Abstract excerpt
Replication of statistically significant associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and disease phenotypes has been problematic. One reason for conflicting observations may be failure to consider confounding factors, including gene-gene (epistatic) interactions. Our experience with the insertion/deletion polymorphism at -688 in the promoter region of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) seems...
