Family-based genome-wide association study for simulated data of Framingham Heart Study
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have quickly become the norm in dissecting the genetic basis of complex diseases. Family-based association approaches have the advantages of being robust to possible hidden population structure in samples. Most of these methods were developed with limited markers. Their applicability and performance for GWAS need to be examined. In this report, we evaluate...
متن کاملThe Framingham Heart Study 100 K SNP Genome - Wide Association
Background: The Framingham Heart Study (FHS), founded in 1948 to examine the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease, is among the most comprehensively characterized multi-generational studies in the world. Many collected phenotypes have substantial genetic contributors; yet most genetic determinants remain to be identified. Using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from a 100K genome-wide sc...
متن کاملRegion-based analysis in genome-wide association study of Framingham Heart Study blood lipid phenotypes
Due to the high-dimensionality of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data, region-based methods are an attractive approach to the identification of genetic variation associated with a certain phenotype. A common approach to defining regions is to identify the most significant SNPs from a single-SNP association analysis, and then use a gene database to obtain a list of genes proximal to the id...
متن کاملA genome-wide association analysis of Framingham Heart Study longitudinal data using multivariate adaptive splines
The Framingham Heart Study is a well known longitudinal cohort study. In recent years, the community-based Framingham Heart Study has embarked on genome-wide association studies. In this paper, we present a Framingham Heart Study genome-wide analysis for fasting triglycerides trait in the Genetic Analysis Workshop16 Problem 2 using multivariate adaptive splines for the analysis of longitudinal ...
متن کاملGenome-wide association study for empirically derived metabolic phenotypes in the Framingham Heart Study offspring cohort
We used data reduction and clustering methods to identify five phenotypically homogeneous groups of study participants with similar profiles for cardiovascular disease risk factors. We constructed both qualitative (binary subgroup membership) and quantitative traits (probability of subgroup membership) for each individual. The Cluster 1 comprised individuals who were generally healthy and had s...
