Allelic heterogeneity in genetic association meta-analysis: an application to DTNBP1 and schizophrenia.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Meta-analysis of genetic association studies is a useful approach when individual investigations do not yield studywise significant results but the evidence across studies is modest and homogeneous. Current meta-analysis methods account for heterogeneity by down-weighting studies as a function of between-study variance. We contend that current approaches may obscure interesting ...
متن کاملIdentifying systematic heterogeneity patterns in genetic association meta-analysis studies
Progress in mapping loci associated with common complex diseases or quantitative inherited traits has been expedited by large-scale meta-analyses combining information across multiple studies, assembled through collaborative networks of researchers. Participating studies will usually have been independently designed and implemented in unique settings that are potential sources of phenotype, anc...
متن کاملgenetic polymorphisms in matrix metalloproteinases -1 and -7 and susceptibility to gastric cancer: an association study and meta-analysis.
matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) play an important role in gastric cancer (gc). accumulated evidence suggests that functional mmp-1 and mmp-7 gene polymorphisms are associated with several tumors. the aim of this study was to investigate two single nucleotide polymorphisms, mmp-1 -1607 1g/2g and mmp-7 -181 a/g, and their potential relationship with gc. we examined 246 gc patients and 252 age-a...
متن کاملComparative Linkage Meta-Analysis Reveals Regionally-Distinct, Disparate Genetic Architectures: Application to Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia
New high-throughput, population-based methods and next-generation sequencing capabilities hold great promise in the quest for common and rare variant discovery and in the search for "missing heritability." However, the optimal analytic strategies for approaching such data are still actively debated, representing the latest rate-limiting step in genetic progress. Since it is likely a majority of...
متن کاملAssociation between netrin G1 genetic variation and schizophrenia: a meta-analysis
Objective: Previous researches have reported that netrin G1 gene polymorphisms was associated with schizophrenia risk, but the results are inconsistent. Consequently, we implemented a meta-analysis to reveal the connection between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs1373336, rs2218404 and rs4132604) in NTNG1 gene and schizophrenia. Methods: Eligible case-control literatures that were ...
