Pathway-based analysis for genome-wide association studies using supervised principal components.
Many complex diseases are influenced by genetic variations in multiple genes, each with only a small marginal effect on disease susceptibility. Pathway analysis, which identifies biological pathways associated with disease outcome, has become increasingly popular for genome-wide association studies (GWAS). In addition to combining weak signals from a number of SNPs in the same pathway, results ...
متن کاملFast Principal Component Analysis of Large-Scale Genome-Wide Data
Principal component analysis (PCA) is routinely used to analyze genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data, for detecting population structure and potential outliers. However, the size of SNP datasets has increased immensely in recent years and PCA of large datasets has become a time consuming task. We have developed flashpca, a highly efficient PCA implementation based on randomized...
متن کاملPrincipal Component Analysis Characterizes Shared Pathogenetics from Genome-Wide Association Studies
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have recently revealed many genetic associations that are shared between different diseases. We propose a method, disPCA, for genome-wide characterization of shared and distinct risk factors between and within disease classes. It flips the conventional GWAS paradigm by analyzing the diseases themselves, across GWAS datasets, to explore their "shared patho...
متن کاملGenome-wide Linkage Analyses of Quantitative and Categorical Autism Subphenotypes
BACKGROUND The search for susceptibility genes in autism and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has been hindered by the possible small effects of individual genes and by genetic (locus) heterogeneity. To overcome these obstacles, one method is to use autism-related subphenotypes instead of the categorical diagnosis of autism since they may be more directly related to the underlying susceptibility...
متن کاملGenome-wide association analysis
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have become overwhelmingly popular in the last few years as a means to elucidate associations between particular alleles in one’s DNA and a predisposition to disease, using genetic data from unrelated individuals randomly sampled from a population (Balding, 2006; WTCCC, 2007). The recent availability of large amounts of such population genetic data necessit...
