Multiple testing for SNP-SNP interactions.
Most genetic diseases are complex, i.e. associated to combinations of SNPs rather than individual SNPs. In the last few years, this topic has often been addressed in terms of SNP-SNP interaction patterns given as expressions linked by logical operators. Methods for multiple testing in high-dimensional settings can be applied when many SNPs are considered simultaneously. However, another less we...
متن کاملSNP-SNP interactions as risk factors for aggressive prostate cancer
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most significant male health concerns worldwide. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are becoming increasingly strong candidate biomarkers for identifying susceptibility to PCa. We identified a number of SNPs reported in genome-wide association analyses (GWAS) as risk factors for aggressive PCa in various European populations, and then defined SNP-SNP inte...

متن کاملSNPsyn: detection and exploration of SNP–SNP interactions
SNPsyn (http://snpsyn.biolab.si) is an interactive software tool for the discovery of synergistic pairs of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from large genome-wide case-control association studies (GWAS) data on complex diseases. Synergy among SNPs is estimated using an information-theoretic approach called interaction analysis. SNPsyn is both a stand-alone C++/Flash application and a web ...
متن کاملSNP-Flankplus: SNP ID-centric retrieval for SNP flanking sequences
UNLABELLED The flanking sequences provided by dbSNP of NCBI are usually short and fixed length without further extension, thus making the design of appropriate PCR primers difficult. Here, we introduce a tool named "SNP-Flankplus" to provide a web environment for retrieval of SNP flanking sequences from both the dbSNP and the nucleotide databases of NCBI. Two SNP ID types, rs# and ss#, are acce...
