Exploiting interactions among polymorphisms contributing to complex disease traits with boosted generative modeling.

Abstract excerpt

Although there has been great success in identifying disease genes for simple, monogenic Mendelian traits, deciphering the genetic mechanisms involved in complex diseases remains challenging. One major approach is to identify configurations of interacting factors such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that confer susceptibility to disease. Traditional methods, such as the multiple dimensional reduction...
