- Abstract
- Background
The completion of the human genome project means that a high-quality reference sequence of the gene-rich
portion of the human genome is now available. However, the strong influence of ethnic, geographical, and other
characteristics of study populations on the frequencies of different single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) makes it
questionable whether foreign SNP data should be used in domestic studies.
Methods
Twenty-seven possible candidate genes of antiepileptic drug (AED) resistance were resequenced in a DNA
pool from 200 healthy Koreans to identify SNPs and calculate their minor allele frequencies (MAFs).
Results
A total of 98 SNPs were present in 22 of the 27 genes: 28 were in the coding regions, 34 were in introns, 23 were
in 5’ near genes, 10 were in 5’ untranslated regions, and 3 were in 3’ near genes.
Conclusions
The comparative analysis using the pooled DNA adopted in the present study was highly reliable in
estimating MAFs and was compatible with the common disease/common variant hypothesis. The reported data on 98
publicly available SNPs of genes possibly associated with AED resistance that be useful to researchers with limited
availability of domestic SNP data. Key Words: Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Antiepileptic drug
