Selection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in disease association data

We studied several methods for selecting single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a disease association study. Two major categories for analytical strategy are the univariate and the set selection approaches. The univariate approach evaluates each SNP marker one at a time, while the set selection a...

Sumario:We studied several methods for selecting single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a disease association study. Two major categories for analytical strategy are the univariate and the set selection approaches. The univariate approach evaluates each SNP marker one at a time, while the set selection approach tests disease association of a set of SNP markers simultaneously. We examined various test statistics that can be utilized in testing disease association and also reviewed several multiple testing procedures that can properly control the family-wise error rates when the univariate approach is applied to multiple markers. The set association methods were then briefly reviewed. Finally, we applied these methods to the data from Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA).
