Genetic Variants in Colorectal Cancer Pathway Genes

Using a tagSNP approach, the genetic variants were retrieved from a set of common SNPs in the Caucasian population of HapMap project (CEU). The Genome Variation Server (version 7.00) was used to recover tagSNPs capturing variations (1) with a minor allele frequency equal or superior to 15%; (2) within the coding region of the genes plus 2 Kb upstream and downstream and (3) with a r2 superior to 0.8. A total of 140 tagSNPs were captured: 6, 15, 31 and 88 tagSNPs in COX-2, HPGD, SLCO2A1 and ABCC4 genes, respectively. We further selected SNPs with high likelihood of genotyping success using the Sequenom platform, (Sequenom, San Diego, CA). Briefly, tagSNPs were prioritized as follows: first, all non-singletons tagSNPs or singletons with expected functional repercussion (FuncPred software) were tested. TagSNPs with low genotyping scores were replaced with representative variants; and finally the non-significant singletons were included in the array design. A total of 55 SNPs were successfully converted to the Sequenom platform.
Furthermore, we also included polymorphisms that were previously associated with colorectal tumors development and had a minor allele frequency equal or superior to 15% that failed to converted to the Sequenom platform: rs20417, rs689466 and rs5275 in COX-2 and rs2612656 and rs2555639 in HPGD genes.

We genotyped 34 SNPs that included: 18 SNPs for loci that had been
significantly associated (P < 5x10−8) with T2DM or
fasting glucose in two or more genome wide association studies (GWAS) in the
general population, 6 SNPs previously associated with GDM or glycemic traits in
pregnancy, and 10 SNPs previously associated with both T2DM/fasting glucose in
the general population and GDM/glycemic traits in pregnant women (Supplement Table S1). The
selected SNPs were from studies in the general population published up to 2013,
from two large-meta-analysis of GDM,7 (link), 8 (link) and from one GWAS
of glycemic traits in pregnant women.15 (link) If two or more variants were in linkage disequilibrium
(r2>0.5), we selected the variant that was directly
associated with GDM or tag variants. Genotyping was performed by the Vanderbilt
Technologies for Advance Genomics (VANTAGE) at Vanderbilt University Medical
Center according to standard protocols using the Sequenom platform. SNPs that
failed or did not pool well in Sequenom were genotyped using TaqMan assays. For
quality control, we required genotyping call rates above 90%. We
examined significant departures from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) in
controls using a threshold of P < 0.001.

Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood cell pellets using standard laboratory techniques. Isolated DNA was resuspended in Tris-EDTA (pH = 7.5) buffer and stored at −20°C. Genotyping was performed using the Illumina 610K Quad array (Illumina, San Diego, CA) or Sequenom platform (on both platforms, genotyping was performed in 1 run according to good laboratory practice following the manufacturers' protocol) for 78 MS-associated risk SNPs at the Erasmus MC4 (link),5 (link) (table e-1 at Neurology.org/nn). All SNPs were in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (all p values >0.30).

APOL1 Genotyping for DDKT Outcomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the APOL1 G1 nephropathy risk allele (rs73885319; rs60910145) and an insertion/deletion for the G2 risk allele (rs71785313) were genotyped using a custom assay designed at WFSM on the Sequenom platform (San Diego, California).(10 (link)) G1 and G2 genotype calls were visually inspected for quality control. Genotyping of three blind duplicates resulted in a concordance rate of 100% and the genotyping efficiency for the three SNPs was >99% in both cohorts. As analyses assessed the clinical impact of APOL1 G1 and G2, and African ancestry outside of APOL1 did not significantly impact DDKT outcomes in our initial report, ancestry informative markers were not genotyped. This approach was intentional because the clinical application of APOL1 genotyping in DDKT requires rapid turnaround and ease of interpretation.

Vitamin D Status and Genetic Risk Factors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Vitamin D status was assessed using serum 25(OH)D obtained during routine clinical care from the EHR. For patients with ≥ 2 time points of measurement, we examined change in vitamin D between initial and subsequent assessment and defined normalization as initially insufficient levels (< 30ng/mL) subsequent achieving sufficiency (≥30ng/mL). Patients were genotyped for four vitamin D risk alleles previously described to influence serum levels in healthy adults39 (link), 40 (link). These vitamin D risk alleles were described in Caucasian populations. These included a locus each at the cytochrome P450 2R1 (CYP2R1) (rs10741657; chromosome 11, position 14893332), cytochrome P450 24A1 (rs6013897; chromosome 20, position 54125940), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide synthetase 1 (NADSYN1) (rs2060793; chromosome 11, position 14893764) and 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7) (rs12785878; chromosome 11, 71456403). Genotyping was performed on a Sequenom platform (Sequenom Inc, San Diego, CA) at the Broad Institute in a single batch. In addition to analyzing each locus separately, a vitamin D genetic risk score defined as the sum of risk alleles for all four loci was calculated (range 0-8). Weighting was not performed for this score given similar effect sizes for all four loci.

Mitochondrial SNP Genotyping and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mitochondrial SNPs were genotyped using the Sequenom platform (n = 186 mtSNPs) [44 (link)] and the Illumina Exome array [45 (link)] (n = 240 mtSNPs). The 2,723 cases and 3,260 controls were shared between the two genotyping platforms with an average call rate of 99.83%. Forty mtSNPs were common in both genotyping platforms with a concordance rate of 99.3%. Of the 386 unique mtSNPs across the two genotyping platforms, we excluded 72 mtSNPs with MAF<0.1% among the overall sample, resulting in 314 mtSNPs that were distributed across 13 mtDNA genes, comprising four complexes of the OXPHOS pathway, and the tRNA and rRNA subunits (19 mtSNPs per kb).

Informed consent was obtained per protocol approved by the institutional review board at Yale University. Healthy individuals had no personal or family history of autoimmune/inflammatory disease, including psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes mellitus, Crohn's disease and UC, or a history of HIV. Given the limitation in peripheral cell numbers and the range of innate responses we sought to examine, two separate cohorts of 100 and 98 European ancestry individuals were recruited for NOD2/Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 dose–response studies in MDMs and MDDCs, and NOD2/TLR synergy studies in MDDCs, respectively. We further ascertained a separate cohort of 24 patients with Crohn's disease based on TPL2 genotype (see online supplementary table S1). We genotyped polymorphisms by TaqMan (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California, USA) or Sequenom platform (Sequenom, San Diego, California, USA).

SNP Validation in Crossbred Cattle

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As the crossbred population used to validate SNPs and perform association tests included animals from Angus, Hereford and Limousin (pure or crossbred), only some of the SNPs detected in the re-sequencing stage were considered for further validation. In other words, many of the SNPs detected by re-sequencing showed no variation in the Taurine breeds and were not considered, since they would probably show no variation in the crossbred population. For this reason, additional SNPs were selected from dbSNP [14 ] to have a better covering of the length of the genes using markers with proven variation in Taurine breeds. At this stage, the addition of another candidate gene was decided, and SNPs in the RXRA gene were also selected from dbSNP to be validated and tested for associations. Genotyping was performed by the Neogen genotyping service (USA) using the Sequenom platform [15 ].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
