CS177 Lecture 10 SNPs and Human Genetic Variation Tom Madej 11.21.05

Lecture overview Human genetic variation, HapMap project. Experimental methods: PCR, X-ray crystallography, microarrays.

Motivations to study human genetic variation The evolution of our species and its history. Understand the genetics of diseases, esp. the more common complex ones such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative. To allow pharmaceutical treatments to be tailored to individuals (adverse reactions based on genetics).

Genetic variation The human genome has approximately 10 million polymorphisms, i.e. genetic variants that occur at the level of about 1% or more in the population. Many of these polymorphisms are SNPs, single nucleotide polymorphisms. These polymorphisms contribute to our individuality, and also influence our susceptibility to various diseases.

Mendelian and non-Mendelian diseases Geneticists have been very successful in discovering the variations due to Mendelian disorders. These are characterized by in that they follow the Mendelian rules of inheritance. The study of particular families using linkage analysis has been successful for the Mendelian diseases. However, the more common complex (i.e. non-Mendelian) disorders have been much more difficult to investigate, even there there are clearly genetic components to many of these diseases.

Sources of genetic variation (during meiosis) Chromosomal reassortment; a human has 23 pairs of chromosomes, one of each pair is inherited from the father, and the other one from the mother. Mutation; errors in DNA copying. This may result in SNPs or also larger portions of DNA may be duplicated or copied incorrectly. Genetic recombination; shuffling of segments between partner chromosomes of a pair.

Reassortment of genetic material during meiosis Molecular Biology of the Cell, Alberts et al. Garland Publishing 2002 (Fig. 20-8)

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) Major source of genetic variation. Estimated approx. 7 million SNPs that occur with frequencies at least 5% in the human population; approx. 11 million with frequencies at least 1%. Can we determine the associations between these variants and diseases?

Other types of genetic variations…

International HapMap project Haplotype – set of variants on a chromosome that tend to inherited as a block. Provide a collection of SNPs spanning the genome, and serving as genetic markers. Study correlations (linkage disequilibrium, LD) between the SNPs. Provide a guide for whole genome association studies.

HapMap project Project was launched in Oct 2002. In the first phase genotyped 1.1 million SNPs in 269 individuals from four ethnic origins. Second phase will genotype another 4.6 million SNPs. Goal was to find most SNPs that occur with frequencies of at least 5% in the human population.

Statistics digression: here is an example of a commonly used correlation measure…

LD and recombination hotspots

Correlated (LD) SNPs and tag SNPs Nature Genetics: published online Oct 30, 2005; doi:10.1038/ng1688

Haplotype diversity Nature, v. 437 Oct 27, 2005, p.1306

LD summary The human genome consists of regions of low polymorphism (i.e. low sequence variation) of sizes from 10-100 kb, interspersed with regions of high polymorphism. This seems to be due to “recombination hotspots” in the chromosomes. The inheritance of chromosomal regions without recombination (haplotypes) means that certain combinations of genes are widespread across the human population.

Exercise! Go to www.hapmap.org, and select “Browse Project Data” (link on the left). In the “Landmark or Region” box enter: DTNBP1, then click “Search”. Select the NM_032122 link (isoform a). Take a look at the Overview and Details. Go down to “Tracks”, select “Analysis All on”, and then “Update Image”. Take a look at the LD map, phased haplotypes, and list of tag SNPs.

Whole genome association study Given a sample of people, some with and some without a certain trait/phenotype (e.g. a certain disease). Call the two sets cases and controls. Investigate the genetic factors shared by the cases, but absent from the controls; i.e. find the associations between the genetic factors and the disease. The most straightforward way: genotype all the individuals. But this is far too expensive with current technology!

The HapMap data is useful for whole genome association studies… The collection of SNPs give us common genetic markers. By using tag SNPs we can reduce the number of SNPs that need to be genotyped in the study. It is even possible to produce SNP chips with a few hundred thousand tag SNPs that can be used for the genotyping. But statistical studies need to be done!
