Inferring genotyping error rates from genotyped trios
نویسنده
چکیده
Genotyping errors are known to influence the power of both family-based and case-control studies in the genetics of complex disease. Estimating genotyping error rate in a given dataset can be complex, but when family information is available error rates can be inferred from the patterns of Mendelian inheritance between parents and offspring. I introduce a novel likelihood-based method for calculating error rates from family data, given known allele frequencies. I apply this to an example dataset, demonstrating a low genotyping error rate in genotyping data from a personal genomics company.

Imputation of parent-offspring trios and their effect on accuracy of genomic prediction using Bayesian method
The objective of this study was to evaluate the imputation accuracy of parent-offspring trios under different scenarios. By using simulated datasets, the performance Bayesian LASSO in genomic prediction was also examined. The genome consisted of 5 chromosomes and each chromosome was set as 1 Morgan length. The number of SNPs per chromosome was 10000. One hundred QTLs were randomly distributed a...
متن کاملUsing DNA pools for genotyping trios
The genotyping of mother-father-child trios is a very useful tool in disease association studies, as trios eliminate population stratification effects and increase the accuracy of haplotype inference. Unfortunately, the use of trios for association studies may reduce power, since it requires the genotyping of three individuals where only four independent haplotypes are involved. We describe her...
متن کاملAssessing genuine parents-offspring trios for genetic association studies.
OBJECTIVES Family-based association tests such as the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) are dependent on the successful ascertainment of true nuclear family trios. Relationship misspecification inevitably occurs in a proportion of trios collected for genotyping which undetected can lead to a loss of power and increased Type I error due to biases in over-transmission of common alleles. Here...
متن کاملGenotyping error detection through tightly linked markers.
The identification of genotyping errors is an important issue in mapping complex disease genes. Although it is common practice to genotype multiple markers in a candidate region in genetic studies, the potential benefit of jointly analyzing multiple markers to detect genotyping errors has not been investigated. In this article, we discuss genotyping error detections for a set of tightly linked ...
متن کاملProbability of detection of genotyping errors and mutations as inheritance inconsistencies in nuclear-family data.
Gene-mapping studies routinely rely on checking for Mendelian transmission of marker alleles in a pedigree, as a means of screening for genotyping errors and mutations, with the implicit assumption that, if a pedigree is consistent with Mendel's laws of inheritance, then there are no genotyping errors. However, the occurrence of inheritance inconsistencies alone is an inadequate measure of the ...
