Why this paper
• Causal genetic variants at loci contributing to
complex phenotypes unknown
• Rat/mice model organisms in physiology and
diseases
• Relevant to our work
– Integration of GWAS of different traits
– Interpretation of human GWAS
Advantages of genetic mapping using
heterogeneous stocks
• Accuracy of QTL mapping to Mb resolution
• WGS imputation from progenitor genomes
• Haplotypes well defined
– Single SNP vs haplotype (spatial) association
– Difficult in humans, large #of rare/unknown

Nucleotide diversity in NIH-HS
progenitors
• Similar diversity between strains
Nucleotide diversity in NIH-HS
progenitors
• Similar diversity between strains
• 29% SNP private to particular strain
– Unique haplotypes relatively common
• Regions of low diversity are small (~400 kb)

Merge analyses
• 343 QTLs
– 131 (38%) at least 1 candidate variant
• Increased resolution
– 90% of variants ruled out, d <0
– Candidates in coding regions affecting protein
structure more likely to be causal
– Eliminates candidate genes that are distant from
candidate variant
Merge analyses (examples)
• 3 QTL for patelet aggregation
Merge analyses (examples)
• Candidate variant in single gene
Merge analyses (examples)
• Candidate variant in coding region
Merge analysis
• Single variants rarely account for QTL effects
– 212 (68%) QTL had no candidate variant
• Possible reasons
– Causative variants missed in sequencing
– QTL mapping biased towards QTL without
candidate variants
– Merge underestimates statistical significance
– Multiple causal variants
Merge analysis
– Causative variants missed in sequencing
• Simulation of all possible SDPs for di-tri-allelic SNPs and
merge analysis
• 168 (49%) would still have no causative variant
– Simulation different QTL architectures
• Single variants
• Multiple variants within gene, multiple variants linked
loci
• Haplotype effects/ no individual variants
Merge analysis
– Simulation of causal variants
Merge analysis
• Haplotype mapping overestimates QTL without
causative variant (?)
• Merge analysis underestimates number of QTL
without causative variant (?)
– Multiple causative variants
Concordance between species
• 38 measures common between NIG-HS and mice HS
• Orthologous rarely contribute to the same
phenotype
Concordance between species
• 38 measures common between NIG-HS and mice HS
• Orthologous rarely contribute to the same
phenotype
• KEGG pathways for QTL associated genes in rat in
mice only significantly enriched for “proportion of B
cells”)
Discussion
• Combining sequence with mapping data can identify candidate
loci
• 50% of QTL can not be attributed to single causal variant
– Multiple causal variants, more complex models required
– Rat QTL similar to Trans eQTL
• Not possible to accurately asses overlap between species
– limited power of pathway analysis
– limited power from comparing phenotypes (within species?)
– Variants in orthologous genes rarely contribute to same phenotype
