Motivation
Many rapidly growing areas of research utilize
multiple specialty “boutique” computer
programs to conduct highly specialized
analyses.
The Stata user is faced with two choices:
1. Write new Stata commands that do the same analyses
2. Write Stata commands that efficiently export and import
data for these “boutique” programs

Summary
Stata for Genetic Data Analysis
2007 UK Stata Users Group meeting:
http://www.stata.com/meeting/13uk/
A brief introduction to genetic epidemiology using Stata
Neil Shephard, University of Sheffield
An overview of using Stata to perform candidate gene association analysis will be
presented. Areas covered will include data manipulation, Hardy–Weinberg
equilibrium, calculating and plotting linkage disequilibrium, estimating haplotypes,
and interfacing with external programs.

What is a SNP?
• A SNP is a single nucleotide polymorphism
(the individual nucleotides are called alleles)
Person 1 – Chromosome 1
Person 1 – Chromosome 2
Person 2 – Chromosome 1
Person 2 – Chromosome 2

What is a Haplotype?
• A haplotype is the combination of one or
more alleles found on the same chromosome
– Person 1 has a “gc” haplotype and a “ca” haplotype
– Person 2 has a “cc” haplotype and a “ga” haplotype
Person 1 – Chromosome 1
Person 1 – Chromosome 2
Person 2 – Chromosome 1
Person 2 – Chromosome 2

The PHASE Program
• Unfortunately, haplotypes are not observed directly
using modern, high-throughput lab techniques
• We observe genotypes and must infer the haplotype
structure using algorithms
• PHASE is a very popular program for inferring
haplotypes from many SNPs simultaneously
(Stephens, Smith & Donnelly, 2001)

The HaploView Program
• Once we have inferred our haplotypes, we can
conduct further association analyses using the full
complement of Stata commands.
• We might also want to explore our data in the
popular program HaploView (Barrett et al, 2005)

Compared to recreating “boutique” programs
in Stata, it is relatively easy to create programs
for exporting and importing data.
