Lessons and Implications from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) Findings of Blood Cell Phenotypes
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified reproducible genetic associations with hundreds of human diseases and traits. The vast majority of these associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are non-coding, highlighting the challenge in moving from genetic findings to mechanistic and functional insights. Nevertheless, large-scale (epi)genomic studies and bioinformatic analyse...
متن کاملGenome-wide association studies (GWAS) and their importance in asthma.
Asthma is a complex disease determined by the interaction of different genes and environmental factors. The first genetic investigations in asthma were candidate gene association studies and linkage studies. In recent years research has focused on association studies that scan the entire genome without any prior conditioning hypothesis: the so-called genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The ...
متن کاملA Bayesian Graphical Model for Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS)
The present paradigm to analyze GWAS is to perform an exhausting testing of all single SNP associations with the response variable with the major drawback that the selected subset of SNPs has in general a very low predictive value. As a shift to the usual approach, we propose here a general statistical framework for GWAS based on Bayesian graphical modeling and able to: 1) Assess the joint effe...

The SNPs are then ranked based on their univariate p-values, and a threshold is set such that any SNP with a p-value below the threshold is identified as significant. Multiplicity adjustment methods, such as bonferroni, false discovery rate (FDR) can be used to...
متن کاملPlanning and executing a genome wide association study (GWAS).
In recent years, genome-wide association approaches have proven a powerful and successful strategy to identify genetic contributors to complex traits, including a number of endocrine disorders. Their success has meant that genome wide association studies (GWAS) are fast becoming the default study design for discovery of new genetic variants that influence a clinical trait or phenotype. This cha...
