Detecting rare and common haplotype-environment interaction under uncertainty of gene-environment independence assumption.

Abstract excerpt

Finding rare variants and gene-environment interactions (GXE) is critical in dissecting complex diseases. We consider the problem of detecting GXE where G is a rare haplotype and E is a nongenetic factor. Such methods typically assume G-E independence, which may not hold in many applications. A pertinent example is lung cancer-there is evidence that variants on Chromosome 15q25.1 interact with smoking to affect...
