sequencing studies.
  • To enable scalable testing of GEI between aggregate genetic variant sets and environmental exposures on various traits in related individuals.

Main Methods:

  • MAGEE utilizes a single fitting of a null generalized linear mixed model to reduce computational burden for whole-genome GEI analysis.
  • Score tests combine genetic burden and variance component tests using matrix projections to account for genetic main effects.
  • The method is designed for scalability to hundreds of thousands of individuals.

Main Results:

  • MAGEE significantly reduces computational complexity for whole-genome GEI analyses.
  • The method was successfully applied to UK Biobank exome sequencing data (41,144 individuals).
  • Analysis of 18,970 protein-coding genes was completed within 10.4 CPU hours.

Conclusions:

  • MAGEE provides an efficient and scalable solution for gene-environment interaction analysis in large biobank studies.
  • The method facilitates the investigation of genetic and environmental influences on complex diseases in large, related cohorts.
