  4. Motivation Methods Results Epistasis ◮ Epistasis: interaction between two or more genes ◮ known to be fundamental for the function of regulatory pathways in mammals ◮ implies its importance for the development of complex diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer‘s disease, diabetes Marit Ackermann Biotec TU Dresden Family-based analysis of genome-wide gene × gene interactions

  5. Motivation Methods Results Traditional Approaches ◮ for yeast and worms large scale double knock-outs and knock-downs exist ◮ linkage and association studies in mammals concentrate on either single locus associations or interactions between few preselected loci ◮ major reasons: non-availability of large and suitable data for analysis of interaction effects, low power of the studies Marit Ackermann Biotec TU Dresden Family-based analysis of genome-wide gene × gene interactions

  6. Motivation Methods Results Genome-Wide Screen in Mammals ◮ recent advances in biotechnology allow genome-wide genotyping of thousands of individuals → can be used to study epistatic effects over whole genome ◮ genotyped individuals possibly related → take population structure into account; even make use of known relationships Marit Ackermann Biotec TU Dresden Family-based analysis of genome-wide gene × gene interactions

  9. Motivation Methods Results Family-based Association Test Method ◮ idea: two markers whose BB Bb bb genotypes are correlated are AA n AABB n AABb n AAbb likely to interact Aa n AaBB n AaBb n Aabb aa n aaBB n aaBb n aabb ◮ measure association via χ 2 -test for contingency table Marit Ackermann Biotec TU Dresden Family-based analysis of genome-wide gene × gene interactions

  10. Motivation Methods Results Family-based Association Test Method ◮ idea: two markers whose BB Bb bb genotypes are correlated are AA n AABB n AABb n AAbb likely to interact Aa n AaBB n AaBb n Aabb aa n aaBB n aaBb n aabb ◮ measure association via χ 2 -test for contingency table ◮ make use of family information to avoid spurious findings: compare observed allele combination with what could have been inherited from parents ◮ additional correction for allelic drift Marit Ackermann Biotec TU Dresden Family-based analysis of genome-wide gene × gene interactions

  11. Motivation Methods Results Family-based Association Test Problem ◮ extremely large number of interactions (example: 10,000 markers: ∼ 10 8 interactions) ◮ leads to underpowered analysis, many false positive findings Marit Ackermann Biotec TU Dresden Family-based analysis of genome-wide gene × gene interactions

  12. Motivation Methods Results Family-based Association Test Problem ◮ extremely large number of interactions (example: 10,000 markers: ∼ 10 8 interactions) ◮ leads to underpowered analysis, many false positive findings ◮ need to complement with additional, external information Marit Ackermann Biotec TU Dresden Family-based analysis of genome-wide gene × gene interactions
