Genetic dissection methods: designs used for tests of gene-environment interaction.

Abstract excerpt

Given recent advances in the field of molecular genetics, many have recognized the need to exploit either study designs or analytical methods to test hypotheses with gene-by-environment (G x E) interactions. The partial-collection designs, including case-only, partial case-control, and case-parent trio designs, have been suggested as attractive alternatives to the complete case-control design both for increased...
