Phenome-Wide Association Study Of Y Chromosome Genetic Markers, Matthew Durrant, Mary Davis
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The purpose of this project was to analyze genetic variants on the Y chromosome for significant association with various diseases. In Dr. Mary Davis’ lab we gained access to a unique data set that allows us to analyze many single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the Y chromosome. This was a hypothesis-generating study that has the potential to revolutionize the currently accepted hypothesis that genetic variants on the Y chromosome do not play a significant role in common disease.
