Outline
Tagging SNPs
a, SNPs. four versions of the same chromosome region in different people showing three bases where variation occurs. Each SNP has two possible alleles; the first SNP in panel a has the alleles C and T.
b, Haplotypes. A haplotype is made up of a particular combination of alleles at nearby SNPs. a. For this region, most of the chromosomes in a population survey turn out to have haplotypes 1–4.
c, Tag SNPs. Genotyping just the three tag SNPs out of the 20 SNPs is sufficient to identify these four haplotypes uniquely.
A SNP or a set of SNPs that have been selected on the basis of linkage
disequilibrium (LD) patterns to represent other SNPs
Tagging SNPs
Advantages of tagging SNPs– Fewer SNPs can be used to construct genome wide linkage
disequilibrium map.
Potential problems– How well do the selected tags represent undetected variation in
the original sample?– How well will the tags represent variation (both detected and
undetected) in a new sample from the same population? – How well do they represent different populations having different
LD patterns?
Aims
• Identify and evaluate tSNPs for genes involved in the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs (ADME genes)
Materials and Methods• Selection of tSNPs
– haplotype r2 criterion
• Evaluation of tSNPs – dropped SNP−plus−resampling approach
• Comparison of SNPs with different MAF – two-tailed Wilcoxon paired-sample rank test
• Genes, SNP selection and choice of populations – a target density of 1 SNP of MAF > 10% per 2 kb of genomic DNA
• Gene clusters – no two genes from a cluster to be separated by more than 50 kb
Haplotype r2
• Haplotype r2 is the coefficient of determination (ie. The proportion of explained variation) obtained from a standard linear regression of the allelic state (coded 0/1) of a SNP in question against the haplotypes determined by the tSNP set. This regression is equivalent to a one-way analysis of variance with each tSNP-defined haplotype as a separate group.
• It allows assessment of the loss of power resulting from typing a tSNP as opposed to the causal variant with which it is associated
Minor allelic frequency (MEF)
Indicates the number of occurrences of an allele seen in the total number of
chromosomes typed at the SNP site
Conclusions
• The effect of MAF on tSNP performance is heavily dependent on the size of the LD sample
• Comprehensive tagging will require a high genotyping density (one SNP of MAF ≥5% per 2.5 kb )
• Performance of population specific tSNPs sets in predicting functional variants is similar to that of random SNPs.
• Haplotype r2 based tSNP selection is highly effective even when applied to a population different from LD sample.
• Rare variants are not well tagged.
