BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of
genetic variants associated with complex human diseases, clinical conditions and
traits. Genetic mapping of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) is
providing us with novel functional effects of thousands of single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs). In a classical quantitative trail loci (QTL) mapping
problem multiple tests are done to assess whether one trait is associated with a
number of loci. In contrast to QTL studies, thousands of traits are measured
alongwith thousands of gene expressions in an eQTL study. For such a study, a
huge number of tests have to be performed (~10(6)). This extreme multiplicity
gives rise to many computational and statistical problems. In this paper we have
tried to address these issues using two closely related inferential approaches:
an empirical Bayes method that bears the Bayesian flavor without having much a
priori knowledge and the frequentist method of false discovery rates. A
three-component t-mixture model has been used for the parametric empirical Bayes
(PEB) method. Inferences have been obtained using Expectation/Conditional
Maximization Either (ECME) algorithm. A simulation study has also been performed
and has been compared with a nonparametric empirical Bayes (NPEB) alternative.
RESULTS: The results show that PEB has an edge over NPEB. The proposed
methodology has been applied to human liver cohort (LHC) data. Our method enables
to discover more significant SNPs with FDR<10% compared to the previous study
done by Yang et al. (Genome Research, 2010). CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to
previously available methods based on p-values, the empirical Bayes method uses
local false discovery rate (lfdr) as the threshold. This method controls false
positive rate.
