Genome-wide association analysis
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have become overwhelmingly popular in the last few years as a means to elucidate associations between particular alleles in one’s DNA and a predisposition to disease, using genetic data from unrelated individuals randomly sampled from a population (Balding, 2006; WTCCC, 2007). The recent availability of large amounts of such population genetic data necessit...
متن کاملInterrogating local population structure for fine mapping in genome-wide association studies
MOTIVATION Adjustment for population structure is necessary to avoid bias in genetic association studies of susceptibility variants for complex diseases. Population structure may differ from one genomic region to another due to the variability of individual ancestry associated with migration, random genetic drift or natural selection. Current association methods for correcting population strati...
متن کاملFine-mapping of genome-wide association study-identified risk loci for colorectal cancer in African Americans.
Genome-wide association studies of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Europeans and Asians have identified 21 risk susceptibility regions [29 index single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)]. Characterizing these risk regions in diverse racial groups with different linkage disequilibrium (LD) structure can help localize causal variants. We examined associations between CRC and all 29 index SNPs in 6597 Af...
متن کاملGenome-wide association and fine mapping of genetic loci predisposing to colon carcinogenesis in mice.
To identify the genetic determinants of colon tumorigenesis, 268 male mice from 33 inbred strains derived from different genealogies were treated with azoxymethane (AOM; 10 mg/kg) once a week for six weeks to induce colon tumors. Tumors were localized exclusively within the distal colon in each of the strains examined. Inbred mouse strains exhibit a large variability in genetic susceptibility t...
متن کاملComparison of analyses of the QTLMAS XII common dataset. II: genome-wide association and fine mapping
As part of the QTLMAS XII workshop, a simulated dataset was distributed and participants were invited to submit analyses of the data based on genome-wide association, fine mapping and genomic selection. We have evaluated the findings from the groups that reported fine mapping and genome-wide association (GWA) efforts to map quantitative trait loci (QTL). Generally the power to detect QTL was hi...
