SNP Applications

Human Genome and SNPs
• Now that the human genome is (mostly)
sequenced, attention turning to the
evaluation of variation
• Alterations in DNA involving a single base
pair are called single nucleotide
polymorphisms, or SNPs
• Map of ~1.4 million SNPs (Feb 2001)
• It is estimated that ~60,000 SNPs occur
within exons; 85% of exons within 5 kb
of nearest SNP

Goals of SNP Initiatives
• Immediate goals:
– Detection/identification of …
– The hundreds of thousands of SNPs
estimated to be present in the
human genome
– Interest also in other organisms, e.g.
potatoes(!)
– Establishment of SNP Database(s)
Longer term goals: Areas of
SNP Application
• Gene discovery and mapping
• Association-based candidate
polymorphism testing
• Diagnostics/risk profiling
• Response prediction
• Homogeneity testing/study design
• Gene function identification
• …etc.
• See Schork, Fallin, Lanchbury 2000
Polymorphism
• Technical definition: most common
variant (allele) occurs with less than 99%
frequency in the population
• Also used as a general term for variation
• Many types of DNA polymorphisms,
including RFLPs, VNTRs, microsatellites
• ‘Highly polymorphic’ = many variants
Use of Polymorphism in
Gene Mapping
• 1980s – RFLP marker maps
• 1990s – microsatellite marker maps
SNPs in Genetic Analysis
• Abundance – lots
• Position – throughout genome
• Haplotype patterns – groups of SNPs
may provide exploitable diversity
• Rapid and efficient to genotype
• Increased stability over other types of
mutation
• Recombination patterns – e.g. ‘hot spots’
Gene Discovery and Mapping
• Linkage Analysis
– Within-family associations between
marker and putative trait loci
• Linkage Disequilibrium (LD)
– Across-family associations
One locus: Founder
genotype probabilities
• Founder: individual whose parents are
not in the pedigree
• Usually obtain genotype probs. assuming
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE):
Say P(D) = p, P(d) = 1-p;
Then P(DD) = p2, P(Dd) = 2p(1-p), P(dd) = (1-p)2
• Genotypes of founder couples treated as
independent:
P(Father Dd and Mother DD) = 2p(1-p)3
One locus: Transmission
probabilities (I)
• Offspring get their genes according to Mendel’s
rules…
• Independently for different offspring

P(3 dd & 4 Dd & 5 DD| 1 Dd & 2 Dd)
= (½ x ½) x (2 x ½ x ½) x (½ x ½)
One locus: Penetrance
• Usual to assume that the chance of
having a particular phenotype (being
affected with a disease, say) depends
only on the genotype at one locus
• Complete penetrance:
P(affected|DD) = 1
• Incomplete penetrance:
P(affected|DD) = p (<1)
One locus: putting it all together

Recombination

(1-)/2 ½
½
Recombination Fraction
•  = ½ : independent assortment (Mendel)
•  < ½ : linked loci
•  = 0 : tightly linked loci (no recombination)
• In 3, if the loci are linked then D-T and d-t
are parental haplotypes, D-t and d-T are
recombinant haplotypes
LOD-score Linkage Analysis
• LOD(*) = log10 of the odds ratio L:
L = P(data|*)/P(data|½)
• LOD(*) measures the relative strength
of the data for  = * rather than  = ½
• Can compute LOD() at several values
• Can find the value  maximizing the LOD
IBD Allele Sharing
Allele-sharing Methods
• Based on number (or proportion) of
alleles shared identical by descent
(IBD) of related individuals
• Can be done either assuming
(likelihood-based) or not assuming
(nonparametric) a genetic mode of
inheritance for a trait
Errors
• Genotyping errors can result in false
positive or false negative findings
• Data checking/cleaning necessary
(although there are approaches which
model error)
• Must be especially careful with SNP
genotypes, because errors often pass
simple Mendelian checks
Disease-Marker Association
• A marker locus is associated with a
disease if the distribution of genotypes
at the marker locus in disease-affected
individuals differs from the distribution
in the general population
• A specific allele may be positively
associated (over-represented in
affecteds) or negatively associated
(under-represented)
Examples: Alzheimer’s
• Alzheimer’s disease and ApoE
E4 present
E4 absent
Patients
58

Controls

The E4 allele appears to be positively associated
with Alzheimer’s disease:
Odds Ratio = (58/16)/(33/55) = 6

Linkage Disequilibrium
Disease locus
LD
Marker locus
Alleles M, m
Alleles D, d
penetrance
Disease
Linkage Disequilibrium
• Concept of the ‘historical recombinant’
• Explanations for observed association
between marker and disease:
– Marker locus may be a disease
susceptibility locus
– Marker locus may be linked to disease
susceptibility locus
– Spurious result due, e.g. to admixture,
population stratification, heterogeneity
Linkage and LD
Mutation occurs
Nearby marker
Allele D is created
Allele M was nearby
D and M subsequently transmitted together
Candidate Polymorphism Testing
• Linkage and LD assume markers have
indirect association with the trait
• Large SNP collections may allow
testing for direct, physiologically
relevant associations with trait
Diagnostics/Risk Profiling
• Identified SNP associations can
potentially be used to develop
diagnostic tools
• Applicability will require large-scale
studies, since most diseases of
interest now are influenced by many
genetic and nongenetic factors
Response Prediction
• Related to diagnosis/risk assessment
• Strategy: stratify populations to
improve effectiveness of interventions
• Pharmaceutical companies especially
interested in this:
– Aim to identify those likely to respond
– Predict toxicity reactions in susceptible
individuals
• Response to any kind of substance;
creation of ‘functional foods’
Homogeneity Testing
• Test to protect against false inferences
about the relationship between
endpoints (e.g. disease) and risk factors
• Assess generalizability of results
• Can assess the homogeneity of the
genetic background of study
participants using a panel of randomly
distributed SNPs
Gene Function Identification
• Alternative to other experimental
procedures (e.g. knock-outs, which
cannot be used in humans)
• Studies to compare individuals with
and without naturally occurring
disease predisposing genetic profiles
Haplotype Variation
• The large databases already available
(and increasing in size) should allow
characterization of haplotype
variation across the genome in
different populations
• Can help population geneticists trace
evolution and reveal connections
between populations/ethnic groups
