Abstract excerpt
Gene-environment interaction (G×E) studies analyze how environmental conditions cushion or exacerbate differences in genetic endowments. A gene-environment correlation (rGE) between the polygenic index (PGI) and the environmental condition employed in these G×E studies could bias the estimation of the interaction effect. In this brief report, we discuss the limitations of the commonplace correlation-based test...
