Genetics in Clinical Research Jonathan L. Haines, Ph.D. Center for Human Genetics Research 7/16/04 CLASSES OF HUMAN GENETIC DISEASE • Diseases of Simple Genetic Architecture – – – – Can tell how trait is passed in a family: follows a recognizable pattern One gene per family Often called Mendelian disease “Causative” gene • Diseases of Complex Genetic Architecture – No clear pattern of inheritance – Moderate to strong evidence of being inherited – May be: • common in population: dementia, stroke, tremor, etc. • Rare in population: Adverse drug response, primary lateral sclerosis, etc. – Involves many genes or genes and environment – “Susceptibility” genes – This is your trait! COMMON COMPLEX DISEASE Environment Epidemiologists Genotyp e Complex Disease Geneticists Phenotyp e Clinicians Analysis Biostatisticians Why Test the Genes? • Basic Science: Better understanding of biology of disease – Direct probe into functional pathways – Target for detecting interacting factors – Better definition of disease • Clinical Science: Making this knowledge useful – – – – Improved diagnostic testing Presymptomatic testing Improved prognostic testing Improved treatment (e.g. pharmacogenetics) Why test the Genes? Practical reasons • Can help make sense of results – If there is a lot of variability, it may be due to genetics – Can clean up the analysis and find significant results! – Can add a sexy new component to your study – It can be easy and cheap through the GCRC! • Virtually all GCRC studies have a potential genetic component • Pilot data can lead to larger funded studies DISEASE GENE DISCOVERY • Broad Search (Genomic screen) – Examine a large but representative subset of all genomic variations. Not hindered by poor assumptions of biology. – Use families with more than one affected individual. – Problem: Lots of genes at the same location! • Targeted Search (Candidate genes) – Examine a specific and small set of candidate variations based on what we know about the biology of the disease. – Can use both families with multiple affected individuals and families with only one affected individual. – Problem: There are 50,000 genes and we know very little about their function! Genome Project Genome Toolbox • Physical map: genome sequence – multiple different species • Genetic map: recombination • Linkage disequilibrium map: HapMap • Variation maps – – – – Repeats Deletions Duplications SNPs • Homology maps • Hardware Technology – Sequencing – Genotyping • Software Technology – Public databases – Analysis programs • Increased productivity – Experiments now possible that were considered impossible just 2 years ago Study Study Designs Designs Linkage Analysis Large Families Small Families Association Studies Family-Based Case-Control Association Study Designs • Family-based analysis – Two flavors • Trio (patient and both parents) • Discordant sibpairs – Multiple statistical methods for analysis – Advantage: inherent control for genetic background – Disadvantage: family-based • Case-Control – Standard epidemiological design – Statistical methods • logistic or linear regression • Statistical genetics methods • Case only – Outcomes analysis Genetic Association Analysis • Can incorporate gene/gene interactions – Look at two or more genes at a time • Logistic regression • MDR • Can incorporate gene/environment interactions – Logistic regression – MDR Need To Characterize The Gene • Use genome databases to get known information – – – – – Gene location (NCBI, Ensembl, Celera) Gene structure (NCBI, Ensembl, Celera) Possible gene functions (OMIM, NCBI, KEGG) Gene expression (tissue localization) (NCBI) Gene variation (HapMap, dbSNP, Celera, OMIM) • • • • Deletions Mutations SNPs LD relationships Gene Characterization • Choose what variants to examine • Decide if further polymorphism discovery is needed • Many factors to be considered: – – – – Frequency of variant Genotyping platform and assay development LD relationships Availability and quality of DNA Essential Problem in Choosing the Gene(s) to Study • How do we integrate all the available information that we and others generate? • How do we locate the one or few genetic variations involved in our trait in the sea of hundreds or thousands of possible variations? • Most methods identify a set, often a large set, of possible variations. Genomic Convergence Metabolism Association Expression Genomic convergence identifies the intersection of genes found through multiple methods such as drug metabolism, allelic association analysis, and gene expression studies. Using Your Time and Effort Wisely • Design your study. Genetics can be added easily and will only benefit, not hinder, the main study • Do not waste time on the details! We have the expertise to help make it happen.
