How to find genetic determinants of naturally varying traits?
Thus far, we have only found linkage to a marker. The causal variant is still unknown.
Mapping imprecision wide mapped interval
Mapping imprecision wide mapped interval You should now know from the first problem set why the LOD score is highest for markers close to the causal variant locus…
Mapping imprecision wide mapped interval But why not just look at the single marker with the best LOD score?
Single best locus isn’t the answer True distance 30 cM Disease-causing mutation Restriction fragment length polymorphism observed recombination fraction = 1/8 = 12.5 cM this is our observation The observed number of recombinants is just a point estimate, with some error associated.

Every linkage study faces this problem What is the causative variant linked to the marker?
How to formulate a guess? Here a very obvious hypothesis. Often not such a large gain or loss.

Fine-mapping: new markers Fig. 11.17
Fine-mapping: new markers Between two humans, 1 polymorphism every 1000 bp; linkage study probably started with a tiny fraction of total.
Fine-mapping: new markers Position of true causal variant A simulation of a qualitative trait in a large mouse cross; sparse marker set Best marker
Fine-mapping: new markers Position of true causal variant Peak looks pretty close—why bother improving resolution? Best marker
Fine-mapping: new markers Position of true causal variant Because you have to hunt through by hand to find the causal gene, and test experimentally. The smaller the region, the better. Best marker
Fine-mapping: new markers Position of true causal variant Increased marker density
Fine-mapping: new markers Position of true causal variant Why did the LOD score go up? More markers increases multiple testing, which boosts LODs in the region. Closer markers have more significant linkage, increasing their LODs. Peak is narrower, so LODs increase in the region. The LOD score scales with the number of markers, so actually it isn’t different if you normalize correctly.
What do functional (e.g. disease-causing) variants look like?
