    abstract = {Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) play a prominent role in modern genetics. Current genotyping technologies such as Sequenom iPLEX, ABI TaqMan and KBioscience KASPar made the genotyping of huge SNP sets in large populations straightforward and allow the generation of hundreds of thousands of genotypes even in medium sized labs. While data generation is straightforward, the subsequent data conversion, storage and quality control steps are time-consuming, error-prone and require extensive bioinformatic support. In order to ease this tedious process, we developed SNPflow. SNPflow is a lightweight, intuitive and easily deployable application, which processes genotype data from Sequenom MassARRAY (iPLEX) and ABI 7900HT (TaqMan, KASPar) systems and is extendible to other genotyping methods as well. SNPflow automatically converts the raw output files to ready-to-use genotype lists, calculates all standard quality control values such as call rate, expected and real amount of replicates, minor allele frequency, absolute number of discordant replicates, discordance rate and the p-value of the HWE test, checks the plausibility of the observed genotype frequencies by comparing them to HapMap/1000-Genomes, provides a module for the processing of SNPs, which allow sex determination for DNA quality control purposes and, finally, stores all data in a relational database. SNPflow runs on all common operating systems and comes as both stand-alone version and multi-user version for laboratory-wide use. The software, a user manual, screenshots and a screencast illustrating the main features are available at http://genepi-snpflow.i-med.ac.at.},

abstract = "Objective Effect modification by obesity or obesity-related phenotypes (e.g. physical activity and diet) was observed in some candidate gene studies on lipids. We aimed to evaluate gene–obesity interaction effects on \{HDL\} (HDL-C), \{LDL\} (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC) levels using genetic predisposition scores. Methods We derived imputed genotypes for 104 \{SNPs\} in 84 lipid-associated loci in the population-based studies \{KORA\} \{F3\} (n = 1406) and \{KORA\} \{F4\} (n = 1515). We inferred specific unbiased weights for each \{SNP\} from linear regression estimates in \{KORA\} F4. Weighted genotypic predisposition SNP-scores were then calculated for each lipid trait in \{KORA\} F3. Interaction terms of SNP-scores with each of the obesity parameters (BMI, waist–hip-ratio, waist circumference) were included in age- and sex-adjusted linear regression models on HDL-C, LDL-C and TC. Results All three SNP-scores were shown to be highly associated with their respective lipid levels (p = 1.11 × 10−47 for HDL-C, p = 3.25 × 10−19 for LDL-C and 1.53 × 10−13 for TC). BMI, \{WHR\} and waist circumference modified the effect of the weighted HDL-C SNP-score on HDL-C significantly (all interaction p-values < 0.0062). No interaction term was significant for LDL-C or TC. Accounting for gene–obesity interaction substantially increased the proportion of HDL-C variance explained by 3–3.5%. Conclusion Our investigation revealed a significant interaction effect between obesity parameters and a SNP-score on HDL-C: the combined effect of HDL-C-increasing alleles on HDL-C is attenuated with increasing levels of obesity–relevant parameters. Future studies aiming to detect new genetic variants or to model genetic predictions of HDL-C levels should take obesity or obesity associated parameters into account. "
