Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) often measure gene-environment interactions (G × E). We consider the problem of accurately estimating a G × E in a case-control GWAS when a subset of the controls have silent, or undiagnosed, disease and the frequency of the silent disease varies by the environmental variable. We show that using case-control status without accounting for misdiagnosis can lead to biased...
