Abstract excerpt
Complex trait variation is likely to be explained by the combined effects of genes, environmental factors, and gene x environment (G x E) interaction. The authors introduce a novel 2-step method for detecting a G x E interaction in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of case-parent trios. The method utilizes 2 sources of G x E information in a trio sample to construct a screening step and a testing step....
