Dvl3 polymorphism interacts with life events and pro-inflammatory cytokines to influence major depressive disorder susceptibility.

Scientific reports | 2018

The purpose of this study is to explore Dvl3 variants and their interaction with negative life events on MDD susceptibility in a Chinese Han population. Additionally, we also attempted to identify whether there is an association between Dvl3 variants and pro-inflammatory cytokines. A total of 1102 participants, consisting of 550 patients with MDD and 552 healthy subjects, were recruited for genotyping by TaqMan allelic discrimination assay. Pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNA levels in peripheral blood were measured by QPCR. After the assessment of negative life events by the Life Events Scale, the Dvl3 gene-environment interaction (G × E) and risk factors were evaluated using generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction method (GMDR) and logistic regression analysis, respectively. This study is the first to reveal the interaction between Dvl3 allelic variations and negative life events as well as pro-inflammatory cytokines on MDD susceptibility in a Chinese Han population.

Haploview (tool)

RRID:SCR_003076

A Java based software tool designed to simplify and expedite the process of haplotype analysis by providing a common interface to several tasks relating to such analyses. Haploview currently allows users to examine block structures, generate haplotypes in these blocks, run association tests, and save the data in a number of formats. All functionalities are highly customizable. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software) * LD & haplotype block analysis * haplotype population frequency estimation * single SNP and haplotype association tests * permutation testing for association significance * implementation of Paul de Bakker's Tagger tag SNP selection algorithm. * automatic download of phased genotype data from HapMap * visualization and plotting of PLINK whole genome association results including advanced filtering options Haploview is fully compatible with data dumps from the HapMap project and the Perlegen Genotype Browser. It can analyze thousands of SNPs (tens of thousands in command line mode) in thousands of individuals. Note: Haploview is currently on a development and support freeze. The team is currently looking at a variety of options in order to provide support for the software. Haploview is an open source project hosted by SourceForge. The source can be downloaded at the SourceForge project site.
