This paper presents CalPen, a web-based tool for calculating penetrance (disease likelihood given a mutation) in complex genetic disorders. The authors validated CalPen against published penetrance calculations for schizophrenia-associated copy number variants (CNVs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). They analyzed 15 CNVs in 39,059 schizophrenia patients and 55,084 controls (average penetrance 7%, ranging from ~1.4% for 15q11.2 deletions to ~20% for 22q11.21 CNVs) and 145 SNPs in 45,405 patients and 122,761 controls (average penetrance 0.7%, with rs1801028 showing the highest at 1.6%).
About CHRNA5
The protein encoded by this gene is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit and a member of a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that mediate fast signal transmission at synapses. These receptors are thought to be heteropentamers composed of separate but similar subunits. Defects in this gene have been linked to susceptibility to lung cancer type 2 (LNCR2).[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
