Quantifying Missing Heritability at Known GWAS Loci
Recent work has shown that much of the missing heritability of complex traits can be resolved by estimates of heritability explained by all genotyped SNPs. However, it is currently unknown how much heritability is missing due to poor tagging or additional causal variants at known GWAS loci. Here, we use variance components to quantify the heritability explained by all SNPs at known GWAS loci in...
متن کاملUbiquitous Polygenicity of Human Complex Traits: Genome-Wide Analysis of 49 Traits in Koreans
Recent studies in population of European ancestry have shown that 30% ~ 50% of heritability for human complex traits such as height and body mass index, and common diseases such as schizophrenia and rheumatoid arthritis, can be captured by common SNPs and that genetic variation attributed to chromosomes are in proportion to their length. Using genome-wide estimation and partitioning approaches,...
متن کاملHaplotype kernel association test as a powerful method to identify chromosomal regions harboring uncommon causal variants.
For most complex diseases, the fraction of heritability that can be explained by the variants discovered from genome-wide association studies is minor. Although the so-called "rare variants" (minor allele frequency [MAF] < 1%) have attracted increasing attention, they are unlikely to account for much of the "missing heritability" because very few people may carry these rare variants. The geneti...
متن کاملCausal Genomic and Epigenomic Network Analysis emerges as a New Generation of Genetic Studies of Complex Diseases
In the past decade, rapid advances in genomic technologies have dramatically changed the genetic studies of complex diseases. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been widely used in dissecting genetic structure of complex diseases. As of December 18th, 2014, A Catalog of Published Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) had reported significant association of 15,177 SNPs with more than 7...
متن کاملDetermination of fucosyltransferase 3 gene polymorphisms frequency in Iranian blood donors
Abstract Background and Objectives The FUT3 gene regulates the expression of Lewis blood group antigens mainly Lea and Leb. The Lewis negative phenotype, is the result of an inactivated FUT3 enzyme that lacks glycosidase activity. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may cause enzyme inactivation with different racial distribution. This study aimed to determine the frequency of these...
