2 WHICH GENES ? Gene variants ?

3 False positive problem

4 Candidate gene studies: reproducibility problem 600 positive associations between common gene variants and disease reported 1986-2000 J N Hirschhorn et al. Genetics in Medicine 2002 166 were studied 3+ times 6 have been consistently replicated

5 Introduction to genomewide association studies

6 Genomewide association studies (GWA) Revolution in gene search Hypothesis-free driven approach Scan 100,000-500,000 gene variants (SNPs) Case – control design (>1000 individuals) Massive number of tests of hypothesis

7 Recent GWA studies in osteoporosis Styrkarsdottir U, et al (2008) Multiple genetic loci for bone mineral density and fractures.

9 What is the credibility of a GWA finding ?

10 An observed association with p<0.05 does not necessarily mean that the association exists. In 100,000 tests, 5000 positive findings could be false positive

11 Diagnostic test and association test Diseased YES +ve-ve NO +ve-ve Association True +ve-ve False Sensitivity P(+ve | D) False +vePowerP-value P(+ve | False) +ve -ve

12 What do want we to know? Probability of association given observed data (eg posterior probability of association) or Probability of observing data if there is no association (P-value)

13 Posterior probability of association Prior probability of association (  ) Power = Pr(significance | association) Sample size P-value = Pr(significance | no association) Effect size is a function of

14 What is the prior probability of association for a gene variant ?

15 Gene search = finding small needles in a VERY large haystack Human genome ~3 billion base pairs long BUT: Most are vanishingly rare 99.9% identical between any two individuals ~90% differences between any two individuals is due to common variants

16 Hypotheses Common disease / common variants (CD/CV) ( Reich & Lander 2001, Pritchard et al 2005 ) ~90% differences between any two individuals is due to common variants

17 Prior probability of association (  ) Common variants in the human population: 10 million ( Kruglyak and Nickerson Net Gent 2001 ) No. of genetic variants associated with a common disease ~100 or less ( Yang et al, Int J Epidemiol 2005) Prior probability of association  = 0.000001

18 A Bayesian interpretation of association 10,000,000 common variants True association (100) No association (9,999,900) Significant (95) Non-significant (5) Significant (100) Non-significant (9,999,800) P(True association given a significant result) = 95 / (95+195) = 48% Power = 95%; P-value=0.00001

19 A Bayesian interpretation of association 10,000,000 common variants True association (100) No association (9,999,900) Significant (95) Non-significant (5) Significant (1) Non-significant (9,999,800) P(True association given a significant result) = 95 / (95+1) = 99% Power = 95%; P-value=0.00000001

20 P-value and “true” association P-value in the range of 5% - 0.1% will virtually be false positives even in large scale studies

21 P-value for a reliable association P < 5 x 10 -5 or P < 5 x 10 -8 For 1000 cases and 1000 controls, p< 10 -8 are more likely to be true than false
