The PTC Gene Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) Taste Sensitivity
Family Studies • Familial Relationships • Twins • Siblings • Parents/offspring • Phenotype information • Affected/Unaffected (Prostate Cancer) • Quantitative measure (Blood Pressure) • No Genotype information required
Why do Family Studies? • Is the trait genetic? • What is the mode of transmission? • Dominant • Recessive • Additive • Polygenic (Multiple genes involved)

Linkage Analysis • Narrow down position of disease gene • No biological knowledge needed • Genetic markers (not disease gene) • Recombination
Recombination • First discovered in Drosophila • Two traits known to exist on the same chromosome were not always inherited together
Recombination A A a a B B b b A a b B
a a A A b B B b a A a a b B b b Phase known
Back Cross a A a a b B b b A a a a A a a a b b b b B b B b
Recombination a A a a b B b b R NR NR R A a a a A a a a b b b b B b B b

Recombination Fraction Recombination Fraction q = Recombinants / Total = 61 + 77 / 61 + 77 + 442 + 420 = 138 / 1000 = 13.8% 61 420 442 77 A a a a A a a a b b b b B b B b
Linkage • Recombination fraction q < 50% • Two traits • Two genetic markers • One trait and one genetic marker Linkage Analysis

Linkage Analysis • LOD score based on recombination • LOD (q) = log (q)R (1 - q)NR ____________________ (q = 1/2) R + NR
Linkage Analysis 1 2 3 3 R NR NR 1 3 2 3 2 3
Linkage Analysis LOD (q) = log (q)1 (1 - q)2 ____________________ (q = 1/2) 1 + 2 = 0.07 for q = 1/3
IBD • Identity by descent • Allele Sharing methods • Often used for affected sib pairs
Identity By Descent a A a A 25% 25% 25% 25% A A a A A a a a
Identity By Descent Sibling 1 A A Alleles shared IBD 2 1 1 0 A A a A A a a a
Identity By Descent Sibling 1 A A 2 1 1 0 A A a A A a a a
Identity By Descent Parent 1 a A Alleles shared IBD 1 1 1 1 A A a A A a a a
Identity By Descent Parent 1 a A 2 1 1 0 A A a A A a a a
Identity By Descent • IBD can be used for linkage analysis • Expect 50% alleles shared between siblings • > 50% for concordant pairs • < 50% for discordant pairs
Genome-wide Linkage Analysis Genetic Markers q = 10% on average Genes
The PTC linkage study • Positional Cloning study design • Blind Sorting Test • 267 individuals in 27 large families • LOD of 8.85 on 7q31 near KEL
Gene Identification • 4 Mb critical region • Too small for linkage analysis • Linkage Disequilibrium mapping • Fine scale Positional Cloning
