Comparison of Population-Based Association Study Methods Correcting for Population Stratification
Population stratification can cause spurious associations in population-based association studies. Several statistical methods have been proposed to reduce the impact of population stratification on population-based association studies. We simulated a set of stratified populations based on the real haplotype data from the HapMap ENCODE project, and compared the relative power, type I error rate...
متن کاملCase-control association tests correcting for population stratification.
In case-control association studies unobserved population stratification may act as a confounder, leading to an increased number of false positive results. Methods accounting for population structure by using additional genetic markers broadly follow one of two concepts: Genomic Control (GC) and Structured Association (SA). While extending existing methods of Structured Association we show that...
متن کاملDetecting association in a case-control study while correcting for population stratification.
Case-control studies are subject to the problem of population stratification, which can occur in ethnically mixed populations and can lead to significant associations being detected at loci that have nothing to do with disease. Here, we describe a way to measure and correct for stratification by genotyping a moderate number of unlinked genetic markers in the same set of cases and controls in wh...
متن کاملComparison of methods for correcting population stratification in a genome-wide association study of rheumatoid arthritis: principal-component analysis versus multidimensional scaling
Population stratification (PS) represents a major challenge in genome-wide association studies. Using the Genetic Analysis Workshop 16 Problem 1 data, which include samples of rheumatoid arthritis patients and healthy controls, we compared two methods that can be used to evaluate population structure and correct PS in genome-wide association studies: the principal-component analysis method and ...
متن کاملReview and evaluation of methods correcting for population stratification with a focus on underlying statistical principles.
When two or more populations have been separated by geographic or cultural boundaries for many generations, drift, spontaneous mutations, differential selection pressures and other factors may lead to allele frequency differences among populations. If these 'parental' populations subsequently come together and begin inter-mating, disequilibrium among linked markers may span a greater genetic di...
