1 Lecture 6: Introduction to Quantitative genetics Bruce Walsh lecture notes Liege May 2011 course version 25 May 2011
2 Quantitative Genetics The analysis of traits whose variation is determined by both a number of genes and environmental factors Phenotype is highly uninformative as to underlying genotype
3 Complex (or Quantitative) trait No (apparent) simple Mendelian basis for variation in the trait May be a single gene strongly influenced by environmental factors May be the result of a number of genes of equal (or differing) effect Most likely, a combination of both multiple genes and environmental factors Example: Blood pressure, cholesterol levels Known genetic and environmental risk factors Molecular traits can also be quantitative traits mrna level on a microarray analysis Protein spot volume on a 2-D gel
4 Phenotypic distribution of a trait
5 Consider a specific locus influencing the trait For this locus, mean phenotype = 0.15, while overall mean phenotype = 0
6 Goals of Quantitative Genetics Partition total trait variation into genetic (nature) vs. environmental (nurture) components Predict resemblance between relatives If a sib has a disease/trait, what are your odds? Find the underlying loci contributing to genetic variation QTL -- quantitative trait loci Deduce molecular basis for genetic trait variation eqtls -- expression QTLs, loci with a quantitative influence on gene expression e.g., QTLs influencing mrna abundance on a microarray
7 Dichotomous (binary) traits Presence/absence traits (such as a disease) can (and usually do) have a complex genetic basis Consider a disease susceptibility (DS) locus underlying a disease, with alleles D and d, where allele D significantly increases your disease risk In particular, Pr(disease DD) = 0.5, so that the penetrance of genotype DD is 50% Suppose Pr(disease Dd ) = 0.2, Pr(disease dd) = 0.05 dd individuals can rarely display the disease, largely because of exposure to adverse environmental conditions
8 dd individuals can give rise to phenocopies 5% of the time, showing the disease but not as a result of carrying the risk allele If freq(d) = 0.9, what is Prob (DD show disease)? freq(disease) = * *0.1*0.9* *0.05 = From Bayes theorem, Pr(DD disease) = Pr(disease DD)*Pr(DD)/Prob(disease) = *0.5 / = 0.06 (6 %) Pr(Dd disease) = 0.442, Pr(dd disease) = Thus about 50% of the diseased individuals are phenocopies
9 Basic model of Quantitative Genetics Phenotypic value -- we will occasionally also use z for this value Basic model: P = G + E Environmental value Genotypic value G = average phenotypic value for that genotype if we are able to replicate it over the universe of environmental values, G = E[P]
10 Basic model of Quantitative Genetics Basic model: P = G + E G = average phenotypic value for that genotype if we are able to replicate it over the universe of environmental values, G = E[P] G x E interaction --- G values are different across environments. Basic model now becomes P = G + E + GE
11 Contribution of a locus to a trait Q 1 Q 1 Q 2 Q 1 Q 2 Q 2 C C + a(1+k) C + 2a C C + a + d C + 2a C -a C + d C + a 2a = G(Q 2 Q 2 ) - G(Q 1 Q 1 ) d measures dominance, with d = 0 if the heterozygote is exactly intermediate to the two homozygotes d = ak =G(Q 1 Q 2 ) - [G(Q 2 Q 2 ) + G(Q 1 Q 1 ) ]/2 k = d/a is a scaled measure of the dominance
12 Example: Apolipoprotein E & Alzheimer s Genotype ee Ee EE Average age of onset a = G(EE) - G(ee) = > a = 7.95 ak =d = G(Ee) - [ G(EE)+G(ee)]/2 = k = d/a = 0.10 Only small amount of dominance
13 Example: Booroola (B) gene Genotype bb Bb BB Average Litter size a = G(BB) - G(bb) = > a = 0.59 ak =d = G(Bb) - [ G(BB)+G(bb)]/2 = 0.10 k = d/a = 0.17
14 Fisher s (1918) Decomposition of G One of Fisher s key insights was that the genotypic value consists of a fraction that can be passed from parent to offspring and a fraction that cannot. In particular, under sexual reproduction, parents only pass along SINGLE ALLELES to their offspring Consider the genotypic value G ij resulting from an A i A j individual G ij = µ G + α i + α j + δ ij Average contribution to genotypic value for allele i Mean value, with µg = Gij freq(qiqj )
15 G ij = µ G + α i + α j + δ ij Since parents pass along single alleles to their offspring, the! i (the average effect of allele i) represent these contributions The average effect for an allele is POPULATION- SPECIFIC, as it depends on the types and frequencies of alleles that it pairs with The genotypic value predicted from the individual allelic effects is thus Ĝ ij = µ G + α i + α j
16 G ij = µ G + α i + α j + δ ij The genotypic value predicted from the individual allelic effects is thus Ĝ ij = µ G + α i + α j Dominance deviations --- the difference (for genotype A i A j ) between the genotypic value predicted from the two single alleles and the actual genotypic value, G ij G ij = δ ij
17 Fisher s decomposition is a Regression G ij = µ G + α i + α j + δ ij Predicted value Residual error A notational change clearly shows this is a regression, Gij = µg + 2α 1 + (α 2 α 1 )N + δij Independent (predictor) variable N = # of Q 2 alleles
18 Gij = µg + 2α 1 + (α 2 α 1 )N + δij Intercept Regression slope 2α 1 + (α 2 α 1 )N = 2α 1 forn = 0, e.g, Q 1 Q 1 α 1 + α 2 forn = 1, e.g, Q 1 Q 2 2α 2 forn = 2, e.g, Q 2 Q 2
19 Allele Q 2 common,! 1 >! 2 G 21 G G 22 G N
20 Allele Q 1 common,! 2 >! 1 G 21 Slope =!2 -!1 G G 22 G N
21 Both Q 1 and Q 2 frequent,! 1 =! 2 = 0 G 21 G G 22 G N
22 Consider a diallelic locus, where p 1 = freq(q 1 ) Genotype Q 1 Q 1 Q 2 Q 1 Q 2 Q 2 Genotypic value 0 a(1+k) 2a Mean µ G = 2p 2 a(1 + p 1 k) Allelic effects α 2 = p 1 a [ 1 + k ( p 1 p 2 ) ] α 1 = p 2 a [1 + k ( p 1 p 2 ) ] Dominance deviations δij = Gij µg αi αj
23 Average effects and Additive Genetic Values The! values are the average effects of an allele A key concept is the Additive Genetic Value (A) of an individual A (G ij ) = α i + α j A = n k=1 ( ) α ( k) i + α ( k) k A is called the Breeding value or the Additive genetic value
24 A = n k=1 ( ) α ( k) i + α ( k) k Why all the fuss over A? Suppose father has A = 10 and mother has A = -2 for (say) blood pressure Expected blood pressure in their offspring is (10-2)/2 = 4 units above the population mean. Offspring A = average of parental A s KEY: parents only pass single alleles to their offspring. Hence, they only pass along the A part of their genotypic value G
25 Genetic Variances G ij = µ g + (α i + α j ) + δ ij σ 2 (G) = n k=1 σ 2 (α ( k) i + α ( k) j ) + n k=1 σ 2 (δ ( k) ij ) σ 2 (G) = σ 2 (µ g + (α i + α j ) + δ ij ) = σ 2 (α i + α j ) + σ 2 (δ ij ) As Cov(!,") = 0
26 Genetic Variances σ 2 (G) = n k=1 σ 2 (α ( k) i + α ( k) j ) + n k=1 σ 2 (δ ( k) ij ) Additive Genetic Variance (or simply Additive Variance) Dominance Genetic Variance (or simply dominance variance) σ 2 G = σ 2 A + σ 2 D
27 Key concepts (so far)! i = average effect of allele i Property of a single allele in a particular population (depends on genetic background) A = Additive Genetic Value (A) A = sum (over all loci) of average effects Fraction of G that parents pass along to their offspring Property of an Individual in a particular population Var(A) = additive genetic variance Variance in additive genetic values Property of a population Can estimate A or Var(A) without knowing any of the underlying genetical detail (forthcoming)
28 σ 2 A = 2E[α 2 ] = 2 m i=1 α 2 i pi Q 1 Q 1 Q 1 Q 2 Q 2 Q 2 0 a(1+k) 2a Since E[!] = 0, Var(!) = E[(! -µ a ) 2 ] = E[! 2 ] One locus, 2 alleles: σ 2 A = 2p 1 p 2 a 2 [ 1 + k ( p 1 p 2 ) ] 2 Dominance alters additive variance When dominance present, Additive variance is an asymmetric function of allele frequencies
29 Dominance variance Q 1 Q 1 Q 1 Q 2 Q 2 Q 2 0 a(1+k) 2a σ 2 D = E[δ 2 ] = m i=1 m δ 2 ij p i p j j=1 Equals zero if k = 0 One locus, 2 alleles: σ 2 D = (2p 1 p 2 ak) 2 This is a symmetric function of allele frequencies Can also be expressed in terms of d = ak
30 Additive variance, V A, with no dominance (k = 0) V A Allele frequency, p
31 Complete dominance (k = 1) V A V D Allele frequency, p
32 Epistasis G ijkl = µ G + (α i + α j + α k + α l ) + (δ ij + δ kj ) + (αα ik + αα il + αα jk + αα jl ) + (αδ ikl + αδ jkl + αδ kij + αδ lij ) + (δδ ijkl ) = µ G + A + D + AA + AD + DD These components are defined to be uncorrelated, (or orthogonal), so that σ 2 G = σ 2 A + σ 2 D + σ 2 AA + σ 2 AD + σ 2 DD
33 G ijkl = µ G + (α i + α j + α k + α l ) + (δ ij + δ kj ) + (αα ik + αα il + αα jk + αα jl ) + (αδ ikl + αδ jkl + αδ kij + αδ lij ) + (δδ ijkl ) = µ G + A + D + AA + AD + DD Additive x Additive interactions --!!, AA interactions between a single allele at one locus with a single allele at another Additive x Dominance interactions --!", AD interactions between an allele at one locus with the genotype at another, e.g. allele A i and genotype B kj Dominance x dominance interaction --- "", DD the interaction between the dominance deviation at one locus with the dominance deviation at another.
