Information-theoretic gene-gene and gene-environment interaction analysis of quantitative traits
BMC Genomics, 2009 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).

Inference of gene-environment interaction from heterogeneous case-parent trios
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Introduction: In genetic epidemiology, log-linear models of population risk may be used to study the effect of genotypes and exposures on the relative risk of a disease.

Replication of Gene-by-psychosocial Stress Interaction Effects on Central Adiposity in a Korean Population [PDF]
Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, 2016 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.

Effects of Thyroxine Exposure on Osteogenesis in Mouse Calvarial Pre-Osteoblasts [PDF]
, 2013 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.

IPRS: Leveraging Gene-Environment Interaction to Reconstruct Polygenic Risk Score
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 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.

Stacking-induced fluorescence increase reveals allosteric interactions through DNA [PDF]
, 2018 From gene expression to nanotechnology, understanding and controlling DNA requires a detailed knowledge of its higher order structure and dynamics. Here we take advantage of the environment-sensitive photoisomerization of cyanine dyes to probe local and ...

Gene-environment interaction: A genetic-epidemiological approach [PDF]
Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2010 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,

Natural variation in abiotic stress responsive gene expression and local adaptation to climate in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
, 2014 Gene expression varies widely in natural populations, yet the proximate and ultimate causes of this variation are poorly known. Understanding how variation in gene expression affects abiotic stress tolerance, fitness, and adaptation is central to the ...
