Relaxing Haplotype Block Models for Association Testing
The arrival of publicly available genome-wide variation data is creating new opportunities for reconciling model-based methods for associating genotypes and phenotypes with the complexities of real genome data. Such data is particularly valuable for testing the utility of models of conserved haplotype structure to association studies. While there is much interest in "haplotype block" models tha...
متن کاملHaplotype block partitioning and tag SNP selection using genotype data and their applications to association studies.
Recent studies have revealed that linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns vary across the human genome with some regions of high LD interspersed by regions of low LD. A small fraction of SNPs (tag SNPs) is sufficient to capture most of the haplotype structure of the human genome. In this paper, we develop a method to partition haplotypes into blocks and to identify tag SNPs based on genotype data ...
متن کاملFinding haplotype block boundaries by using the minimum-description-length principle.
We present a method for detecting haplotype blocks that simultaneously uses information about linkage-disequilibrium decay between the blocks and the diversity of haplotypes within the blocks. By use of phased single-nucleotide polymorphism data, our method partitions a chromosome into a series of adjacent, nonoverlapping blocks. The partition is made by choosing among a family of Markov models...
متن کامل“ Two Statistical Problems in Gene Mapping
In the thesis, we present two statistical problems in gene mapping. First, we consider the problem of linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping with haplotype block structure. The HapMap Project is providing a great deal of new information on high-resolution haplotype structure in various human populations. We consider LD mapping in case-parent trios under the assumption that haplotype blocks and the...
متن کاملDynamic Programming Algorithms for Haplotype Blocks Partitioning with TagSNPs Minimization
Recent studies show that the patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD) observed in human chromosome reveal a block-like structure; the high LD regions are called haplotype blocks. The existence of haplotype block structures has serious implications for association-based methods in mapping of disease genes. A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism or SNP is a DNA sequence variation occurring when a single...
