Gene Hunting and Mapping

1

Linkage mapping- determining the distance between & order of genes

1

Genetic maps are measured in bp, physical maps in cM

1

Linkage _ reflects gene proximity

1

Genes on different chromosomes link dependently

1

What are the two definitions of haplotype?

1

What does this symbolise?

1

Name two resons why large families are required for linkage studies in humans (for an accurate result)

1

If 15% of meioses in a study show crossover, what is the recombination frequency?

1

Loci with a recombination factor of 50% have the same chance of being separated as loci on different chromosomes

1

Name the two steps required for functional mapping

1

What is the 'Critical Region'

1

A, B, C & D are all markers. B and C are found in homozygous form in people with autosomal recessive deafness. Where is the critical regions for genes causing this deafness?

1

Assuming a person is heterozygous, what do we need to know once markers for the alleles have been identified?

1

What is the difference between phase known and phase unknown?

1

Fewer recombinants mean the hypothesis is more likely

1

Assume 12% of people are recombinants - how many cM are the genes?

1

Name 3 things that can affect the recombination process

1

LOD - Log of the Odds Ratio

1

When using LOD, what are the two hypothesis?

1

Assuming 6 recombinants out of 10 children what is the equation for the statistical likelihood of 6 recombinents?

1

The equation for NO linkage = [(1-θ)^no of children in study]

1

A = Liklihood of linkage
B = Liklihood of no linkage

What is the LOD full equation?

1

-2 is considered significant, 3 is considered no linkage

1

It is thought that 4 of 13 children are recombinants- calculate the LOD and see if this is significant

1

LOD scores are not additive

1

Linkage analysis in complex disorders is much more difficult

1

The first step of mapping complex disease genes is demonstrating how important the genes are on heritability

1

How do you gain estimates of heritability in complex disorders?

1

Why is linkage analysis so much more difficult with complex disorders?

1

Non-parametric linkage analysis typically uses what?

1

What is true of NPL?

1

This image shows two siblings that are...?
