大家好，我是邓飞，PRS模型最近学了了不少内容。

这篇博客，用之前GWAS教程中的示例数据（快来领取 | 飞哥的GWAS分析教程），把数据分为Base数据和Target数据，通过plink运行二分类的logistic模型进行GWAS分析，然后通过PRSice-2软件，进行PRS分析。最终，选出最优SNP组合，并计算Target的PRS得分，主要结果如下：

最适合的SNP个数是133个，R2位0.232258，P值为0.014

$ head PRSice.summary
Phenotype Set Threshold PRS.R2 Full.R2 Null.R2 Prevalence Coefficient Standard.Error P Num_SNP
- Base 0.00115005 0.232258 0.232258 0 - 17.1644 6.99987 0.0142024 133

对应的43个个体的PRS结果：

1451 NA12776 Yes -0.0865534231
13291 NA07435 Yes -0.104468725

上面数据中，个体的PRS为正值，说明风险高，为负值，说明风险低。

数据使用GWAS分析教程中的数据。

HapMap_3_r3_1.bed  HapMap_3_r3_1.bim  HapMap_3_r3_1.fam

1. 将数据转为plink文本文件

 plink --bfile HapMap_3_r3_1 --recode --out a1

这里，共有165个样本，每个样本1457897个位点。

2. 对基因型数据进行质控

质控标准：

geno 0.1 # SNP 缺失率大于10%
maf 0.05 # maf大于0.05
mind 0.1 # 样本缺失率大于10%
hwe 1e-5 # 哈温平衡P值大于1e-5

质控命令：

plink --file a1 --mind 0.1 --geno 0.1 --hwe 1e-5 --maf 0.05 --recode --out b1

日志文件：

质控后的位点结果：样本数：165 位点数：1113612

其中表型数据中，56个为case，56个为control，53个表型数据缺失。

提取出表型数据：

 awk '{print $1,$2,$6}' b1.ped >phe.txt

将数据去除缺失值，分为base和target两个数据集。


library(data.table)
library(tidyverse)

d1 = fread("phe.txt",na.strings = "-9")
head(d1)

dd = d1 %>% drop_na(V3)

set.seed(123)

re1 = dd %>% sample_n(42) %>% select(V1,V2)
head(re1)
head(dd)

re2 = dd %>% filter(!V2 %in% re1$V2) %>% select(V1,V2)
head(re2)

fwrite(re1,"name_target.txt",col.names = F,sep = " ",quote = F)
fwrite(re2,"name_base.txt",col.names = F,sep = " ",quote = F)

3. 提取base和target数据集

注意，正常来说，base和target应该避免有亲缘关系，应该是独立样本。这里没有检测独立性，分为两类，只为演示。

plink --file b1 --keep name_base.txt --recode --out base_dat

plink --file b1 --keep name_target.txt --recode --out target_dat

日志文件：

4. 对base数据进行GWAS分析

这里，将性别作为协变量，将PCA的3个值作为协变量，进行GWAS分析，把表型数据单独提取出来。

「提取性别数据：」

awk '{print $1,$2,$5}' base_dat.ped >cov1.txt

结果：

$ head cov1.txt
1328 NA06989 2
1377 NA11891 1
1349 NA11843 1
1330 NA12341 2
1418 NA12275 2
13292 NA07051 1
1354 NA12400 2
1451 NA12777 1
1353 NA12383 2
1418 NA12273 2

「提取表型数据：」

awk '{print $1,$2,$6}' base_dat.ped >phe1.txt

结果文件：

$ head phe1.txt
1328 NA06989 2
1377 NA11891 2
1349 NA11843 1
1330 NA12341 2
1418 NA12275 1
13292 NA07051 2
1354 NA12400 2
1451 NA12777 2
1353 NA12383 2
1418 NA12273 1

「计算PCA结果」

plink --file base_dat --pca 3

结果文件：

$ head plink.eigenvec
1328 NA06989 -0.00375153 -0.143377 -0.335978
1377 NA11891 0.00185169 -0.0483789 -0.168089

1418 NA12275 -0.0184984 -0.156233 0.121645
13292 NA07051 -0.0219551 -0.0393832 -0.0171629
1354 NA12400 -0.0358468 -0.103815 -0.0732348
1451 NA12777 -0.0237697 -0.0013729 0.125297

1418 NA12273 -0.0388465 -0.00396318 -0.204234

「将性别和PCA合并为协变量：」

awk '{print $3,$4,$5}' plink.eigenvec >pca.txt
paste cov1.txt pca.txt |sed 's/\s\+/ /g' >covar.txt

结果文件：

$ head covar.txt
1328 NA06989 2 -0.00375153 -0.143377 -0.335978
1377 NA11891 1 0.00185169 -0.0483789 -0.168089

1418 NA12275 2 -0.0184984 -0.156233 0.121645
13292 NA07051 1 -0.0219551 -0.0393832 -0.0171629
1354 NA12400 2 -0.0358468 -0.103815 -0.0732348
1451 NA12777 1 -0.0237697 -0.0013729 0.125297
1353 NA12383 2 -0.0167586 0.050416 -0.0170558
1418 NA12273 2 -0.0388465 -0.00396318 -0.204234

进行logistic模型分析：

注意，添加--hide-covar，去掉协变量信息。

plink --file base_dat --pheno phe1.txt --logistic --covar covar.txt --out re1 --hide-covar

结果文件：

$ head re1.assoc.logistic
 CHR         SNP         BP   A1       TEST    NMISS         OR         STAT            P

   1   rs4040617     769185    G        ADD       70      3.977        2.277      0.02278
   1   rs4970383     828418    A        ADD       70      1.974        1.238       0.2158
   1   rs4475691     836671    T        ADD       70      1.474       0.6384       0.5232
   1   rs1806509     843817    C        ADD       70      2.549        2.247      0.02465

「概率和对数优势比的关系」

odds = \frac{p}{1-p}

进而可以推断出：

p = \frac{odds}{1+odds}

由图可知，概率P的最小值为0，最大值为1，中间值为0.5，它对应的对数优势比分别是无穷小，无穷大和0.即：

P=0, log(odds) = -Inf（负无穷大）
P = 0.5, log(odds) = 0
P = 1, log(odds) = Inf(正无穷大）

因此，Logistic回归常常用于估计给定暴露水平时结果事件发生的概率。例如，我们可以用它来预测在给定年龄、性别和行为方式等情形下某人患病的概率。

5. target计算PRS

这里，将target，分别提取性别和pca信息，表型数据，并将ped中的表型数据定义为-9（缺失）。

awk '{print $1,$2,$5}' target_dat.ped >cov1.txt
awk '{print $1,$2,$6}' target_dat.ped >phe1.txt
plink --file target_dat --pca 3
awk '{print $3,$4,$5}' plink.eigenvec >pca.txt
paste cov1.txt pca.txt |sed 's/\s\+/ /g' >covar.txt

awk '{$6=-9;print $0}' target_dat.ped >t.ped
mv t.ped target_dat.ped

这里的target_dat，为没有表型数据的文件。

将其转为二进制文件：

plink --file target_dat --make-bed --out target_bi

计算PRS：

 Rscript PRSice.R --dir re1 --prsice ./PRSice_linux --base re1.assoc.logistic --target target_bi --thread 1 --stat OR --binary-target T --pheno phe1.txt

注意，phe1.txt，有无行头名都可以，都能够正常执行。上面计算PRS时也可以加入协变量，这里不再展示。

5. PRS结果说明

最适合的SNP个数是133个，R2位0.232258，P值为0.014

$ head PRSice.summary
Phenotype Set Threshold PRS.R2 Full.R2 Null.R2 Prevalence Coefficient Standard.Error P Num_SNP

对应的43个个体的PRS结果：

$ head PRSice.best
FID IID In_Regression PRS

1451 NA12776 Yes -0.0865534231
13291 NA07435 Yes -0.104468725

上面数据中，个体的PRS为正值，说明风险高，为负值，说明风险低。
