DIVAS: a centralized genetic variant repository representing 150 000 individuals from multiple disease cohorts

چکیده
MOTIVATION A plethora of sequenced and genotyped disease cohorts is available to the biomedical research community, spread across many portals and represented in various formats. RESULTS We have gathered several large studies, including GERA and GRU, and computed population- and disease-specific genetic variant frequencies. In total, our portal provides fast access to genetic variants observed in 84,928 individuals from 39 disease populations. We also include 66,335 controls, such as the 1000 Genomes and Scripps Wellderly. CONCLUSION Combining multiple studies helps validate disease-associated variants in each underlying data set, detect potential false positives using frequencies of control populations, and identify novel candidate disease-causing alterations in known or suspected genes. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION https://rvs.u.hpc.mssm.edu/divas CONTACT [email protected] SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

متن کاملTime and motion study of familial bowel and breast cancer gene mutational analysis in Victoria, Australia
Results 47 surveys were collected, representing one-third of searches performed in the data collection period. It was estimated that each laboratory encountered 150 genetic tests each year that required information on an unclassified variant to be searched for and reported on. From this the activity of searching and reporting analysed was calculated at 20 weeks’ effort across the state of Victo...
متن کاملDesign of Prospective Meta-Analyses of Genome-Wide Association Studies From 5 Cohorts
Background—The primary aim of genome-wide association studies is to identify novel genetic loci associated with interindividual variation in the levels of risk factors, the degree of subclinical disease, or the risk of clinical disease. The requirement for large sample sizes and the importance of replication have served as powerful incentives for scientific collaboration. Methods—The Cohorts fo...
متن کاملNo association of the LRRK2 genetic variants with Alzheimer's disease in Han Chinese individuals.
The leucine-rich repeat kinase-2 (LRRK2) gene has been regarded as 1 of the most common genetic causes of Parkinson's disease (PD). We hypothesized that LRRK2-susceptible allele(s) for PD might pose a risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we screened 12 LRRK2 gene variants in 2 independent cohorts from southwestern China (341 AD patients and 435 normal individuals) and eastern China...

Background & Aims:Thromboembolism is an acute cardiovascular disease that ranges from clinically unimportant to massive embolism. Both acquired and hereditary risk factors contribute to the disease. We aimed to determine the prevalence of two hereditary predisposing factor of the disease, prothrombin G20210A and factor V Leiden (G1691A) polymorphisms, in Kerman population.<br /...
