Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium Testing and Interpretation: Focus on infection
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) holds when, in a closed population with random mating and without mutation and natural selection, genotype frequencies at any locus is a simple function of allele frequencies. Testing for HWE is now a common practice in population genetics and genetic association studies of non-communicable diseases; however, it is less-regarded, or sometimes miss-interpreted, i...
متن کاملAn unconditional exact test for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium law: sample-space ordering using the Bayes factor.
Much forensic inference based upon DNA evidence is made assuming that the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) is valid for the genetic loci being used. Several statistical tests to detect and measure deviation from HWE have been devised, each having advantages and limitations. The limitations become more obvious when testing for deviation within multiallelic DNA loci is attempted. Here we present ...
متن کاملGenuine Bayesian multiallelic significance test for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium law.
Statistical tests that detect and measure deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) have been devised but are limited when testing for deviation at multiallelic DNA loci is attempted. Here we present the full Bayesian significance test (FBST) for the HWE. This test depends neither on asymptotic results nor on the number of possible alleles for the particular locus being evaluated. The...
متن کاملOn the testing of Hardy‐Weinberg proportions and equality of allele frequencies in males and females at biallelic genetic markers
Standard statistical tests for equality of allele frequencies in males and females and tests for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are tightly linked by their assumptions. Tests for equality of allele frequencies assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, whereas the usual chi-square or exact test for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium assume equality of allele frequencies in the sexes. In this paper, we propose ways...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of Genetic Associations
ZAYKIN, DMITRI V. Statistical Analysis of Genetic Associations (Advisor: Bruce S. Weir) There is an increasing need for a statistical treatment of genetic data prompted by recent advances in molecular genetics and molecular technology. Study of associations between genes is one of the most important aspects in applications of population genetics theory and statistical methodology to genetic dat...
