  1. Genetic architecture of behaviour

  2. Genetic architecture of behaviour • How many QTL? • What is the average effect size of a QTL? • How do the QTL act? • What is the molecular basis of QTL action?

  3. OFA App.- John & Gene

  4. OFA/OFD bar graph (From DeFries, Gervais and Thomas, 1978).

  5. OFA line graph ) (From DeFries, Gervais and Thomas, 1978).

  6. Inbred Strain Cross

  7. Intercross experiment DeFries H1 X DeFries L1 815 animals DeFries H2 X DeFries L2 821 animals TOTAL: 1,636

  8. Loci that influence variation in Open Field Activity

  9. How many QTL?

  10. Power to detect a locus

  11. Undetectable QTL

  12. QTL estimator

  13. What is the effect size of the QTL?

  14. Average Effect Size of QTL detected in studies of rodent behaviour

  15. Average Effect Size

  16. Genetic action • How important are epistatic effects?

  17. Interaction B1 B2 A1 A2 Phenotype 100 100

  18. Interaction B1 B2 A1 A2 Interaction Phenotype 100 + 100 = 300

  19. Epistasis: definition F-All: Y = b0 + b1NA1 + b2NB1 + b3(NA1)(NB1) F-Part: Y = b0 + b1NA1 + b2NB1 NA1 is the "gene dosage" for the A1 allele in each genotype etc F-Int2,Fulldf2 = ((F-AllFss – F-PartFss)/F-AllRss)(F-Alldf1-F-Partdf1)/F-Aldf2))

  20. Circadian Rhythm Interaction QTL

  21. Interaction analysis • All pairs of markers tested for interaction on 23 phenotypes • total of 86,043 analyses

  22. Interaction analysis • All pairs of markers tested for interaction on 23 phenotypes • total of 86,043 analyses • 4,048 results gave a -LogP of > 6.7 (significance level for the likelihood under the full regression model (F-all))

  23. Interaction analysis • All pairs of markers tested for interaction on 23 phenotypes • total of 86,043 analyses • 4,048 results gave a -LogP of > 6.7 (significance level for the likelihood under the full regression model (F-all)) • 0.05 threshold is –LogP 4.9

  24. Interaction terms less than P-value 0.001 (LogP > 3)

  25. Lung Cancer Susceptibility

  26. Genetic architecture • Up to 12 QTL • Effect sizes < 10% • No evidence for interaction

  27. What is the molecular basis of the QTL?

  28. QTL mapping of arthritis susceptibility in rats

  29. Positional cloning of the QTL

  30. Reasons for success • Large effect size: ~25% of phenotypic variance • Recognizable mutation
