Abstract excerpt
Epistasis, or gene-gene interaction, results from joint effects of genes on a trait; thus, the same alleles of one gene may display different genetic effects in different genetic backgrounds. In this study, we generalized the coding technique of a natural and orthogonal interaction (NOIA) model for association studies along with gene-gene interactions for dichotomous traits and human complex diseases. The NOIA...
