Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The identification of gene-gene interactions has been limited by small sample size and large number of potential interactions between genes. To address this issue, Ritchie et al. [2001] have proposed multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method to detect polymorphisms associated with the disease risk. The MDR reduces the dimension of the genetic factors by classifying them into high-risk and...
