Genome scan meta-analysis for hypertension.
BACKGROUND Genome scans for hypertension have yielded inconsistent results. The non-replication of significant or suggestive linkage might be due to lack of power of individual studies. Here, we conducted a genome scan meta-analysis for hypertension in an attempt to increase statistical power and to enhance evidence of linkage. METHODS A newly developed Genome Search Meta-analysis (GSMA) meth...
متن کاملGenome scan meta-analysis of rheumatoid arthritis.
OBJECTIVE Genome scans for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have yielded inconsistent results. The absence of replication of linkage might be due to lack of power of individual studies. We performed a genome scan meta-analysis of published data to increase statistical power and to assess evidence for linkage of RA across genome scan studies. METHODS Four RA whole-genome scans containing 767 families...
متن کاملNovel approach for genome scan meta-analysis of rheumatoid arthritis: a kernel-based estimation procedure
Genome scan meta-analysis (GSMA) can prove very useful in detecting genetic effects too small to be detected in an individual linkage study and can also lead to more consistent results. In this paper, we propose a new kernel-based estimation procedure for GSMA. Instead of estimating identity by descent between markers, as performed in interval mapping approaches, we estimated directly the nonpa...
متن کاملGenome scan meta-analysis of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, part I: Methods and power analysis.
This is the first of three articles on a meta-analysis of genome scans of schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BPD) that uses the rank-based genome scan meta-analysis (GSMA) method. Here we used simulation to determine the power of GSMA to detect linkage and to identify thresholds of significance. We simulated replicates resembling the SCZ data set (20 scans; 1,208 pedigrees) and two BPD d...
متن کاملPredicting CpG Islands and DNA Methlation in the Cow Genome Using DNA Microarray Meta-Analysis and Genome Wide Scanning
DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic changes that directly affects DNA. In mammals, DNA methylation is essential for fetal development and stem cell differentiation and this phenomenon essentially occurs within the CpG islands. In this study, two methods were used to study the DNA methylation profile of cow genome. In the first method, the DNA methylation profile of the differentially expres...
