Abstract excerpt
Complex diseases are generally caused by intricate interactions of multiple genes and environmental factors. Most available linkage and association methods are developed to identify individual susceptibility genes assuming a simple disease model blind to any possible gene - gene and gene - environmental interactions. We used a set association method that uses single-nucleotide polymorphism markers to locate...
