Psychiatric genetics: The brains of the family
10 July 2008 | Nature 454, 154-157 (2008)
Does the difficulty in finding the genes responsible for mental illness reflect the complexity of the genetics or the poor definitions of psychiatric disorders?
![Page 5: Genetics for Imagers: How Geneticists Model Quantitative Phenotypes Nelson Freimer UCLA Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a197a1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
“The studies sofar are statisticallyunderpowered.We need biggerstudies.”— Jonathan Flint
![Page 6: Genetics for Imagers: How Geneticists Model Quantitative Phenotypes Nelson Freimer UCLA Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a197a1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
“Geneticists knownothing about
psychiatric disease.”— Daniel Weinberger
![Page 7: Genetics for Imagers: How Geneticists Model Quantitative Phenotypes Nelson Freimer UCLA Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a197a1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
• Psychiatric disorders are highly heritable• No psychiatric susceptibility genes known
• Studies so far are underpowered– Phenotypes are of uncertain validity– Samples are too small and markers too few – Signal to noise ratio is too low
(etiological heterogeneity: genetic and non-genetic)
![Page 8: Genetics for Imagers: How Geneticists Model Quantitative Phenotypes Nelson Freimer UCLA Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a197a1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
“We are just too ignorantof the underlyingneurobiology to makeguesses about candidategenes.” —Steven Hyman
![Page 9: Genetics for Imagers: How Geneticists Model Quantitative Phenotypes Nelson Freimer UCLA Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a197a1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
This is why geneticists have turned to genome wide
mapping

The Principle of Genetic Linkage
If genes are located on different chromosomes theyshow independent assortment.
compute this probability.
However, genes on the same chromosome, especially ifthey are close to each other, tend to be passed ontotheir offspring in the same configuration as on theparental chromosomes.

Genetic markers: SNPs
![Page 15: Genetics for Imagers: How Geneticists Model Quantitative Phenotypes Nelson Freimer UCLA Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a197a1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Detecting Genetic Linkage: Linkage Analysis vs Association
Analysis• Linkage Analysis
– Using pedigree samples, search for regions of the genome where affected individuals share alleles more than you would expect
• Association Analysis– Compare allele frequency distributions in
cases and controls• For quantitative traits can apply similar
principles

When are two genetic loci significantly linked?
![Page 19: Genetics for Imagers: How Geneticists Model Quantitative Phenotypes Nelson Freimer UCLA Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a197a1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Stringent significance thresholds based on…• Low prior probability of linkage between
any two loci– Considered when there were few markers
• Multiple tests involved in genotyping studies– Considered after there were many markers
• Both considerations yielded ~ same threshold:
LOD score (log. base 10 of the likelihood ratio) >~ 3
(i.e. p < 10-4)
![Page 20: Genetics for Imagers: How Geneticists Model Quantitative Phenotypes Nelson Freimer UCLA Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a197a1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Prior probability of linkage between a given locus and a random genome location: 0.02
• To obtain posterior probability of linkage of >0.95 (i.e. <0.05 false positive linkages), apply Bayes theorem:
• Solving for the likelihood ratio Pr(Data | Linkage) / Pr(Data | NoLinkage)…– ratio must be >1,000, i.e. LOD >3
![Page 21: Genetics for Imagers: How Geneticists Model Quantitative Phenotypes Nelson Freimer UCLA Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a197a1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Controlling for multiple testing in linkage
• With complete genome marker sets, prior probability that some marker linked is 1
• ~500 fully informative, independent markers cover linkage in all regions of the genome
• To control at 0.05 level, the global hypothesis of no linkage anywhere in the genome: 0.05/500 = 10-4 for each test, i.e. LOD >3
![Page 22: Genetics for Imagers: How Geneticists Model Quantitative Phenotypes Nelson Freimer UCLA Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a197a1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Suggestive linkage: a lod score or p value expected to occur once by chance in a whole genome scan.
LOD >2.2, p < 7.4 x 10-4
• Significant linkage: a lod score or p value expected to occur by chance 0.05 times in a whole genome scan
LOD >3.6, p < 2.2 x 10-5
• Highly significant linkage: a lod score or p value expected to occur by chance 0.001 times in a whole genome scan.
LOD > 5.4, p < 3 x 10-7
• Confirmed linkage - a significant linkage observed in one study is confirmed by finding a lod score or p value expected to occur 0.01 times by chance in a specific search of the candidate region.

Significance thresholds for association
Consider simple Bayesian argument: - Prior probability that a random gene
associated with trait: ~1/30,000, assuming 30,000 genes/genome
- Likelihood ratio should be > 550,000 for association to be significant (posterior probability >0.95)- With χ2 test, p< 2.6 x 10-7
![Page 38: Genetics for Imagers: How Geneticists Model Quantitative Phenotypes Nelson Freimer UCLA Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a197a1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
A more complete evaluation of significance
Posterior odds = Prior odds x Power(for true association) Significance
• Strength of evidence depends on likely number of true associations and power to detect them
• These depend on effect sizes and sample sizes• Less well-powered studies need more stringent
thresholds to control false-positive rate
See Wacholder et al., J. National Cancer Institute 2004
![Page 39: Genetics for Imagers: How Geneticists Model Quantitative Phenotypes Nelson Freimer UCLA Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a197a1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Genome wide association thresholds
• Controlling for multiple testing E.g. Bonferroni: 0.05 x No. of SNPs x No. of traits
E. g. For single trait with 106 SNPs, p < 5 x10-8
• However, more complicated…– SNPs are not all independent (LD) – LD varies across genome and populations– traits are not all independent
• False discovery rate (FDR) increasingly used
(proportion of false positives among all positives)
…if 1 out of 20 hits are false not so bad

Known genes and environment explain little of trait variance

Sequencing: the currently unexplored middle of the allelic spectrum

Whole genome sequencing is coming soon…
But we don’t have very good models for it yet
![Page 63: Genetics for Imagers: How Geneticists Model Quantitative Phenotypes Nelson Freimer UCLA Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d405503460f94a197a1/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Summary• The allelic spectrum of complex traits
determines the appropriate genetic mapping approach
• Genetic linkage and association studies require stringent statistical thresholds
• Single candidate gene studies have very low probability of being true positives
• Genome-wide linkage and association studies are beginning to bear fruit for neurobehavioral traits
• Whole-genome sequencing is just around the corner
