Selecting SNPs in two‐stage analysis of disease association data: a model‐free approach

Selecting SNPs in two‐stage analysis of disease association data: a model‐free approach For large numbers of marker loci in a genomic scan for disease loci, we propose a novel 2‐stage approach for linkage or association analysis. The two stages are (1) selection of a subset of markers that are ‘important’ for the trait studied, and (2) modelling interactions among markers and between markers and trait. Here we focus on stage 1 and develop a selection method based on a 2‐level nested bootstrap procedure. The method is applied to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) data in a cohort study of heart disease patients. Out of the 89 original SNPs the method selects 11 markers as being ‘important’. Conventional backward stepwise logistic regression on the 89 SNPs selects 7 markers, which are a subset of the 11 markers chosen by our method. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Annals of Human Genetics Wiley

Abstract

For large numbers of marker loci in a genomic scan for disease loci, we propose a novel 2‐stage approach for linkage or association analysis. The two stages are (1) selection of a subset of markers that are ‘important’ for the trait studied, and (2) modelling interactions among markers and between markers and trait. Here we focus on stage 1 and develop a selection method based on a 2‐level nested bootstrap procedure. The method is applied to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) data in a cohort study of heart disease patients. Out of the 89 original SNPs the method selects 11 markers as being ‘important’. Conventional backward stepwise logistic regression on the 89 SNPs selects 7 markers, which are a subset of the 11 markers chosen by our method.
