2LD, GENECOUNTING and HAP: computer programs for linkage disequilibrium analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
UNLABELLED Computer programs are introduced which calculate pair-wise linkage disequilibrium statistics and conduct haplotype frequency estimation, including X chromosome data, and using a heuristic algorithm to handle multiple genetic markers and missing data. AVAILABILITY Programs 2LD, GENECOUNTING and HAP are available on Internet from http://www.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk/~jzhao and http://www.iop.kcl.ac.uk/IoP/Departments/PsychMed/GEpiBSt/software.shtml

Analysis of polymorphisms in the dopamine beta hydroxylase gene: association with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in Indian children.
OBJECTIVE To study the association of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and polymorphism in the dopamine beta hydroxylase (DBH) gene in Indian ADHD cases. SUBJECTS Forty one ADHD cases were diagnosed as per the DSM-IV-TR criteria and evaluated by Conners Parents and Teachers Rating Scale and Wechslers Intelligence Scale for Children. METHODS Genomic DNA was amplified for exon ...
متن کاملDetection of parent-of-origin effects in complete and incomplete nuclear families with multiple affected children using multiple tightly linked markers.
For a diallelic marker locus, the parental-asymmetry test (PAT) based on case-parents trios and its extensions to accommodate incomplete unclear families (1-PAT and C-PAT) are simple and powerful approaches to test for parent-of-origin effects. However, haplotype analysis is generally regarded as advantageous over single-marker analysis in genetic study of common complex diseases. This is mainl...
متن کاملA method and program for estimating graphical models for linkage disequilibrium that scale linearly with the number of loci, and their application to gene drop simulation
MOTIVATION Efficient models for genetic linkage disequilibrium (LD) are needed to enable appropriate statistical analysis of the dense, genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism assays currently available. RESULTS Estimation of graphical models for LD within a restricted class of decomposable models is shown to be possible using computer time and storage that scale linearly with the number o...
متن کاملThe Pattern of Linkage Disequilibrium in Livestock Genome
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is bases of genomic selection, genomic marker imputation, marker assisted selection (MAS), quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, parentage testing and whole genome association studies. The Particular alleles at closed loci have a tendency to be co-inherited. In linked loci this pattern leads to association between alleles in population which is known as LD. Two metr...
متن کاملLinkage and association analysis of GAW15 simulated data: fine-mapping of chromosome 6 region
We performed linkage and family-based association analysis across chromosomes 1-22 in Replicates 1-5 of the Genetic Analysis Workshop 15 simulated data. Linkage analysis was performed using the Kong and Cox allele-sharing test as implemented in the program Merlin. Association analysis was performed using the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT). A region on chromosome 6 was consistently highl...
