Genotype Pattern Mining for Pairs of Interacting Variants Underlying Digenic Traits.

Abstract excerpt

Some genetic diseases ("digenic traits") are due to the interaction between two DNA variants, which presumably reflects biochemical interactions. For example, certain forms of Retinitis Pigmentosa, a type of blindness, occur in the presence of two mutant variants, one each in the ROM1 and RDS genes, while the occurrence of only one such variant results in a normal phenotype. Detecting variant pairs underlying...
