Introduction


A genome-wide association study is an approach that
involves rapidly scanning markers across the
complete sets of DNA, or genomes, of many people
to find genetic variations associated with a particular
disease.
Once new genetic associations are identified,
researchers can use the information to develop better
strategies to detect, treat and prevent the disease.
Such studies are particularly useful in finding genetic
variations that contribute to common, complex
diseases, such as asthma, cancer, diabetes, heart
disease and mental illnesses.

Definition of GWAS
A genome-wide association study is
defined as any study of genetic
variation across the entire human
genome that is designed to identify
genetic associations with observable
traits (such as blood pressure or
weight), or the presence or absence of
a disease (such as cancer) or condition.
Potential of GWAS


Whole genome information, when combined with
epidemiological, clinical and other phenotype data,
offers the potential for increased understanding of
basic biological processes affecting human health,
improvement in the prediction of disease and patient
care, and ultimately the realization of the promise of
personalized medicine.
In addition, rapid advances in understanding the
patterns of human genetic variation and maturing
high-throughput, cost-effective methods for
genotyping are providing powerful research tools for
identifying genetic variants that contribute to health
and disease.

SNP Selection
Affymetrix® Genome-Wide
Human SNP Array

The new Affymetrix® Genome-Wide Human
SNP Array 6.0 features 1.8 million genetic
markers, including more than 906,600 single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and more
than 946,000 probes for the detection of copy
number variation. The SNP Array 6.0
represents more genetic variation on a single
array than any other product, providing
maximum panel power and the highest
physical coverage of the genome.
The need for GWA

Current understanding of disease etiology is limited


Current understanding of functional variants is limited


Xu JF, 2007
Therefore, the focusing on nonsynonymous changes is not sufficient
Results from linkage studies are often inconsistent and broad


Therefore, candidate genes or pathways are insufficient
Therefore, the utility of identified linkage regions is limited
GWA studies offer an effective and objective approach

Better chance to identify disease associated variants

Improve understanding of disease etiology

Improve ability to test gene-gene interaction and predict disease risk
GWA is promising

Many diseases and traits are influenced by genetic factors


Over 12 millions SNPs are known in the genome


i.e., it is affordable to genotype a large number of SNPs in the genome
Large numbers of cases and controls are available


i.e., some SNPs will be directly or indirectly associated with causal variants
The cost of SNP Genotyping is reduced


i.e., they are caused by sequence variants in the genome
i.e., there is statistical power to detect variants with modest effect
When the above conditions are met…

…associated SNPs will have different frequencies between cases
GWA is challenging


Many diseases and traits are influenced by genetic factors

But probably due to multiple modest risk variants

They confer a stronger risk when they interact

True associated SNPs are not necessary highly significant
Too many SNPs are evaluated


Single studies tend to be underpowered


Hypothesis

The overall hypothesis is that multiple
sequence variants in the genome are
associated with the risk of lung cancer
among non-smokers. Specifically, we
hypothesize that a number of common
nonsmoking lung cancer risk-modifying
SNPs are in strong LD with the SNPs
arrayed on the 500K GeneChip®.

Excitation Optics
The excitation optics consist of multiple fixed wavelength lasers,
beam shaping optics, and individual pinholes which result in spatially
separated beam spots.
A final lens focuses the laser light into the gel-coupled cuvette flow
cell. Since the optical pathway and the sample core stream are fixed,
alignment is constant from day to day and from experiment to
experiment.
Collection Optics
Emitted light from the gel-coupled cuvette is delivered by fiber optics
to the detector arrays. The collection optics are set up in patented
octagon- and trigon-shaped optical pathways that maximize signal
detection resulting from each laser illuminated beam spot. Bandpass
filters in front of each PMT allow spectral selection of the collected
wavelengths. Importantly, this arrangement allows filter and mirror
changes within the optical array to be made easily and requires no
additional alignment for maximum signal strength.
The analyzer can be configured
with up to 5 lasers to detect up
to 20 parameters simultaneously
to support ever increasing
demands in multicolor flow
cytometry. A wide range of up to
34 laser choices is available as
excitation sources, including
blue, red, violet, yellow-green,
and UV
FACSAria
Three lasers provide excitation at 407, 488, and 633 nm for analysis of up to 10 fluorescence channels plus forward and side scatter
Digital electronics

Spectral overlap
http://bitesizebio.com/13696/introduction-to-spectral-overlap-and-compensation-flow-cytometry-protocol/
Compensation is the process of correcting the
spillover from our primary signal in each
secondary channel it is measured in.
Figure 2: Fluorescein emission profile with two filters overlaid. The standard filter for fluorescein is a 530/30 filter. This filter allows
light between 515-545 nm to pass through the filter. The second filter, 585/42, is a common filter for the fluorescent molecule
phycoerythrin (PE) and allows light between 564-606 nm to pass. The overlap of the fluorescein molecule into the PE detector
indicates that approximately 12% of the fluorescein molecule is being measured in the PE detector. Figure generated using the
Invitrogen spectral viewer.
