Bioinformatics challenges for “genome-wide association” studies
Jason H. Moore, Folkert W. Asselbergs, Scott M. Williams (2010) Presented by: Md Rakibul Islam
2
Genome Wide Association Studies
A genetic study design that attempts to identify commonly occurring genetic variants that contribute to disease risk Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) are associated with traits (phenotype) Started from 2005 and still going …… Photo-Credit: Genome.GOV

Terminologies Manhattan Plot SNP/Allele Photo-Credit: Wikipedia
5
Terminologies Genotype-Phenotype

Personalized Medicine
Why it’s Important? Disease Development Diagnose Treat Till now Identified Type 2 diabetes Alzheimer’s disease Parkinson’s disease Crohn’s disease ……. Personalized Medicine
8
What are the Challenges?
Discovered “Small effect” size SNP Modeling of complex genotype–phenotype relationships Photo-Credit: WikiPedia

This review discusses What’s wrong with them? Ignores known knowledge
Linear Modeling Framework (one SNP at a time), missing Context This review discusses Computational Methods (Data Mining, Machine Learning) Bio-Statistics Methods
10
Benefits of Data Mining and Machine Learning
Can model higher order non-liner interactions Feature Selection algorithms will reduce the exhaustive search Better interpretation of the non-linear genetic models
11
Computational Modeling using Random Forest
Advantages Noisy data False Positive data Good Performance
12
Computational Modeling Multifactor DR
Advantages Another way of detecting non-linear patterns Complementary of RF’s, NN, and Logistic Regression
13
Attribute Selection Filter Algorithm (Relief, ReliefF)
14
Attribute Selection Wrapper Algorithm (Genetic Programming)
15
Other Challenges Knowledge Database Construction Software Challenges
16
Final Combined Approach
