Lactose Intolerance Rs Lactase Gene A/G A – lactase expressed in adulthood G – lactase expression turns off in adulthood
Lactose Intolerance
Eye Color Rs In OCA2, the oculocutaneous albinism gene (also known as the human P protein gene). Involved in making pigment for eyes, skin, hair. accounts for 74% of variation in human eye color. Rs leads to reduced expression in eye specifically. Null alleles cause albinism
Asparagus Certain compounds in asparagus are metabolized to yield ammonia and various sulfur-containing degradation products, including various thiols and thioesters, which give urine a characteristic smell. Methanethiol (pungent) dimethyl sulfide (pungent) dimethyl disulfide bis(methylthio)methane dimethyl sulfoxide (sweet aroma) dimethyl sulfone (sweet aroma) rs is in a region containing 39 olfactory receptors
Bitter Taste (phenylthiocarbamide) TAS2R38: taste receptor The rs713598(G) allele is the "tasting" allele, and it is dominant to the "non-tasting" allele rs713598(C).
TAS2R38: taste receptor used for similar molecules in foods (like cabbage and raw broccoli) or drinks (like coffee and dark beers).coffee Bitter Taste
Plants produce a variety of toxic compounds in order to protect themselves from being eaten. The ability to discern bitter tastes evolved as a mechanism to prevent early humans from eating poisonous plants. Humans have about 30 genes that code for bitter taste receptors. Each receptor can interact with several compounds, allowing people to taste a wide variety of bitter substances. Bitter Taste
Ear Wax Rs In ABCC11 gene that transports various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. The T allele is loss of function of the protein. Phenotypic implications of wet earwax: Insect trapping, self-cleaning and prevention of dryness of the external auditory canal. Wet earwax: linked to body odor and apocrine colostrum (breast milk).
Ear Wax Rs “the allele T arose in northeast Asia and thereafter spread through the world.”

Missing Heritability
Where is the missing heritability? Lots of minor loci Rare alleles in a small number of loci Gene-gene interactions Gene-environment interactions
Nature Genetics VOLUME 42 | NUMBER 7 | JULY 2010
This approach explains 45% variance in height. Q-Q plot for human height
Rare alleles 1.You wont see the rare alleles unless you sequence 2.Each allele appears once, so need to aggregate alleles in the same gene in order to do statistics. CasesControls

Gene-environment 1.Height gene that requires eating meat 2.Lactase gene that requires drinking milk These are SNPs that have effects only under certain environmental conditions
Genetic principles are universal Am J Hum Genet.Am J Hum Genet May;32(3):
Different genetics for different traits Simple: Lactose tolerance, asparagus smell, photic sneeze Complex: T2D, CVD Same allele: CFTR, Different alleles: BRCA1, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Genotation project update Go to genotation.stanford.edu Click clinical/disease Click show my snps. Do this for CEU and Chinese. ~5200 SNPs ~19000 SNPs in newest update 502 GWAS studies ~1200 GWAS studies in newest update I will create buttons for some of the important studies for class to use. (clinically important, scientific strength, # SNPs) 1.anyone: suggest to me studies you want me to write-up. 2.Anyone: write-up a disease for genotation. Meet with Stuart to discuss and plan. 3.BMI/bioinformatics students: add new functionality to genotation. Create script to calculate running score or riskogram that computes final genetic influence from all SNPs combined. See diabetes for example. Meet with Stuart to discuss and plan.
Ancestry Go to Genotation, Ancestry, PCA (principle components analysis) Load in genome. Start with HGDP world Resolution 10,000 PC1 and PC2 To recapitulate the results of Novembre et al., for the POPRES dataset, use PC1 vs. PC4. Novembre et al. Then go to Ancestry, painting
