A gene-based approach for testing association of rare alleles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rare genetic variants have been shown to be important to the susceptibility of common human diseases. Methods for detecting association of rare genetic variants are drawing much attention. In this report, we applied a gene-based approach to the 200 simulated data sets of unrelated individuals. The test can detect the association of some genes with multiple rare variants.

Background and Aim: About 13 beta-globin mutations encompass 70-90% of the mutation spectrum in Iran. These mutations are called common beta-globin mutations. The rest are rare or unknown mutations. The objective of this study was to identify the rare or unknown beta-globin mutations in Qazvin province. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive-analytic study, EDTA-containing venous blood...
متن کاملAssociation between bovine lactoferrin gene variant and somatic cell count in milk based on EcoRI restriction site
Mastitis is one of the most serious and costly diseases affecting dairy cattle production. In the present study, effects of a lactoferrin gene polymorphism (intron 6) on milk somatic cell count (SCC) and subclinical mastitis was investigated in 121 Holstein dairy cattle. Two alleles of A and B and two genotypes of AA and AB were found in an EcoRI recognized single nucleotide polymorphism in int...

Background and Objectives: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related syndrome and the most common hypertensive disorder in pregnancy. Feto-maternal immune incompatibility, oxidative stress, genetic variants, and endothelial cells injuries play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease. TNFSF13B gene, a member of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family, is a main regulator of an immune response....
متن کاملAssociation of PIT1 Gene with Milk Fat Percentage in Holstein Cattle
The pituitary-specific transcription factor (PIT1) gene is responsible for pituitary development and hormone secreting gene expression in mammals. PIT-1 is studied as a candidate genetic marker for growth, carcass and also for milk yield traits. In dairy farm animals, the principal goal of the selection is the improvement of milk yield and composition. The genes of milk proteins and hormones ar...

The ovine melatonin receptor 1A (MTNR1A) and aromatase (CYP19) genes were structurally characterized and the association between their variants and reproductive and growth traits was studied in Kurdi sheep at Kurdi sheep breeding station located in Shirvan, Iran. The genomic DNA was extracted by guanidine thiocyanate-silica gel method. Polymerase chain reaction was carried out to amplify 824 bp...
