Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epistasis, i.e., the interaction of alleles at different loci, is thought to play a central role in the formation and progression of complex diseases. The complexity of disease expression should arise from a complex network of epistatic interactions involving multiple genes. METHODOLOGY: We develop a general model for testing high-order epistatic interactions for a complex disease in a case-control...
