Effects of Thyroxine Exposure on Osteogenesis in Mouse Calvarial Pre-Osteoblasts [PDF]
The incidence of craniosynostosis is one in every 1,800-2500 births. The gene-environment model proposes that if a genetic predisposition is coupled with environmental exposures, the effects can be multiplicative resulting in severely abnormal phenotypes.

Information-theoretic gene-gene and gene-environment interaction analysis of quantitative traits
Background The purpose of this research was to develop a novel information theoretic method and an efficient algorithm for analyzing the gene-gene (GGI) and gene-environmental interactions (GEI) associated with quantitative traits (QT).

Replication of Gene-by-psychosocial Stress Interaction Effects on Central Adiposity in a Korean Population [PDF]
Objectives Central obesity plays a major role in the development of many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. Chronic stress may be involved in the pathophysiology of central obesity.

A novel approach to simulate gene-environment interactions in complex diseases [PDF]
Background: Complex diseases are multifactorial traits caused by both genetic and environmental factors. They represent the major part of human diseases and include those with largest prevalence and mortality (cancer, heart disease, obesity, etc ...

The lipoprotein lipase S447X polymorphism and plasma lipids
We studied 4,058 subjects from a representative sample of the Singapore population 1) to determine the association between the S447X polymorphism at the LPL locus and serum lipid concentration in Chinese, Malays, and Asian Indians living in Singapore and

Differential expression of placental glucocorticoid receptors and growth arrest-specific transcript 5 in term and preterm pregnancies: evidence for involvement of maternal stress. [PDF]
This article has been made available through the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fund.Pregnancy-specific stress predicts birth outcomes. We hypothesized that there is a maternal stress-GR interaction that can influence fetal birth weight.

Gene-environment interaction: A genetic-epidemiological approach [PDF]
Classical epidemiology addresses the distribution and determinants of diseases in populations, and the factors associated with disease causation, with the aim of preventing disease. Both genetic and environmental factors may contribute to susceptibility,

IPRS: Leveraging Gene-Environment Interaction to Reconstruct Polygenic Risk Score
Background: Polygenic risk score (PRS) is widely regarded as a predictor of genetic susceptibility to disease, applied to individuals to predict the risk of disease occurrence.
