The default value of 1000 kb is therefore set too high to influence ROH detection even for medium density data. Linkage disequilibrium¶ allel.rogers_huff_r (gn) [source] ¶ Estimate the linkage disequilibrium parameter r for each pair of variants using the method of Rogers and Huff (2008). They are actually measures of recombination and express the likelihood that two locations on a DNA strand are inherited together. Second, FROH, cov is the estimated degree of inbreeding based on the length of the covered genome, where Laut is equal to the length of the autosomal genome where ROH detection is possible. Most studies do not report the scanning window threshold setting, although it impacts the outcome of ROH analysis. Cited 29 Mar 2019. This lack of consensus will lead to biased results and hinders the comparison of results across studies. Genet Sel Evol. In order to avoid segments that were homozygous by chance, we defined an ROH as segments that contained a minimum of 100 consecutive SNPs. Hence, this LD pruning results in a SNP reduction of more than 70%. Gibson J, Morton NE, Collins A. 2018 Feb;49(1):71-81. doi: 10.1111/age.12634. Second, the detection probability for an association decreases with lower MAF, making SNPs with low MAF less important for GWAS [38]. 8 (11), e1003100. The authors would like to acknowledge the suggestions and clarifications from Dr. Christopher Chang regarding the PLINK ROH detection algorithm. Long homozygous chromosomal segments in reference families from the centre d’Etude du polymorphisme humain. BB). The results of pruning for varying LD levels prior to ROH analysis for PIT, BB, MER and BUR are shown in Fig. The integration of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) probes into current array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis has enabled the detection of the ROH. Validation using a model based approach confirmed that LD pruning has a population dependent effect on ROH detection (Fig. 1-3. Peripolli E, Munari DP, Silva MVGB, Lima ALF, Irgang R, Baldi F.

Animals (Basel). First, we evaluated the effect of MAF and LD pruning on ROH analysis. We found a genome coverage of only 34.2%, mainly due to MAF pruning and use of the unadapted default density parameter [24]. Heredity (Edinb). Cite this article. Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are the state-of-the-art method for inbreeding analyses in livestock populations [1]. Since strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) within 100 kb is common throughout the human genome, we set the minimum length for an ROH at 500 kb to exclude very … Runs of homozygosity and population history in cattle. Genet Sel Evol. Long runs of homozygosity (ROH) arise when identical haplotypes are inherited from each parent and thus a long tract of genotypes is homozygous. On the one hand, setting the scanning window size below L will not result in the detection of new ROH, as the minimal length of a ROH is set at L. On the other hand, a window size higher than L SNPs prohibits the detection of ROH with a minimal size of L SNPs, as Curik et al. For BAR, an increase in FROH was detected at very low R2 values (> 0.35), probably linked to a high degree of inbreeding and a strong decrease in number of markers in a small genome to reliably estimate HBD. Advmt. This is most relevant for medium density SNP arrays since in PLINK the default density setting is roughly equal to the average density for most livestock and pet species (50 kb/SNP).

These ROH in PIT and BUR would not have been detected if MAF pruning was performed. This may lead to detecting ROH segments smaller than the scanning window size. Vancouver; 2010. The line shows the average percentage of ROH for every chromosome. Mastrangelo S, Ciani E, Sardina MT, Sottile G, Pilla F, Portolano B. However, for both methods (PLINK and RZooRoH) we showed that pruning for low MAF can ignore large homozygous regions in the genome (e.g. 2018;49(6):592-604. Broman KW, Weber JL. The average number of ROH per animal was maximum in draft breed, Kangayam (63.62 ± 22.71) and minimum in dairy breed, Sahiwal (24.62 ± 11.03). An increasing scanning window size led to a decrease in estimated FROH, where especially short ROH were no longer detected. Individual value plot displaying proportion of autosome covered in runs of homozygosity (ROH) per animal. The genotyping error rate was set to 0.25%, as suggested by Ferenčaković et al.

In literature, there is no consensus whether SNP data should be pruned for linkage disequilibrium (LD) and/or minor allele frequency (MAF) before ROH analysis. Runs of homozygosity; Paralogs (eg, SMN1/SMN2) By analyzing and visualizing multiple types at one time, you can easily view compound heterozygosity across variant categories. 10.1186/s13742-015-0047-8 [32, 33]: with ns the number of genotyped SNPs per individual, ni the number of genotyped individuals, α the percentage of false positive ROH (0.05) and het the mean heterozygosity across all SNPs. It is possible that genome coverage in these studies is strongly reduced and consequently, FROH could be underestimated for these studies. Cookies policy. The calculator below uses the Hardy-Weinberg equation: p²+ 2pq+ q² = 1 to estimate the frequency of the carrier state (2pq) for an autosomal recessive trait .

The RZooRoH software identifies homozygous-by-descent (HBD) segments associated with ROHs and is based on a hidden Markov model framework. Copyright © 2020 Dixit, Singh, Ganguly, Bhatia, Sharma, Kumar, Dang and Jayakumar. Dev. Consecutive homozygous fragments of a genome inherited by offspring from a common ancestor are known as runs of homozygosity (ROH). Whereas short ROH are indicators of distant inbreeding, long ROH suggest recent inbreeding [3]. However, Howrigan and colleagues did not vary scanning window sizes, maximal gap sizes, minimal density requirements (in kb/SNP) nor final ROH length in kb, although these parameters can affect the outcome [35]. 2017;12(4). This figure shows the genome coverage, estimated FROH cov and FROH aut for varying gaps from 1 to 1000 kb for Pietrain pigs (PIT), Belgian Blue cattle (BB), Australian Polled Merino sheep (MER) and Burmese cats (BUR). Weale ME. Runs of homozygosity reveal highly penetrant recessive loci in schizophrenia. PLoS One. Anim Genet. 2020. https://doi.org/10.1111/age.12891. The maximal interval between two SNPs in a segment is checked (--homozyg-gap) as well as the maximal amount of heterozygous SNPs allowed in the final ROH segment (--homozyg-het). All investigated populations reached maximal genome coverage using gap sizes around 500 kb. We introduce the genome coverage parameter to appropriately estimate FROH and to check the validity of ROH analyses. 2 and 6).

In draft cattle, genes associated with resistant to diseases/higher immunity (LYZL1, SVIL, and GPX4) and stress tolerant (CCT4) were identified in ROH islands; while in dairy breeds, for milk production (PTGFR, CSN1S1, CSN2, CSN1S2, and CSN3). The effect of LD and MAF pruning on ROH detection, as well as the effects of the density, gap and window size settings were evaluated on different livestock and pet species (pig, sheep, horse, cattle, goat, chicken, cat and dog). PCA analysis on consensus ROH regions revealed distinct clustering of dairy, draft and short stature cattle breeds. FROH; autozygosity; genomic inbreeding; runs of homozygosity islands; selection sweep. For BAR, at unrealistically high LD pruning levels (R2 >  0.35), deviant results were observed possibly due to the high inbreeding level, presence of microsomes and the small chicken genome.

We propose to calculate the scanning window threshold (t) as follows: with Nout the desired number of final outer SNPs on either side of the homozygous segment that should not be included in the final ROH and L the scanning window size. Therefore we recommend to skip MAF and LD pruning prior to all ROH analyses using medium density genotypes. CAS  Genet Sel Evol. Cited 26 Sept 2018. Front. Finally, a proposal to calculate the scanning window threshold is given. ROH analyses are performed using the --homozyg function. Next, we investigated the effect of the previously unstudied PLINK parameters. Calculating the genome coverage parameter proves to be a good method to check whether the density parameter is set appropriately. (2015). The defined window stepwise scans an individual’s genome and scores for each SNP the proportion it appears in a homozygous window. Intervals homozygous for the same haplotype and shared by all affected individuals were used to narrow the locus in each family. Hum Mol Genet. In Table 1 we provide an overview of recent ROH studies on medium density genotypes using PLINK. For the six other populations, little differences were observed in genome coverage and FROH estimates by varying MAF pruning levels. The number of ROH per chromosome and percentage coverage. Manuel Herrero-Medrano J, Megens H-J, Am Groenen M, Ramis G, Bosse M, Pérez-Enciso M, et al. To determine the percentage of ROH per chromosome, the mean ROH length was calculated by adding all ROH (in Mb) on a chromosome and then dividing by the number of animals that had ROH on that chromosome. Runs of homozygosity (ROH) capture inbreeding effects that are due to common or rare causal variants better than a simple measure of excess number of homozygous SNPs across the genome, which tends to only capture the recessive effects of common variants (Keller and others 2011).
