Mega2: data-handling for facilitating genetic linkage and association analyses
UNLABELLED Mega2, the manipulation environment for genetic analysis, transparently allows users to process genetic data for family-based or case/control studies accurately and efficiently. In addition to data validation checks, Mega2 provides analysis setup capabilities for a broad choice of commonly used genetic analysis programs, including SimWalk2, ASPEX, GeneHunter, SLINK, SIMULATE, S.A.G.E...
متن کاملLinkage and association analyses of principal components in expression data
Performing linkage and association analyses on a large set of correlated data presents an interesting set of problems. In the current setting, we have 3554 expression levels from lymphoblastoid cell lines in 194 individuals from 14 three-generation Utah CEPH (Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain) pedigrees. We formed multivariate expression phenotypes from six sets of genes. These consisted o...
متن کاملSemiparametric variance-component models for linkage and association analyses of censored trait data.
Variance-component (VC) models are widely used for linkage and association mapping of quantitative trait loci in general human pedigrees. Traditional VC methods assume that the trait values within a family follow a multivariate normal distribution and are fully observed. These assumptions are violated if the trait data contain censored observations. When the trait pertains to age at onset of di...
متن کاملAssociation and linkage analyses of RGS4 polymorphisms in schizophrenia.
Gene expression analyses of postmortem cerebral cortex suggest that transcription of the regulator of G-protein signaling 4 (RGS4) is decreased in a diagnosis-specific manner in subjects with schizophrenia. To evaluate the possible role of RGS4 in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, we conducted genetic association and linkage studies using samples ascertained independently in Pittsburgh and New...
متن کاملAssociation and Linkage Disequilibrium Analyses of APOE Polymorphisms in Atherosclerosis
BACKGROUND Apolipoprotein E (apo E) plays a major role in lipid metabolism, and its genetic variations have been associated with cardiovascular risk. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the APOE promoter (-491 A/T, -427 T/C and -219 G/T) and coding region (APOE epsilon2/epsilon3/epsilon4) polymorphisms in atherosclerosis disease by association and linkage disequilibr...
