Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

13.9K
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...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

17.9K
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%...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics and Genomics
  • Statistical Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Gene-based association tests complement single-marker tests in genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
  • Current methods often use predetermined weights, limiting power when causal variant effects are unknown.
  • Limited access to individual-level data necessitates methods using publicly available GWAS summary statistics.

Conclusions:

  • OWC is a novel gene-based association test that adaptively weights genetic variants.
  • The proposed test demonstrates superior performance in simulations and real-world GWAS data analyses.
  • OWC offers a powerful and flexible tool for genetic association studies using summary statistics.
