Genetic distance as an alternative to physical distance for definition of gene units in association studies.

BMC genomics - 28 May 2014

Rodriguez-Fontenla Cristina, Calaza Manuel, Gonzalez Antonio

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Some association studies, as the implemented in VEGAS, ALIGATOR, i-GSEA4GWAS, GSA-SNP and other software tools, use genes as the unit of analysis. These genes include the coding sequence plus flanking sequences. Polymorphisms in the flanking sequences are of interest because they involve cis-regulatory elements or they inform on untyped genetic variants trough linkage disequilibrium. Gene extensions...
