Epigenome-Wide Association Studies (EWAS) in Cancer
After completion of the human genome, genome-wide association studies were conducted to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with cancer initiation and progression. Most of the studies identified SNPs that were located outside the coding region, and the odds ratios were too low to implement in clinical practice. Although the genome gives information about genome sequence a...
متن کاملGenome-wide Association Studies
Progress in probabilistic generative models has accelerated, developing richer models with neural architectures, implicit densities, and with scalable algorithms for their Bayesian inference. However, there has been limited progress in models that capture causal relationships, for example, how individual genetic factors cause major human diseases. In this work, we focus on two challenges in par...

متن کاملGenome-wide association studies.
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies are best understood as an extension of candidate gene association studies, scaled up to cover hundreds of thousands of markers across the genome in samples usually of several thousand cases and controls. The GWA approach allows the detection of much smaller effect sizes than with previous linkage-based genome-wide studies. However, this sensitivity makes th...
متن کاملQuality control for genome-wide association studies.
This chapter is a comprehensive review of quality control (QC) methods for SNP-based genotyping panels used in genome-wide association studies. These include QC on individuals for missingness, gender checks, duplicates and cryptic relatedness, population outliers, heterozygosity and inbreeding, and QC on SNPs for missingness, minor allele frequency and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The emphasis i...
