Candidate gene studies are generally motivated by some form of pathway reasoning in the selection of genes to be studied, but seldom has the logic of the approach been carried through to the analysis. Marginal effects of polymorphisms in the selected genes, and occasionally pairwise gene–gene or gene–environment interactions,are often presented, but a unified approach to modelling the entire pathway has been...
