Background and Environment Affect Phenotype02:27

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

6.6K
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...

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.0K
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...

Epistasis Analysis01:09

Epistasis Analysis

5.1K
Although Mendel chose seven unrelated traits in peas to study gene segregation, most traits involve multiple gene interactions that create a spectrum of phenotypes. When the interaction of various genes or alleles at different locations influences a phenotype, this is called epistasis. Epistasis often involves one gene masking or interfering with the expression of another (antagonistic epistasis). Epistasis often occurs when different genes are part of the same biochemical pathway. The...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

13.6K
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...

Behavioral Genetics and Its Designs01:23

Behavioral Genetics and Its Designs

407
Behavior genetics explores how genetic inheritance influences human behavior. It focuses on how genes, passed from parents to offspring, contribute to the development of behavioral traits and tendencies. This branch of genetics seeks to understand the complex interplay between inherited genetic factors and environmental influences in shaping our behaviors.
The primary methodologies used in behavior genetics include family studies, twin studies, and adoption studies, each providing unique...

Human Genetics01:28

Human Genetics

611
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:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Population-scale biobanks linked to electronic health records (EHRs) offer significant potential for advancing human genetics research.
  • These biobanks are crucial for discovering novel phenotype-genotype associations and conducting large-scale replication studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Phenotype-Genotype Reference Map (PGRM) for high-throughput replication of genetic associations.
  • To standardize phenotypes using phecodes for enhanced interoperability across diverse biobanks.
  • To explore factors influencing the replicability of genome-wide association study (GWAS) results.

Main Methods:

  • Compiled a reference map (PGRM) of 5,879 genetic associations from 523 GWAS publications.
  • Standardized all phenotypes within the PGRM to phecodes for consistent data representation.
  • Applied the PGRM to five ancestry-specific cohorts from four independent biobanks for replication analysis.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated robust replications of genetic associations across a broad spectrum of phenotypes in multiple biobanks.
  • Showcased the PGRM's utility in detecting data corruption and optimizing parameters for phenome-wide association studies.
  • Identified key factors influencing the replicability of GWAS findings.

Conclusions:

  • The PGRM serves as a valuable resource for high-throughput replication of genetic associations in biobank data.
  • Standardized phenotypes via phecodes are essential for cross-biobank data integration and analysis.
  • The PGRM facilitates empirical assessment of data quality and understanding of GWAS result replicability.
