Genome-wide discovery of maternal effect variants
Many phenotypes may be influenced by the prenatal environment of the mother and/or maternal care, and these maternal effects may have a heritable component. We have implemented in the computer program SOLAR a variance components-based method for detecting indirect effects of maternal genotype on offspring phenotype. Of six phenotypes measured in three generations of the Framingham Heart Study, ...
متن کاملRare Variants Create Synthetic Genome-Wide Associations
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have now identified at least 2,000 common variants that appear associated with common diseases or related traits (http://www.genome.gov/gwastudies), hundreds of which have been convincingly replicated. It is generally thought that the associated markers reflect the effect of a nearby common (minor allele frequency >0.05) causal site, which is associated wi...
متن کاملGenome-wide burden of deleterious coding variants increased in schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a common complex disorder with polygenic inheritance. Here we show that by using an approach that compares the individual loads of rare variants in 1,042 schizophrenia cases and 961 controls, schizophrenia cases carry an increased burden of deleterious mutations. At a genome-wide level, our results implicate non-synonymous, splice site as well as stop-altering single-nucleotide...
متن کاملEffect of genome-wide simultaneous hypotheses tests on the discovery rate.
An increasing number of genome-wide association studies are being performed in hundreds of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Many of such studies carry on a second stage in which a selected number of SNPs are genotyped in new individuals in order to validate genome-wide findings. Unfortunately, a large proportion of such studies have been unable to validate the genome-wide fi...
متن کاملGenome-wide discovery of Pax7 target genes during development.
Pax7 plays critical roles in development of brain, spinal cord, neural crest, and skeletal muscle. As a sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor, any direct functional role played by Pax7 during development is mediated through target gene selection. Thus, we have sought to identify genes targeted by Pax7 during embryonic development using an unbiased chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChI...
