Development of a High-Resolution Melting Method for Screening R188H Polymorphism in XRCC2 Gene
Background: The High Resolution Melting (HRM) method is a new scanning method for detecting unknown changes in DNA and its advantages have persuaded researchers to recruit it as a screening method. Objectives: Here, we developed a HRM method to screen R188H SNP (rs3218536) of XRCC2 and compared the results with a well known PCR-RFLP technique. Materials and Methods: Genomic ...
متن کاملGene × gene and gene × environment interactions for complex disorders
The restricted partition method (RPM) provides a way to detect qualitative factors (e.g. genotypes, environmental exposures) associated with variation in quantitative or binary phenotypes, even if the contribution is predominantly an interaction displaying little or no signal in univariate analyses. The RPM provides a model (possibly non-linear) of the relationship between the predictor covaria...
متن کاملA Novel Evolution-Based Method for Detecting Gene-Gene Interactions
BACKGROUND The rapid advance in large-scale SNP-chip technologies offers us great opportunities in elucidating the genetic basis of complex diseases. Methods for large-scale interactions analysis have been under development from several sources. Due to several difficult issues (e.g., sparseness of data in high dimensions and low replication or validation rate), development of fast, powerful and...
متن کاملInvestigating the Role of Gene-Gene Interactions in TB Susceptibility
Tuberculosis (TB) is the second leading cause of mortality from infectious disease worldwide. One of the factors involved in developing disease is the genetics of the host, yet the field of TB susceptibility genetics has not yielded the answers that were expected. A commonly posited explanation for the missing heritability of complex disease is gene-gene interactions, also referred to as epista...
متن کاملApplying gene expression, proteomics and single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis for complex trait gene identification.
Previous quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of an intercross involving the inbred mouse strains NZB/BlNJ and SM/J revealed QTL for a variety of complex traits. Many QTL have large intervals containing hundreds of genes, and methods are needed to rapidly sort through these genes for probable candidates. We chose nine QTL: the three most significant for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholest...
