A generalized sequential Bonferroni procedure using smoothed weights for genome-wide association studies incorporating information on Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium among cases.
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES For genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with case-control designs, one of the most widely used association tests is the Cochran-Armitage (CA) trend test assuming an additive mode of inheritance. The CA trend test often has higher power than other association tests under additive and multiplicative disease models. However, it can have very low power under a recessive dis...
متن کاملInvited commentary: Testing for Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium using a genome single-nucleotide polymorphism scan based on cases only.
Classical methods for localizing genes based on pedigrees and linkage have served well for genes that are “Mendelian,” that is, where genotype and phenotype are closely related. Geneticists now recognize that these methods do not work so well when applied to the more common, multifactorial diseases. Risch comments, “The gene mutations studied by Mendel, and those more recently discovered by pos...
متن کاملIncorporating group correlations in genome-wide association studies using smoothed group Lasso.
In genome-wide association studies, penalization is an important approach for identifying genetic markers associated with disease. Motivated by the fact that there exists natural grouping structure in single nucleotide polymorphisms and, more importantly, such groups are correlated, we propose a new penalization method for group variable selection which can properly accommodate the correlation ...
متن کاملA Bayesian characterization of Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium.
A Bayesian method for determining if there are large departures from independence between pairs of alleles at a locus, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE), is presented. We endorse the view that a population will never be exactly in HWE and that there will be occasions when there is a need for an alternative to the usual hypothesis-testing setting. Bayesian methods provide such an alternative, and...
متن کاملA test for genetic association that incorporates information about deviation from Hardy-Weinberg proportions in cases.
For assessment of genetic association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and disease status, the logistic-regression model or generalized linear model is typically employed. However, testing for deviation from Hardy-Weinberg proportion in a patient group could be another approach for genetic-association studies. The Hardy-Weinberg proportion is one of the most important principles i...
