14. Association Studies
• Detect association between genetic variants and phenotype
across families
– Case-Control designs
– Cohort designs
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms: SNPs
• Biallelic polymorphism
• Accounting for ~90% of human genetic variants
• Occurring on coding and non-coding chromosome region

33. Conclusion: 1
1. We have introduced a scoring system to classify
-thalassemia patients into mild, intermedia and severe
cases. Mild patients have hi h Hb F levels.

2. β-Thalassemia/Hb E patients with XmnI -/- are 35
β p
times more likely to have severe disease than patients
with XmnI +/+.
3. Three “novel SNPs” on the -globin gene cluster show
novel SNPs globin
strong association with disease severity and Hb F
levels.
34. Conclusion: 2
4. Genome wide scan for SNPs of the whole genome
revealed 150 SNP on 100 genes that showed strong
l d SNPs h h d
association with disease severity
5. 2nd GWS revealed SNPs in 3 major regions that
showed strong association with disease severity, namely
-globin gene cluster, intergenic region between Myb
cluster
and HBS1L and BCL11A. The function of these
regions in the modifying of disease severity need
further studies.
