Abstract excerpt
Many popular methods for exploring gene-gene interactions, including the case-only approach, rely on the key assumption that physically distant loci are in linkage equilibrium in the underlying population. These methods utilize the presence of correlation between unlinked loci in a disease-enriched sample as evidence of interactions among the loci in the etiology of the disease. We use data from the CGEMS...
