Association of genetic variants with renal function in Africans and in Caucasians-4

End across genotypes using the ASSOC program in S.A.G.E. in models without additional covariates. GFR: glomerular filtration rate measured using inulin clearance.

Association of genetic variants with renal function in Africans and in Caucasians-2

Nel shows the pattern of linkage disequilibrium in the HapMap CEU panel. We imputed genotypes for all HapMap SNPs in the region around . In this region, linkage disequilibrium patterns in CoLaus were similar to the ones observed in HapMap, although they were resolved at a coarser scale due to lower SNP density. Since it was not computationally feasible to combine imputation and permutation approaches, we plot P values calculated assuming the normal linear model. For directly genotyped SNPs, the differences between calculated and permutation P values were small. The top three hits (and P values) are rs17327624 (0.0006), rs4148733 (0.0008) and rs17327442 (0.0008). The former two were directly genotyped and are in strong LD (D' = 0.96 in CoLaus and 1.00 in HapMap CEU, r= 0.63 and 0.72 respectively), and the imputed SNP rs17327442 is in perfect LD with rs17327624 in HapMap CEU.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Association of genetic variants with renal function in Africans and in Caucasians"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1755-8794/1/21</p><p>BMC Medical Genomics 2008;1():21-21.</p><p>Published online 2 Jun 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2424071.</p><p></p
