Statistical methods with exhaustive search in the identification of gene-gene interactions for colorectal cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Though additive forms of heritability are primarily studied in genetics, nonlinear, non-additive gene-gene interactions, that is, epistasis, could explain a portion of the missing heritability in complex human diseases including cancer. In recent years, powerful computational methods have been introduced to understand multivariable genetic factors of these complex human diseases in extremely high-dimensional...
