Abstract excerpt
Most human diseases result from complex interactions among multiple genes that yield weak or modest effects. Despite the growing awareness of the importance of gene-gene interactions, the paradigm of detectable effects of individual variants remains the cornerstone of genome association studies with tagSNPs. The interactive effect of two variants is only tested once the individual effect of one variant is...
