Inference of kinship coefficients from Korean SNP genotyping data

چکیده
The determination of relatedness between individuals in a family is crucial in analysis of common complex diseases. We present a method to infer close inter-familial relationships based on SNP genotyping data and provide the relationship coefficient of kinship in Korean families. We obtained blood samples from 43 Korean individuals in two families. SNP data was obtained using the Affymetrix Genome-wide Human SNP array 6.0 and the Illumina Human 1M-Duo chip. To measure the kinship coefficient with the SNP genotyping data, we considered all possible pairs of individuals in each family. The genetic distance between two individuals in a pair was determined using the allele sharing distance method. The results show that genetic distance is proportional to the kinship coefficient and that a close degree of kinship can be confirmed with SNP genotyping data. This study represents the first attempt to identify the genetic distance between very closely related individuals.

BACKGROUND: Genetic tests for kinship testing routinely reach likelihoods that provide virtual proof of the claimed relationship by typing microsatellites-commonly consisting of 12-15 standard forensic short tandem repeats (STRs). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have also been applied to kinship testing but these binary markers are required in greater numbers than multiple-allele STRs. H...

Recent advances of high-throughput SNP arrays such as Affymetrix’s GeneChip Human Mapping 500K array set have made it possible to genotype large samples in a fast and cheap manner. A lot of algorithms were developed to call the genotypes from SNP array. When considering the low level preprocessing of SNP array, most algorithms just borrow the techniques from the gene expression microarray. As i...

MOTIVATION High-throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays have become the standard platform for linkage and association analyses. The high SNP density of these platforms allows high-resolution identification of ancestral recombination events even for distant relatives many generations apart. However, such inference is sensitive to marker mistyping and current error detection method...
متن کاملSNP genotyping and population genomics from expressed sequences - current advances and future possibilities.
With the rapid increase in production of genetic data from new sequencing technologies, a myriad of new ways to study genomic patterns in nonmodel organisms are currently possible. Because genome assembly still remains a complicated procedure, and because the functional role of much of the genome is unclear, focusing on SNP genotyping from expressed sequences provides a cost-effective way to re...
متن کاملCorrecting for Cryptic Relatedness in Genome-Wide Association Studies
While the individuals chosen for a genome-wide association study (GWAS) may not be closely related to each other, there can be distant (cryptic) relationships that confound the evidence of disease association. These cryptic relationships violate the GWAS assumption regarding the independence of the subjects’ genomes, and failure to account for these relationships results in both false positives...
