Abstract

Resequencing is an emerging tool for identification of rare disease-associated mutations. Rare mutations are difficult to tag with SNP genotyping, as genotyping studies are designed to detect common variants. However, studies have shown that genetic heterogeneity is a probable scenario for common diseases, in which multiple rare mutations together explain a large proportion of the genetic basis for the disease. Thus, we propose a weighted-sum method to jointly analyse a group of mutations in order to test for groupwise association with disease status. For example, such a group of mutations may result from resequencing a gene. We compare the proposed weighted-sum method to alternative methods and show that it is powerful for identifying disease-associated genes, both on simulated and Encode data. Using the weighted-sum method, a resequencing study can identify a disease-associated gene with an overall population attributable risk (PAR) of 2%, even when each individual mutation has much lower PAR, using 1,000 to 7,000 affected and unaffected individuals, depending on the underlying genetic model. This study thus demonstrates that resequencing studies can identify important genetic associations, provided that specialised analysis methods, such as the weighted-sum method, are used.

Figure 2 Power versus PAR of group. The power of the investigated methods is shown for different levels of group-PAR. The power simulations were performed using nA = nU = 1000 individuals, 50 D-variants, 50 N-variants and pM = 10%.CC BY · PubMed Central

Figure 3 Power versus number of D-variants. The power of the investigated methods is shown for different number of D-variants (disease-risk contributing variants). The power simulations were performed using nA = nU = 1000 individuals, 50% D-variants, group PAR of 10% and pM = 10%. Note that the jump in the power for the CMC method under the Recessive-set model occurs because a low number of variants yields a high allele-frequency of each variant, and the variants are hence not grouped by the CMC method.CC BY · PubMed Central

Figure 4 Power versus proportion of D-variants. The power of the investigated methods is shown for different proportions of D-variants (disease-risk contributing variants).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
