Abstract

Laboratories dealing with human genome, both inherited and acquired changes, dispose with similar methods and technology. The spectrum of genetic tests is relatively broad and the number of mutations or variants tested differs substantially. Also the number of examinations carried out in individual laboratories varies. Data presented in the tables come from the year 2004 and indicate the number of examinations requested and number of positive results. Many laboratories mentioned in the registry CZDDNAL (http://www.uhkt.cz/lab_a_vysetreni/nr lab_dna_diag/dna_lab_db) perform the same tests but there is also a great number of tests carried out by only one laboratory. Reasons of the request, cost-effectiveness and clinical utility of genetic testing is being discussed.

A test of homogeneity of Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium across strata.

For genotype data being sampled from several strata with different allele frequencies, it is necessary to verify the assumption of homogeneity of Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium across strata before testing Hardy-Weinberg law across strata. In practice, disequilibrium can be measured via fixation coefficients (ie, ratios of genotypic frequencies) or disequilibrium coefficients (ie, differences of genotypic frequencies). Test for homogeneity of Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium using data from several populations has been derived according to fixation coefficients. In this article, using the likelihood score theory extended to nuisance parameters, we derive a homogeneity score test for comparing disequilibrium coefficients across several independent strata. Simulation results demonstrate that the homogeneity score test performs satisfactorily in the sense that its empirical size seldom exceeds the pre-chosen nominal level by more than 10% even for small sample sizes. Corresponding power and sample size formulae are provided as well. We illustrate our test with a real glyoxalase genotype data set.

FASTSNP: an always up-to-date and extendable service for SNP function analysis and prioritization.

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) prioritization based on the phenotypic risk is essential for association studies. Assessment of the risk requires access to a variety of heterogeneous biological databases and analytical tools. FASTSNP (function analysis and selection tool for single nucleotide polymorphisms) is a web server that allows users to efficiently identify and prioritize high-risk SNPs according to their phenotypic risks and putative functional effects. A unique feature of FASTSNP is that the functional effect information used for SNP prioritization is always up-to-date, because FASTSNP extracts the information from 11 external web servers at query time using a team of web wrapper agents. Moreover, FASTSNP is extendable by simply deploying more Web wrapper agents. To validate the results of our prioritization, we analyzed 1569 SNPs from the SNP500Cancer database. The results show that SNPs with a high predicted risk exhibit low allele frequencies for the minor alleles, consistent with a well-known finding that a strong selective pressure exists for functional polymorphisms. We have been using FASTSNP for 2 years and FASTSNP enables us to discover a novel promoter polymorphism. FASTSNP is available at http://fastsnp.ibms.sinica.edu.tw.
