Abstract excerpt
Gene-gene interactions have an important role in complex human diseases. Detection of gene-gene interactions has long been a challenge due to their complexity. The standard method aiming at detecting SNP-SNP interactions may be inadequate as it does not model linkage disequilibrium (LD) among SNPs in each gene and may lose power due to a large number of comparisons. To improve power, we propose a principal...
