Structured gene‐environment interaction analysis [PDF]
AbstractFor the etiology, progression, and treatment of complex diseases, gene‐environment (G‐E) interactions have important implications beyond the main G and E effects. G‐E interaction analysis can be more challenging with higher dimensionality and need for accommodating the “main effects, interactions” hierarchy.

Mutual information for testing gene-environment interaction. [PDF]
Despite current enthusiasm for investigation of gene-gene interactions and gene-environment interactions, the essential issue of how to define and detect gene-environment interactions remains unresolved.

Gene-environment interaction in molar-incisor hypomineralization.
Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is an enamel condition characterized by lesions ranging in color from white to brown which present rapid caries progression, and mainly affects permanent first molars and incisors. These enamel defects usually occur

Gene-Environment Dependence Creates Spurious Gene-Environment Interaction [PDF]
Gene-environment interactions have the potential to shed light on biological processes leading to disease and to improve the accuracy of epidemiological risk models. However, relatively few such interactions have yet been confirmed. In part this is because genetic markers such as tag SNPs are usually studied, rather than the causal variants themselves.

Gene × Environment Interaction [PDF]
For all major mental disorders there are many factors that, in combination and through multiple pathways, increase or decrease the risk of onset. These include, to varying degrees, genetic and environmental factors. This chapter provides an introduction, from an epidemiological perspective, to the study of gene–environment interaction.

Signatures of adaptation in myopia-related genes on the sunlight exposure hypothesis
Background Myopia is a common eye disorder that results from gene-environment interactions. The prevalence of myopia varies across populations, and exposure to bright sunlight may prevent its development.

Regulation of Pancreatic β-Cell Mass by Gene-Environment Interaction [PDF]
The main pathogenic mechanism of diabetes consists of an increase in insulin resistance and a decrease in insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. The number of diabetic patients has been increasing dramatically worldwide, especially in Asian people ...

Bayesian semiparametric analysis for two-phase studies of gene-environment interaction [PDF]
The two-phase sampling design is a cost-efficient way of collecting expensive covariate information on a judiciously selected subsample. It is natural to apply such a strategy for collecting genetic data in a subsample enriched for exposure to ...
