Abstract excerpt
We analyzed 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene, to identify pairs of SNPs that interact in a non-additive manner to influence genotypic mean levels of the ApoE protein in blood. An overparameterized general linear model of two-SNP genotype means was applied to data from 456 female and 398 male unrelated European Americans from Rochester, MN, USA. We found...
