Composite measure of linkage disequilibrium for testing interaction between unlinked loci.

Abstract excerpt

Widely used statistical interaction models essentially treated the interaction effect as a residual term and hence are likely to limit the power to detect interaction. Alternatively, interactions between two loci can be understood as irreducible dependencies between loci causing disease or viewed as the linkage disequilibrium (LD) between them. This motivated the development of LD-based statistics for the...
