Abstract excerpt
The Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) is the study design of choice for detecting common genetic risk factors for multifactorial diseases. The performance of full Genome-Wide Interaction Analyses (GWIA) has always been considered computationally challenging. Two-stage strategies to reduce the amount of numerical analysis require the detection of single marker effects or prior pathophysiological hypotheses...
