Statistical Modeling of Epistasis and Linkage Decay using Logic Regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Logic regression has been recognized as a tool that can identify and model non-additive genetic interactions using Boolean logic groups. Logic regression, TASSEL-GLM and SAS-GLM were compared for analytical precision using a previously characterized model system to identify the best genetic model explaining epistatic interaction of vernalization-sensitivity in barley. A genetic model containing two molecular markers identified in vernalization response in barley was selected using logic regression while both TASSEL-GLM and SAS-GLM included spurious associations in their models. The results also suggest the logic regression can be used to identify dominant/recessive relationships between epistatic alleles through its use of conjugate operators.

Evaluating Methods for Modeling Epistasis Networks with Application to Head and Neck Cancer
Epistasis helps to explain how multiple single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) interact to cause disease. A variety of tools have been developed to detect epistasis. In this article, we explore the strengths and weaknesses of an information theory approach for detecting epistasis and compare it to the logistic regression approach through simulations. We consider several scenarios to simulate th...
متن کاملStatistical modeling of interlocus interactions in a complex disease: rejection of the multiplicative model of epistasis in type 1 diabetes.
In general, common diseases do not follow a Mendelian inheritance pattern. To identify disease mechanisms and etiology, their genetic dissection may be assisted by evaluation of linkage in mouse models of human disease. Statistical modeling of multiple-locus linkage data from the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse model of type 1 diabetes has previously provided evidence for epistasis between allele...
متن کاملMarker-based inferences about epistasis for genes influencing inbreeding depression.
We describe a multilocus, marker-based regression method for inferring interactions between genes controlling inbreeding depression in self-fertile organisms. It is based upon selfing a parent heterozygous for several unlinked codominant markers, then analyzing the fitness of progeny marker genotypes. If loci causing inbreeding depression are linked to marker loci, then viability selection is m...
متن کاملAssessment of LD matrix measures for the analysis of biological pathway association.
Complex diseases will have multiple functional sites, and it will be invaluable to understand the cross-locus interaction in terms of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between those sites (epistasis) in addition to the haplotype-LD effects. We investigated the statistical properties of a class of matrix-based statistics to assess this epistasis. These statistical methods include two LD contrast tests...
متن کاملLinkage Identification Based on Epistasis Measures to Realize Efficient Genetic Algorithms
Genetic algorithms (GAs) process building blocks (BBs) mixed and tested through genetic recombination operators. To realize effective BB processing, linkage identification is essential which detects a set of loci tightly linked. This paper proposes a linkage identification with epistasis measures (LIEM) that detects linkage groups based on a pairwise epistasis measure.
