Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have increased our understanding of Parkinson's disease genetics by identifying common disease-associated variants. However, much of the heritability remains unaccounted for, and we hypothesized that this could be explained, in part, by epistasis, the statistical interaction between two or more genetic variants. Here, we developed a genome-wide non-exhaustive epistasis screening...
