  6. Gene (fixed at conception) Mechanism Time (decades . . . ) “Intermediate” in time and causality Twins Cardiorenal disease trait (later life)

  7. Twins: window into heritability (h2) of any phenotype Monozygotic (MZ, identical) twins: Billy and Benny . . . VP = VG + VE h2 = VG/VP = 2(RMZ - RDZ) Source: Guinness Book of World Records.

  8. Total mole count for MZ and DZ twins MZ twins - 153 pairs, r = 0.94 DZ twins - 199 pairs, r = 0.60 400 400 300 300 Twin 1 Twin 1 200 200 100 100 0 0 0 100 200 300 400 0 100 200 300 400 Twin 2 Twin 2

  9. Family studies (twin pairs, pedigrees). Fam hx as a risk factor. In 1st degree relatives: Parents, siblings. Heritability (h2): Fraction of trait variance accounted for by genetic variance. VP = VG + VE h2 = VG/VP Estimate h2 from twin pair (or pedigree) studies: Type of twin pair Allele sharing across the genome. MZ = monozygotic = identical. 100% DZ = dizygotic = fraternal ~50% (on average), like any sib pair Quick-and-dirty algorithm: h2 = VG/VP = 2(RMZ – RDZ)

  12. Linkage Markers…

  13. Thomas Hunt Morgan – discoverer of linkage

  14. Idiosyncratic features of genetic linkage (= meiotic co-segregation). Units. Metric = meiotic recombination (~50 meioses/generation). Units of genetic distance = recombination during meiosis (cM). cM = (recombinant meioses/total meioses)*100 E.g.: [8/(8+86)]*100 =(8/94)*100 = 8.5 cM 1 cM ~ 1 Mb Range ~0.5-2.0 Varies by species, sex, chromosomal region (meiotic “hot spots”) Significance. “LOD” scores. LOD = Log10 of the odds ratio for linkage Odds ratio: Co-segregation (marker and trait) Not Significant: LOD >3.0 (i.e., odds ratio > 1000/1) Why 3.0? ~50 “linkage groups” (meiotic breaks/generation), target =0.05. 1/50*1/20=1/1000.

  15. Genetic linkage: Meiotic recombination distance in cM cM = (recombinant meioses/total meioses)*100 [8/(8+86)]*100 =(8/94)*100 = 8.5 cM 1 cM ~ 1 Mb Range ~0.5-2.0 Varies by species, sex, chromosomal region (meiotic “hot spots”) Mahata SK, Kozak CA, Szpirer J, Szpirer C, Modi WS, Gerdes HH, Huttner WB, O'Connor DT.

  22. Haplotype: Ordered array of alleles along a single chromosome. Biallelic SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms). Typically “transitions”: Purine  Purine (G  A) Pyrimidine  Pyrimidine (C  T) Chromosome Paternal Maternal T C A G C T G A pter  qter 5’  3’

  23. “Linkage disequilibrium” (LD): Local, marker-on-marker locus Equilibrium = randomness (no correlation, r2=0) Disequilibrium = non-random (correlated, r2>0) Marker-on-trait locus: Mapping tool 0.0 r2 0.5 0.5 0.9 0.9 0.90.00.90.9 0.9 T A C G T A C G Paternal Maternal Biallelic SNPs C G T C C G T A 5’  3’ Ancestral (shared) Meiotic recombination

  24. Linkage disequilibrium (LD). Marker  trait Marker  marker In population genetics, linkage disequilibrium is the non-random association of alleles at two or more loci. Linkage disequilibrium describes a situation in which some combinations of alleles or genetic markers occur more or less frequently in a population than would be expected from a random formation of haplotypes from alleles based on their frequencies. Non-random associations between polymorphisms at different loci are measured by the degree of linkage disequilibrium (LD). The level of linkage disequilibrium is influenced by a number of factors including the rate of meiotic recombination (crossovers) and the rate of mutation.

  30. Drilling down to the “QTN” (“Quantitative Trait Nucleotide”) • Haplotype “block” is the lower limit of resolution of marker-on-trait mapping. • Switch to studies of associated variants: • In cella. E.g., transfected/expressed variants. • In vitro. E.g., kinetic properties of variants. • In vivo: transgenic mice (BAC haplotype variant expression on knockout background).
