PleioGRiP: genetic risk prediction with pleiotropy
MOTIVATION Although several studies have used Bayesian classifiers for risk prediction using genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) datasets, no software can efficiently perform these analyses on massive genetic datasets and can accommodate multiple traits. RESULTS We describe the program PleioGRiP that performs a genome-wide Bayesian model search to identify SNPs associated with a ...
متن کاملImproving Model Counting by Leveraging Definability
We present a new preprocessing technique for propositional model counting. This technique leverages definability, i.e., the ability to determine that some gates are implied by the input formula ⌃. Such gates can be exploited to simplify ⌃ without modifying its number of models. Unlike previous techniques based on gate detection and replacement, gates do not need to be made explicit in our appro...
متن کاملLeveraging functional annotations in genetic risk prediction for human complex diseases
Genetic risk prediction is an important goal in human genetics research and precision medicine. Accurate prediction models will have great impacts on both disease prevention and early treatment strategies. Despite the identification of thousands of disease-associated genetic variants through genome wide association studies (GWAS), genetic risk prediction accuracy remains moderate for most disea...
متن کاملImproving Phenotypic Prediction by Combining Genetic and Epigenetic Associations.
We tested whether DNA-methylation profiles account for inter-individual variation in body mass index (BMI) and height and whether they predict these phenotypes over and above genetic factors. Genetic predictors were derived from published summary results from the largest genome-wide association studies on BMI (n ∼ 350,000) and height (n ∼ 250,000) to date. We derived methylation predictors by e...
متن کاملThe genetic pleiotropy of musculoskeletal aging
Musculoskeletal aging is detrimental to multiple bodily functions and starts early, probably in the fourth decade of an individual's life. Sarcopenia is a health problem that is expected to only increase as a greater portion of the population lives longer; prevalence of the related musculoskeletal diseases is similarly expected to increase. Unraveling the biological and biomechanical associatio...
