  1. Polymorphism Haixu Tang School of Informatics

  2. cause inherited diseases Genome variations underlie phenotypic differences

  3. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)

  4. RFLP Haplotype

  5. AATG Microsattelite (short tandem repeats) polymorphysim 7 repeats 8 repeats the repeat region is variable between samples while the flanking regions where PCR primers bind are constant

  6. Which Suspect, A or B, cannot be excluded from potential perpetrators of this assault?

  7. Single nucleotide polymorphism • The highest possible dense polymorphism • A SNP is defined as a single base change in a DNA sequence that occurs in a significant proportion (more than 1 percent) of a large population.

  8. Some Facts • In human beings, 99.9 percent bases are same. • Remaining 0.1 percent makes a person unique. • Different attributes / characteristics / traits • how a person looks, • diseases he or she develops. • These variations can be: • Harmless (change in phenotype) • Harmful (diabetes, cancer, heart disease, Huntington's disease, and hemophilia ) • Latent (variations found in coding and regulatory regions, are not harmful on their own, and the change in each gene only becomes apparent under certain conditions e.g. susceptibility to lung cancer)

  9. SNP facts • SNPs are found in • coding and (mostly) noncoding regions. • Occur with a very high frequency • about 1 in 1000 bases to 1 in 100 to 300 bases. • The abundance of SNPs and the ease with which they can be measured make these genetic variations significant. • SNPs close to particular gene can acts as a marker for that gene.

  10. SNP maps • Sequence genomes of a large number of people • Compare the base sequences to discover SNPs. • Generate a single map of the human genome containing all possible SNPs => SNP maps

  11. look at multiple sequences from the same genome region • use base quality values to decide if mismatches are true polymorphisms or sequencing errors How do we find sequence variations?

  12. Automated polymorphism discovery Marth et al. Nature Genetics 1999

  13. genome reference EST WGS BAC ~ 8 million Sachidanandam et al. Nature 2001 Large SNP mining projects

  14. question: how to select from all available markers a subset that captures most mapping information (marker selection) How to use markers to find disease? genome-wide, dense SNP marker map • genotyping: using millions of markers simultaneously for an association study • depends on the patterns of allelic association in the human genome

  15. Allelic association • allelic association is the non-random assortment between alleles i.e. it measures how well knowledge of the allele state at one site permits prediction at another functional site marker site • significant allelic association between a marker and a functional site permits localization (mapping) even without having the functional site in our collection • by necessity, the strength of allelic association is measured between markers

  16. D=f( ) – f( ) x f( ) Linkage disequilibrium • LD measures the deviation from random assortment of the alleles at a pair of polymorphic sites • other measures of LD are derived from D, by e.g. normalizing according to allele frequencies (r2)

  17. strong association: most chromosomes carry one of a few common haplotypes – reduced haplotype diversity Haplotype diversity • the most useful multi-marker measures of associations are related to haplotype diversity n markers 2n possible haplotypes random assortment of alleles at different sites

  18. Haplotype blocks Daly et al. Nature Genetics 2001 • experimental evidence for reduced haplotype diversity (mainly in European samples)

  19. if the block structure is a general feature of human variation structure, whole-genome association studies will be possible at a reduced genotyping cost • this motivated the HapMap project Gibbs et al. Nature 2003 The promise for medical genetics • within blocks a small number of SNPs are sufficient to distinguish the few common haplotypes  significant marker reduction is possible CACTACCGA CACGACTAT TTGGCGTAT

  20. The HapMap initiative • goal: to map out human allele and association structure of at the kilobase scale • deliverables: a set of physical and informational reagents

  21. A C G C T T C A Haplotyping • the problem: the substrate for genotyping is diploid, genomic DNA; phasing of alleles at multiple loci is in general not possible with certainty • experimental methods of haplotype determination (single-chromosome isolation followed by whole-genome PCR amplification, radiation hybrids, somatic cell hybrids) are expensive and laborious

  22. A example of hyplotyping • Mother GG AT CA TT • Father CC AA AC CT • Children GC AA CC CT • Children GC AT AA TT • Children GC AA AC CT

  23. Haplotypes • a b • Mother I G A C T G T A T • II G T C T G A A T • Father I C A A C C A C T • II C A A T C A C C

  24. A example of hyplotyping • Mother GG AT CA TT • Father CC AA AC CT • Children GC AA CC CT (M-Ia & F-IIb) • Children GC AT AA TT (M-Ib & F-IIa) • Children GC AA AC CT (M-Ia & F-Ia or M-IIb & F-IIb) ?

  25. HapMap Project A freely-available public resource to increase the power and efficiency of genetic association studies to medical traits High-density SNP genotyping across the genome provides information about • SNP validation, frequency, assay conditions • correlation structure of alleles in the genome All data is freely available on the web for application in study design and analyses as researchers see fit

  26. HapMap Samples • 90 Yoruba individuals (30 parent-parent-offspring trios) from Ibadan, Nigeria (YRI) • 90 individuals (30 trios) of European descent from Utah (CEU) • 45 Han Chinese individuals from Beijing (CHB) • 45 Japanese individuals from Tokyo (JPT)

  27. HapMap progress • PHASE I – completed, described in Nature paper • * 1,000,000 SNPs successfully typed in all 270 HapMap samples • PHASE II –data generation complete, data released • * >3,500,000 SNPs typed in total !!!

  28. ENCODE-HAPMAP variation project • Ten “typical” 500kb regions • 48 samples sequenced • All discovered SNPs (and any others in dbSNP) typed in all 270 HapMap samples • Current data set – 1 SNP every 279 bp A much more complete variation resource by which the genome-wide map can evaluated

  29. Tagging from HapMap • Since HapMap describes the majority of common variation in the genome, choosing non-redundant sets of SNPs from HapMap offers considerable efficiency without power loss in association studies
