GWAS mainly aim to identify variations associated with certain phenotypes or diseases. Recently the combined p-value approach is described as the next step after GWAS to map the significant SNPs to genes and pathways to evaluate SNP-gene-disease associations. Major bottleneck of standard GWAS approaches is the prioritization of statistically significant results. The connection between statistical analysis and biological relevance should be established to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of diseases. There are few tools offered for SNP prioritization but these are mainly based on user-defined subjective parameters, which are hard to standardize. Our group has recently developed a novel AHP based SNP prioritization algorithm. Beside statistical association AHP based SNP prioritization algorithm scores SNPs according to their biological relevance in terms of genomic location, functional consequence, evolutionary conservation, and gene-disease association. This allows researchers to evaluate the significantly associated SNPs quickly and objectively. Here, we have investigated the performance of the AHP based prioritization as the next step in the utilization of the algorithm in comparison to the other available tools for SNP prioritization. The user-defined parameters for AHP based prioritization have been investigated and our suggestion on how to use these parameters are presented. Additionally, the GWAS results from the analysis of two different sets of Alzheimer Disease Genotyping data with the newly proposed AHP based prioritization and the integrated software, METU-SNP, it was implemented, is reported and our new findings on the association of SNPs and genes with AD based on this analysis is discussed.

Predicting the Disease of Alzheimer With SNP Biomarkers and Clinical Data Using Data Mining Classification Approach: Decision Tree Erdogan, Onur; Aydın Son, Yeşim (2014-09-03) Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common genomic variations where only a single nucleotide differs between individuals. Individual SNPs and SNP profiles associated with diseases can be utilized as biological markers. But there is a need to determine the SNP subsets and patients' clinical data which is informative for the diagnosis. Data mining approaches have the highest potential for extracting the knowledge from genomic datasets and selecting the representative SNPs as well as most effec...
Investigation of neurodegenerative diseases from body fluid samples using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy Sevinc, Akin; Yonar, Dilek; Severcan, Feride (2015-01-01) An intriguing feature of infrared (IR) spectroscopy is its capacity to accurately identify and characterize disease morphologies. It enables identification of molecular alterations in wide variety of physiological samples, including but not limited to isolated cellular specimens, body fluid samples and tissue biopsies without the need of using any external agents. Therefore, we aimed to summarize the recent findings on the uses of Fourier Transform IR (FTIR) spectroscopy in assessing the molecular alteratio...
INTEGRATION OF MACHINE LEARNING AND ENTROPY METHODS FOR POST-GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION STUDIES ANALYSIS Yaldız, Burcu; Aydın Son, Yeşim; Department of Medical Informatics (2022-8-31) Non-linear relationships between genotypes play an essential role in understanding the genetic interactions of complex disease traits. Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have revealed a statistical association between the SNPs in many complex diseases. As GWAS results could not thoroughly explain the genetic background of these disorders, Genome-Wide Interaction Studies started to gain importance. In recent years, various statistical approaches such as entropy-based methods have been suggested for revea...
Investigation of neutron sensitivity of un-doped and Dy-doped CaB4O7 for thermoluminescence applications Iflazoglu, Sera; Yılmaz, Ayşen; KAFADAR, VURAL EMİR; YAZICI, AHMET NECMEDDİN (2018-09-01) In this study, thermoluminescence characteristics of un-doped and Dy-doped calcium tetraborate (CaB4O7) compounds are reported. The polycrystalline powder samples of un-doped and Dy-doped CaB4O7 were prepared by a solid-state reaction at high-temperature method. The identification and characteristics of the obtained compounds were determined by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared analysis, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The glow curves ...
A test for detecting etiologic heterogeneity in epidemiological studies Karagulle, S.; Kalaylıoğlu Akyıldız, Zeynep Işıl (2016-02-17) Current statistical methods for analyzing epidemiological data with disease subtype information allow us to acquire knowledge not only for risk factor-disease subtype association but also, on a more profound account, heterogeneity in these associations by multiple disease characteristics (so-called etiologic heterogeneity of the disease). Current interest, particularly in cancer epidemiology, lies in obtaining a valid p-value for testing the hypothesis whether a particular cancer is etiologically heterogene...
