Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.5K
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...

Human Genetics

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...

Behavioral Genetics and Its Designs

329
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...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Nephrology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Longitudinal genome-wide association studies (longGWAS) are crucial for understanding trait change, but data scarcity and analytical challenges hinder progress.
  • Kidney function decline, measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), is a complex trait influenced by genetic factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify genetic variants associated with eGFR decline using longitudinal data.
  • To evaluate statistical approaches for analyzing longGWAS data.
  • To explore the relationship between eGFR genetics, aging, and clinical outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized longitudinal UK Biobank data from 348,275 individuals for creatinine-based eGFR.
  • Applied seven statistical methods, including linear mixed models, to analyze longGWAS data.
  • Performed genome-wide and candidate variant analyses for eGFR decline.

Main Results:

  • A linear mixed model was identified as a powerful and unbiased approach for longGWAS.
  • Discovered 13 independent genetic variants associated with eGFR decline, including 6 novel variants.
  • Demonstrated differential patterns between age-dependent and age-independent eGFR genetics concerning clinical traits and gene expression.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides valuable insights into the genetic underpinnings of kidney aging.
  • Linear mixed models are a viable and effective tool for longGWAS.
  • Findings contribute to understanding kidney function decline and its genetic regulation.
