Two-Stage Two-Locus Models in Genome-Wide Association
Studies in model organisms suggest that epistasis may play an important role in the etiology of complex diseases and traits in humans. With the era of large-scale genome-wide association studies fast approaching, it is important to quantify whether it will be possible to detect interacting loci using realistic sample sizes in humans and to what extent undetected epistasis will adversely affect ...
متن کاملApplication of seventeen two-locus models in genome-wide association studies by two-stage strategy
The goal of this paper is to search for two-locus combinations that are jointly associated with rheumatoid arthritis using the data set of Genetic Analysis Workshop 16 Problem 1. We use a two-stage strategy to reduce the computational burden associated with performing an exhaustive two-locus search across the genome. In the first stage, the full set of 531,689 single-nucleotide polymorphisms wa...
متن کاملTwo-stage genome-wide association study identifies a novel susceptibility locus associated with melanoma
Genome-wide association studies have identified 21 susceptibility loci associated with melanoma. These loci implicate genes affecting pigmentation, nevus count, telomere maintenance, and DNA repair in melanoma risk. Here, we report the results of a two-stage genome-wide association study of melanoma. The stage 1 discovery phase consisted of 4,842 self-reported melanoma cases and 286,565 control...
متن کاملOptimal designs for two-stage genome-wide association studies.
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies require genotyping hundreds of thousands of markers on thousands of subjects, and are expensive at current genotyping costs. To conserve resources, many GWA studies are adopting a staged design in which a proportion of the available samples are genotyped on all markers in stage 1, and a proportion of these markers are genotyped on the remaining samples in s...
متن کاملOptimal two-stage genotyping designs for genome-wide association scans.
The much-anticipated fixed-array, genome-wide SNP genotyping technologies make large-scale genome-wide association scans now possible for large numbers of subjects. In this paper we reconsider the problem (Satagopan and Elston [2003] Genet Epidemiol 25:149-157) of optimizing a two-stage genotyping design to deal with important new issues that are relevant when studies are expanded from candidat...
