4. 4 of 51 Functional Consequences TypeConsequence SNPs in coding area that alter aa sequence Cause of most monogenic disorders, e.g: Cystic fibrosis (CFTR) Hemophilia (F8) SNPs in coding areas that don’t alter aa sequence May affect splicing SNPs in promoter or regulatory regions May affect the level, location or timing of gene expression SNPs in other regionsNo direct known impact on phenotype Useful as markers

5. 5 of 51 Cause disease (SNP in clotting factor IX codes for a stop codon: haemophilia) Increase disease risk (SNP in LDL receptor reduces efficiancy: high cholesterol) Affect drug response (2 million hospitalized patients suffer serious adverse drug reactions, with more than 100,000 are fatal*) Sequence Polymorphisms Effects

31. 31 of 51 Haplotyping A haplotype is a set of SNPs (on average ~25 kb) found to be statistically associated on a single chromatid and which therefore tend to be inherited together over time. Haplotyping involves grouping subjects by haplotypes.

32. 32 of 51 Locus specific databases (LSDB) Databases that focus on one gene or one disease e.g. p53, ABO, collagen e.g. Albinism, cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer’s disease User communities: Research groups-disease and function driven Clinicians – driven by genetic testing of patients

34. 34 of 51 LSDB examples

35. 35 of 51 Why is it difficult to merge these data? Historical reasons. LSDBs sometimes Use sequences which do not start at Methionine Use transcript coordinates not genomic Use a different transcript for reporting mutations Regularly changes with new assemblies/gene builds It may contain minor alleles or rare alleles It may be inaccurate Missing genes (e.g. no α-haemoglobin - Thalasemia) Mixture of sequences from different individuals
