Gene-environment interaction: overcoming methodological challenges.

Abstract excerpt

While interacting biological effects of genes and environmental exposures (G x E) form a natural part of the causal framework underlying disorders of human health, the detection of G x E relies on inference from statistical interactions observed at population level. The validity of such inference has been questioned because the presence or absence of statistical interaction depends on measurement scale and...
