Advantages of the mouse
• Small and cheap
• Inbred lines
• Large, controlled crosses
• Experimental interventions
• Knock-outs and knock-ins

The mouse as a model
• Same genes?– The genes involved in a phenotype in the mouse may also
be involved in similar phenotypes in the human.
• Similar complexity?– The complexity of the etiology underlying a mouse
phenotype provides some indication of the complexity ofsimilar human phenotypes.
• Transfer of statistical methods.– The statistical methods developed for gene mapping in the
mouse serve as a basis for similar methods applicable indirect human studies.

The data
• Phenotypes, yi
• Genotypes, xij = AA/AB/BB, at genetic markers
• A genetic map, giving the locations of the markers.

Goals
• Identify genomic regions (QTLs) that contribute tovariation in the trait.
• Obtain interval estimates of the QTL locations.
• Estimate the effects of the QTLs.
![Page 15: Gene mapping in mice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070810/613d2a99736caf36b75a19d1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Models: recombination
• No crossover interference– Locations of breakpoints according to a Poisson process.
– Genotypes along chromosome follow a Markov chain.
• Clearly wrong, but super convenient.

Models: gen ´ phe
Phenotype = y, whole-genome genotype = g
Imagine that p sites are all that matter.
E(y | g) = m(g1,…,gp) SD(y | g) = s(g1,…,gp)
Simplifying assumptions:
• SD(y | g) = s, independent of g
• y | g ~ normal( m(g1,…,gp), s )
• m(g1,…,gp) = m + ∑ aj 1{gj = AB} + bj 1{gj = BB}

Interval mapping
Lander and Botstein 1989
• Imagine that there is a single QTL, at position z.
• Let qi = genotype of mouse i at the QTL, and assumeyi | qi ~ normal( m(qi), s )
• We won’t know qi, but we can calculate
pig = Pr(qi = g | marker data)
• yi, given the marker data, follows a mixture of normaldistributions with known mixing proportions (the pig).
• Use an EM algorithm to get MLEs of q = (mAA, mAB, mBB, s).
• Measure the evidence for a QTL via the LOD score, which is thelog10 likelihood ratio comparing the hypothesis of a single QTLat position z to the hypothesis of no QTL anywhere.

LOD curves

19
LOD thresholds
• To account for the genome-wide search, compare theobserved LOD scores to the distribution of themaximum LOD score, genome-wide, that would beobtained if there were no QTL anywhere.
• The 95th percentile of this distribution is used as asignificance threshold.
• Such a threshold may be estimated via permutations(Churchill and Doerge 1994).

Epistasis
![Page 23: Gene mapping in mice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070810/613d2a99736caf36b75a19d1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Going after multiple QTLs
• Greater ability to detect QTLs.
• Separate linked QTLs.
• Learn about interactions between QTLs (epistasis).
![Page 24: Gene mapping in mice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070810/613d2a99736caf36b75a19d1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Model selection
• Choose a class of models.– Additive; pairwise interactions; regression trees
• Fit a model (allow for missing genotype data).– Linear regression; ML via EM; Bayes via MCMC
• Search model space.– Forward/backward/stepwise selection; MCMC;
• Compare models.
– BICd(g) = log L(g) + (d/2) |g| log n
Miss important loci ´ include extraneous loci.

Special features
• Relationship among the covariates.
• Missing covariate information.
• Identify the key players vs. minimize prediction error.

Opportunitiesfor improvements
• Each individual is unique.
– Must genotype each mouse.
– Unable to obtain multiple invasive phenotypes (e.g., inmultiple environmental conditions) on the same genotype.
• Relatively low mapping precision.
Æ Design a set of inbred mouse strains.
– Genotype once.
– Study multiple phenotypes on the same genotype.
