Risk score modeling of multiple gene to gene interactions using aggregated-multifactor dimensionality reduction

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (MDR) has been widely applied to detect gene-gene (GxG) interactions associated with complex diseases. Existing MDR methods summarize disease risk by a dichotomous predisposing model (high-risk/low-risk) from one optimal GxG interaction, which does not take the accumulated effects from multiple GxG interactions into account. RESULTS: We propose an...
