概括
研究人员将LDpred2包适应DNA甲基化得分,发现它的性能与现有方法相似. 像拓关联域这样的结构先验只为甲基化数据分析提供了边际改进.
科学领域:
- 遗传学 是一个遗传学.
- 表观遗传学 在表观遗传学中,表观遗传学是指表观遗传学.
- 计算生物学 计算生物学
背景情况:
- 多基因风险评分 (PRS) 对于使用全基因组关联研究 (GWAS) 预测疾病风险至关重要.
- LDpred2包是一个流行的工具,用于从GWAS总结统计数据中创建PRS,使用链接不平衡 (LD) 作为先决条件.
- 衡量基因基因之间的非随机关联的度量LD并不直接适用于DNA甲基化数据.
研究的目的:
- 评估LDpred2包的适应性,以从全甲基组关联研究 (MWAS) 获得DNA甲基化得分.
- 探索替代结构先验,如共甲基化区域和拓关联域 (TADs),以建模甲基化位点之间的相关性.
- 用精神分裂症和对照样本的甲基化数据评估基于LDpred2的模型的性能.
主要方法:
- 对MWAS数据的LDpred2 R包的调整.
- 实施替代结构先验:共甲基化区域,TAD和基因组滑动窗.
- 使用精神分裂症甲基化数据 (N=1,227) 的性能评估和与现有方法的比较.
主要成果:
- 使用TAD和滑窗集群作为先验的LDpred2模型显示性能与现有方法相比,解释了约3.6%的精神分裂症表型变异.
- 使用共甲基化区域的模型由于探针集群不足而表现不佳.
- 来自TAD的边际业绩增长表明,这种特定的结构优先事项的收益有限.
结论:
- LDpred2包可以适应DNA甲基化得分的导出.
- 目前的适应性并没有显著优于现有的甲基化分析方法.
- 在这种情况下,选择结构先验 (例如,TADs) 可能不是绩效的关键决定因素.

Polygenic Traits
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...
