Meta-Analysis of SNP-Environment Interaction with Heterogeneity.

Abstract excerpt

Meta-analyses are widely used in genome-wide association studies to combine the results obtained from multiple studies. Classical random-effects methods treat genetic heterogeneity as a random effect and consider it as a portion of the variance associated with a fixed effect of the variant. Recent work suggests performing hypothesis testing with the null hypothesis under which neither fixed nor random effects...
