Abstract: The recent advance in SNP genotyping has made a significant contribution to reduction of the costs for large-scale genotyping. The development also has dramatically increased the size of the SNP genotype data. The increase in the volume of the data, however, has posed a huge obstacle to the conventional analysis techniques that are typically vulnerable to the high-dimensionality problem. To address the issue, we propose a method that exploits two well-tested models: the document-term model and the transaction analysis model. The proposed method consists of two phases. In the first phase, we reduce the dimensions of the SNP genotype data by extracting significant SNPs through transformation of the data in lieu of the document-term model. In the second phase, we discover the association rules that signify the relations between the SNPs and the traits, through the application of transactional analysis in the reduced-dimension genotype data. We validated the discovered rules through literature survey. Experiments were also carried out using the HGDP panel data provided by the Foundation Jean Dausset-CEPH, which prove the validity of our new method for identifying appropriate dimensional reduction and associations of multiple SNPs and traits. This paper is an extended version of our workshop paper presented in the 2010 International Workshop on Data Mining for High Throughput Data from Genome-Wide Association Studies.
