Statistical software for gene mapping by admixture linkage disequilibrium
Admixture mapping is a statistical methodology that detects genetic variants in recently admixed populations that are responsible for ethnic differences in disease risk. Three software packages are now available for admixture mapping and we provide a brief overview of the statistical methods and other principal features they implement.
متن کاملEfficient mining of haplotype patterns for linkage disequilibrium mapping.
Effective identification of disease-causing gene locations can have significant impact on patient management decisions that will ultimately increase survival rates and improve the overall quality of health care. Linkage disequilibrium mapping is the process of finding disease gene locations through comparisons of haplotype frequencies between disease chromosomes and normal chromosomes. This wor...
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...
متن کاملAn efficient comprehensive search algorithm for tagSNP selection using linkage disequilibrium criteria
MOTIVATION Selecting SNP markers for genome-wide association studies is an important and challenging task. The goal is to minimize the number of markers selected for genotyping in a particular platform and therefore reduce genotyping cost while simultaneously maximizing the information content provided by selected markers. RESULTS We devised an improved algorithm for tagSNP selection using th...
متن کاملThe Pattern of Linkage Disequilibrium in Livestock Genome
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is bases of genomic selection, genomic marker imputation, marker assisted selection (MAS), quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, parentage testing and whole genome association studies. The Particular alleles at closed loci have a tendency to be co-inherited. In linked loci this pattern leads to association between alleles in population which is known as LD. Two metr...
