Imputation provides an opportunity to study filaggrin (FLG) null mutations in large population cohorts that lack bespoke genotyping

چکیده

Background: Low frequency mutations within the filaggrin (FLG) gene are established genetic risk factors for atopic dermatitis. Studies of FLG have typically used sequencing or bespoke genotyping. Large-scale population cohorts with genome-wide imputed data offer powerful analysis opportunities, but FLG genotyping is often not feasible in such studies. Therefore, we aimed to determine quality of selected FLG null genotype extracted from sources, focussing on UK data. Methods: We compared allele frequencies three (R501X, R2447X and S3247X) directly genotyped ALSPAC cohort. Logistic regression was test association dermatitis Biobank investigate usefulness Results: The appear be well datasets that use Haplotype Reference Consortium (HRC) imputation (0.3% discordance data). However, a greater proportion alleles failed wild-type alleles. Despite calling being imperfect, they still strongly associated (p-values between 7x10-10 5x10-75 Biobank). Conclusions: HRC appears adequate population-based mutations.

The Value of FLG Null Mutations in Predicting Treatment Response in Atopic Dermatitis: An Observational Study in Finnish Patients.

The contribution of filaggrin null mutations to predicting atopic dermatitis (AD) treatment response is not clear, nor have such mutations been studied in the Finnish population. This study tested the association of the 4 most prevalent European FLG null mutations, the 2 Finnish enriched FLG null mutations, the FLG 12-repeat allele, and 50 additional epidermal barrier gene variants, with risk o...

process of machine learning and data mining when certain values are missed. Among extant imputation techniques, kNN imputation algorithm is the best one as it is a model free and efficient compared with other methods. However, the value of k must be chosen properly in using kNN imputation. In particular, when some nearest neighbors are far from a missing data, the kNN imputation algorithms are ...

Filaggrin haploinsufficiency is highly penetrant and is associated with increased severity of eczema: further delineation of the skin phenotype in a prospective epidemiological study of 792 school children

BACKGROUND Null mutations within the filaggrin gene (FLG) cause ichthyosis vulgaris and are associated with atopic eczema. However, the dermatological features of filaggrin haploinsufficiency have not been clearly defined. OBJECTIVES This study investigated the genotype-phenotype association between detailed skin phenotype and FLG genotype data in a population-based cohort of children. METH...

Noninvasive detection of filaggrin gene mutations using Raman spectroscopy

Knowledge of the existence of filaggrin (FLG) gene mutations might be helpful for a subclassification of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) which can be used to introduce individualized treatments. In this work the filaggrin content in the skin is assessed using Raman spectroscopy and the results are compared to FLG genotyping of Mexican-mestizo patients. Results showed that the 2282del4 and ...

Intragenic Copy Number Variation within Filaggrin Contributes to the Risk of Atopic Dermatitis with a Dose-Dependent Effect

Loss-of-function variants within the filaggrin gene (FLG) increase the risk of atopic dermatitis. FLG also demonstrates intragenic copy number variation (CNV), with alleles encoding 10, 11, or 12 filaggrin monomers; hence, CNV may affect the amount of filaggrin expressed in the epidermis. A total of 876 Irish pediatric atopic dermatitis cases were compared with 928 population controls to test t...
