Abstract excerpt
Nonlinear genetic architectures, including epistasis and threshold effects, are increasingly recognized as contributors to complex disease risk, yet most existing SNP-set association tests rely on linear modeling assumptions, resulting in reduced power and unstable inference when genetic effects are nonlinear or heterogeneously distributed across variants. To address this limitation, we propose a nonlinear...
