Population structure analysis using rare and common functional variants
Next-generation sequencing technologies now make it possible to genotype and measure hundreds of thousands of rare genetic variations in individuals across the genome. Characterization of high-density genetic variation facilitates control of population genetic structure on a finer scale before large-scale genotyping in disease genetics studies. Population structure is a well-known, prevalent, a...
متن کاملEffect of population stratification analysis on false-positive rates for common and rare variants
Principal components analysis (PCA) has been successfully used to correct for population stratification in genome-wide association studies of common variants. However, rare variants also have a role in common disease etiology. Whether PCA successfully controls population stratification for rare variants has not been addressed. Thus we evaluate the effect of population stratification analysis on...
متن کاملCommon Disease, Multiple Rare (and Distant) Variants
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have emerged as a potentially powerful tool for discovery of new genes for common diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and stroke. But the common interpretation of GWA findings might be incorrect in many cases, according to a new study by Samuel Dickson, David Goldstein, and colleagues in this issue of PLoS Biology. Their results suggest that the signals i...
متن کاملCommon and rare variants in alcohol dependence.
c h a b c M any lines of evidence converge to show that genetics makes a substantial contribution to the risk for alcohol dependence, explaining about 60% of the variance. However, alcohol dependence is not a Mendelian trait with a simple pattern of inheritance, nor is it deterministic. It is a complex trait like most psychiatric diseases and other common diseases, with both genetic and environ...
متن کاملA pathway-based association analysis model using common and rare variants
How various genetic effects in combination affect susceptibility to certain disease states continues to be a major area of methodological research. Various rare variant models have been proposed, in response to a common failure to either identify or validate biologically driven causal genetic variants in genome-wide association studies. Adopting the idea that multiple rare variants may effectiv...
