Detection of genotype-environment interaction in case-control studies of birth defects: how big a sample size?

Abstract excerpt

Detecting interactions between risk factors in case-control studies of birth defects and other conditions usually requires increasing the sample size beyond that needed to detect marginal effects. A special case of such interaction is genotype-environment interaction in which the effects of an exposure on disease risk are modified by genetic susceptibility. When case-control studies are designed to detect...
