Polymorphism Base pair substitutions Synonymous - Do not result in a new amino acid in the protein sequence. GCA (Alanine) to GCG (Alanine) (Silent mutation) Non-synonymous - Result in a new amino acid in the protein sequence. GAG (Glutamate) to GTG (Valine) (Missense mutation) - codon 6 substitution in the beta-globin protein chain causes sickle-cell anemia Nonsense mutations - Result in a termination codon. CAG (Glutamine) to TAG (stop)

Polymorphism Insertions - Deletions GAG TTT TCT CGG AAT GGT GGT GCT AAT GLU PHE SER ARG ASN GLY GLY ALA ASN GAG TTT CGG AAT GGT GGT GCT AAT GLU PHE ARG ASN GLY GLY ALA ASN - Fragile X Syndrome (X-linked retardation) Tandem CCG repeats - severity of disease depends on number of repeats - Huntington’s Disease Tandem CAG repeats adding Glutamine to encoded Huntingtin protein. Increasing number of proteins destabilizes the protein and interferes with synaptic transmission and leads to apoptosis of brain cells.

Vitamin D Metabolism 25-Hydroxylase (P450C25): Hydroxylates Vitamin D 3 producing 25(OH)D. 1-a-Hydroxylase (CYP27B1): Activates 25(OH)D to 1,25(OH) 2 D. 24-Hydroxylase (P450C24): Removes excess 25(OH)D from circulation and excess 1,25(OH) 2 D from the kidney. VDR: Mediates effects of 1,25(OH)2D. (1-a-Hydroxylase) (24-Hydroxylase) (25-Hydroxylase) VDR Ohmdahl et al. Ann. Rev. Nutr

HapMap The International HapMap Project is analyzing DNA from a total of 270 people from populations with African, Asian, and European ancestry. Nigeria - 30 trio samples (two parents and an adult child) from Yoruba Japan - 45 unrelated individuals from Tokyo China - 45 unrelated individuals from Beijing U.S. – 30 trio samples with northern and western European ancestry. Genotyping all individuals for a SNP ~ 1,000 – 2,000 base-pairs.

Resequencing

Resequencing Resources Systematic identification and genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in environmental response, inflammation, immunity genes. Candidate genes are sequenced across a panel of individuals (~90) of known ethniticies to identify common sequence variation for functional analysis and population-based studies. Websites provide tools for haplotype determination and TagSNP selection. Environmental Genome Project Seattle SNPs Innate Immunity
