A Bayesian characterization of Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium.
A Bayesian method for determining if there are large departures from independence between pairs of alleles at a locus, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE), is presented. We endorse the view that a population will never be exactly in HWE and that there will be occasions when there is a need for an alternative to the usual hypothesis-testing setting. Bayesian methods provide such an alternative, and...
متن کاملLee Responds to “Testing for Hardy-Weinberg Disequilibrium”
I appreciate Weinberg and Morris’ thoughtful commentary (1) on my paper (2). In their article, they put my work under the perspective of gene mapping in the postgenomic era. I share the same view with them that the method proposed in my paper amounts to a tree-shaking approach to harvesting the high-hanging fruit (a low-cost approach to generating hypotheses aimed at localizing diseasesusceptib...
متن کاملHardy-Weinberg disequilibrium identified genotyping error of the serotonin transporter (SLC6A4) promoter polymorphism.
We analyzed the putative functional promoter polymorphism of the serotonin transporter (5-HTTLPR) in two large autism spectrum disorder samples and a control sample. A Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium was detected for 5-HTTLPR in the unaffected founders of both autism spectrum disorder samples and control samples. When we lowered the total magnesium concentration in the polymerase chain reaction b...
متن کاملLosing balance: Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium as a marker for recurrent loss-of-heterozygosity in cancer.
Identifying regions of loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH) in a tumor sample is a challenging problem. State-of-the-art computational approaches can infer LOH from single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array data, but calling precise boundaries is complicated by normal-cell contamination and markers that are homozygous in the germline and therefore non-informative. More recently, the focus has shifted ...
متن کاملA clarification of the Hardy-Weinberg law.
C. C. Li showed that Hardy-Weinberg proportions (HWP) can be maintained in a large population by nonrandom mating as well as random mating. In particular he gave the mating matrix for the symmetric case in the most general form possible. Thus Li showed that, once HWP are attained, the same proportions can be maintained by what he called pseudorandom mating. This article shows that, starting fro...
