A two-stage testing strategy for detecting genes×environment interactions in association studies.

Abstract excerpt

Identifying gene×environment (G×E) interactions, especially when rare variants are included in genome-wide association studies, is a major challenge in statistical genetics. However, the detection of G×E interactions is very important for understanding the etiology of complex diseases. Although currently some statistical methods have been developed to detect the interactions between genes and environment, the...
