| Abstract | Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) comprehensively compare common genetic variants in affected and control populations to identify variants that are potentially associated with diseases. In recent years, GWAS successfully identified susceptible genes for many diseases. However, limitations of GWAS in uncovering the cellular mechanisms of complex diseases have been increasingly pronounced. In particular, GWAS analyze disease associations at the single variant level (e.g., single nucleotide polymorphism -- SNP), however the functional links between these variants and the disease manifest at the level of genes, their products, and interactions. Since many genes are associated with multiple SNPs (within their coding and regulatory regions, i.e., regions of interest), it is not straightforward to characterize the association of individual genes with diseases based on SNP-level genotype data. Many of the existing studies that study functional implications of GWAS assess disease-gene association by simply taking the most statistically significant SNP in the gene's region of interest. Recently, some alternate approaches have been proposed to integrate the genotypes of all SNPs within the region of interest. In this study, we take an algorithmic approach to the problem and identify the optimal subset of SNPs that provide the maximum disease association score within each region of interest. The proposed algorithms represent the "genotype" of a gene as a combination of a subset of SNPs within its region of interest and search for the subset that maximizes the test statistic comparing this representative genotype in case and control samples. In order to handle the multiple testing problem, we compute the statistical significance of these scores by using permutation tests and using a background population that takes into account the number of variants lying in the region of interest (gene). We apply the proposed algorithms on a GWAS dataset for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). To assess the performance of different algorithms, we use a manually curated set of genes known to be associated with T2D and compare different algorithms using ROC curves. Our experimental results show that the proposed algorithms are able to identify disease genes missed by other methods, with better sensitivity against the false positive rate. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
