Variance components linkage analysis with repeated measurements.
BACKGROUND When subjects are measured multiple times, linkage analysis needs to appropriately model these repeated measures. A number of methods have been proposed to model repeated measures in linkage analysis. Here, we focus on assessing the impact of repeated measures on the power and cost of a linkage study. METHODS We describe three alternative extensions of the variance components appro...
متن کاملEpistasis and its contribution to genetic variance components.
We present a new parameterization of physiological epistasis that allows the measurement of epistasis separate from its effects on the interaction (epistatic) genetic variance component. Epistasis is the deviation of two-locus genotypic values from the sum of the contributing single-locus genotypic values. This parameterization leads to statistical tests for epistasis given estimates of two-loc...
متن کاملGenome-wide linkage analyses of total serum IgE using variance components analysis in asthmatic families.
Variance components models were used to analyze total IgE levels in families ascertained though the Collaborative Study of the Genetics of Asthma (CSGA) using a genome-wide array of polymorphic markers. While IgE levels are known to be associated with clinical asthma and recognized to be under strong genetic control (here the heritability was estimated at 44-60% in the three racial groups), spe...
متن کاملDissection of Complex Gene Expression Using the Combined Analysis of Pleiotropy and Epistasis
Global transcript expression experiments are commonly used to investigate the biological processes that underlie complex traits. These studies can exhibit complex patterns of pleiotropy when trans-acting genetic factors influence overlapping sets of multiple transcripts. Dissecting these patterns into biological modules with distinct genetic etiology can provide models of how genetic variants a...
متن کاملVariance-components methods for linkage and association analysis of ordinal traits in general pedigrees.
Many complex human diseases such as alcoholism and cancer are rated on ordinal scales. Well-developed statistical methods for the genetic mapping of quantitative traits may not be appropriate for ordinal traits. We propose a class of variance-component models for the joint linkage and association analysis of ordinal traits. The proposed models accommodate arbitrary pedigrees and allow covariate...
