Logistic Bayesian LASSO for detecting association combining family and case-control data
BMC proceedings(2018)
Abstract
Because of the limited information from the GAW20 samples when only case-control or trio data are considered, we propose eLBL, an extension of the Logistic Bayesian LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) methodology so that both types of data can be analyzed jointly in the hope of obtaining an increased statistical power, especially for detecting association between rare haplotypes and complex diseases. The methodology is further extended to account for familial correlation among the case-control individuals and the trios. A 2-step analysis strategy was taken to first perform a genome-wise single single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) search using the Monte Carlo pedigree disequilibrium test (MCPDT) to determine interesting regions for the Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) binary trait. Then eLBL was applied to haplotype blocks covering the flagged SNPs in Step 1. Several significantly associated haplotypes were identified; most are in blocks contained in protein coding genes that appear to be relevant for metabolic syndrome. The results are further substantiated with a Type I error study and by an additional analysis using the triglyceride measurements directly as a quantitative trait.
