- 应用了严格的 (p < 1 × 10−5) 和不那么严格的 (r < 0.05) 值来识别因果代谢物.
主要成果:
- 在严格的值下 (r < 0.01),发现3种代谢物因果影响PCOS (2-tetradecenoyl carnitine,threitol,1-docosahexaenoylglycerophosphocholine) 和2种受PCOS的影响 (阿斯巴拉丁,芬氨酸).
- 一个不那么严格的值 (r < 0.05) 确定了7种与PCOS相关的额外代谢物 (转-4-基烯,谷氨酸卡尼丁,稳氨酸,无酸,7-霍卡,N-乙氨酸,2-基基酸).
结论:

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
13.5K
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.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs
15.2K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...
