  2. The Human Genome 21 000

  3. Polymorphisms (common variation): majority – neutral • The rest: • slightly “bad” (predispose to disease) • slightly “good” (protect from disease) • both slightly bad and good (predispose to and protect from certain conditions) Polymorphisms Minor allele frequency > 1% GENETIC VARIATIONS: alternatives of genomic DNA sequence (alleles) that are present in individual (-s) or population (-s) Minor allele frequency < 1% MUTATIONS Rare variants “Bad”: cause genetic disease

  4. Types of genetic variations CCTAGTTGACTGATCGCGGGATTCACACACATGG CCTGGTTGAC..ATCGCGGGATTCACACACACACATGG • SSR – short sequence repeats • (VNTR - variable number tandem repeats) • many alleles • microsatellites (1-5) • minisatellites (6-100) • … • > 1,000,000 • InDels • (insertions/deletions) • two alleles • > 1,000,000 • Single (point) base changes • two alleles • SNPs • Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms; > 10, 000, 000 • Inversions • Duplications • Translocations • Transposon insertions • Variations exceeding 1000bp - STRUCTURAL VARIATIONS • less than 3 million bp - submicroscopic; larger– microscopic • InDels and duplications are called CNVs (copy number variations)

  5. Molecular Biology of the Cell,4th Edition Each person is unique

  6. At the same time, humans “are essentially identical twins” 6 000 000 000 < 3000 generations RAO(R) – Recent African Origin (and Replacement) 10 000

  7. Genetic diversity is highest in Africans Populationcodes: AF, African-American; AS, Asian; CA,Caucasian; and HL, Hispanic-Latino.

  8. Genetic diversity is highest in Africans

  9. Use of common variations in genetic association studies CD /CV (Common Disease/Common Variants) hypothesis: Common diseases areunderliedby a few common variants CD/RV(Common Disease /Rare Variants) – diseases are driven by manyrare alleles

  10. Genes SNPs SNP map • A map of human genome sequence variation... • The International SNP Map Working Group. Nature (2001) 409, 928-933. • Features of the map: • 1.42 million SNPs • average density 1 SNP every 1.9 kilobases • 60 000 SNPs fall within exons • 85% of exons are within 5 kb of the nearest SNP

  11. Good properties Many 90% Simple binary Even relatively Stable evolutionary MARKERS Properties of SNPs from a distinct point of view Bad property - some SNPs(alleles) increase the risk of disease • Other SNP properties • ~ 0.1% affect protein function • the same number might affect gene expression • Distribution is non-uniform • genome-wide (0.1% - 10%) • between chromosomes (autosomes > X > Y) • more in non-coding than coding regions • in coding sequences silent substitutions> missense • 2/3 are transitions (metC deamination in CpGs) • Cosmopolitan / Population-specific

  12. Analysis of some SNPs can capture effects of other SNPs MARKERS This is possible owing to Linkage Disequilibrium (LD)

  13. G C C G C A G T C G T A Gene SNPs A C C A C A G T A A C C A T C G C C A T A A T A LD There is a limited diversity of haplotypes if LD is present There are many haplotypes in the absence of LD • LD - Linkage Disequilibrium – non-random association among alleles at two or more loci in POPULATION (or a measure of co-segregation of alleles in population) • Haplotype – combination of alleles on a chromosome (usually used with respect to a small region)

  14. There is a limited diversity of haplotypes when LD exists

  15. PA and PB - allele frequencies PAB - haplotype frequencies D = PAB - PA x PB D’= D/DMax 50 % G C 50 % A T 0 % A C 0 % G T 40 % 25 % G G C C 40 % 25 % A A T T 25 % 10 % A A C C 25 % 10 % G G T T The strength of LD varies and can change All SNP alleles in this example have frequency = 50 % A a B b G C A T D = 0.25 D’= 1 Complete LD D = 0.15 D’= 0.6 Partial LD D = 0 D’= 0 No LD

  20. (ii) Demographic processes: genetic drift and “founder” mutations Recombinant DNA, 3rd Edition

  22. (iii) Natural Selection: hitchhiking

  23. LD islands or recombination deserts Recombination rates vary by more than an order of magnitude across the genome

  24. Human genome is made up of haplotype blocks

  25. Human genome is made up of haplotype blocks Haplotype map (HapMap) project – finished in 2005

  26. The practical aim of the HapMap project ‘tag’ SNP MARKERS If haplotypes are known, all common variation of a region can be determined through genotyping just a few tag SNPs
