Abstract excerpt
The genetic basis of complex diseases is expected to be highly heterogeneous, with many disease genes, where each gene by itself has only a small effect. Based on the nonlinear contributions of disease genes across the genome to complex diseases, we introduce the concept of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) synergistic blocks. A two-stage approach is applied to detect the genetic association of synergistic...
