Gene–gene interactions in breast cancer susceptibility [PDF]
There have been few definitive examples of gene-gene interactions in humans. Through mutational analyses in 7325 individuals, we report four interactions (defined as departures from a multiplicative model) between mutations in the breast cancer susceptibility genes ATM and CHEK2 with BRCA1 and BRCA2 (case-only interaction between ATM and BRCA1/BRCA2 ...

Eigen-Epistasis for detecting gene-gene interactions [PDF]
A large amount of research has been devoted to the detection and investigation of epistatic interactions in genome-wide association studies (GWASs). Most of the literature focuses on low-order interactions between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with significant main effects.In this paper we propose an original approach for detecting epistasis ...

Exhaustive Genome-Wide Search for SNP-SNP Interactions Across 10 Human Diseases
The identification of statistical SNP-SNP interactions may help explain the genetic etiology of many human diseases, but exhaustive genome-wide searches for these interactions have been difficult, due to a lack of power in most datasets.

Gene-Gene Interaction between APOA5 and USF1: Two Candidate Genes for the Metabolic Syndrome [PDF]
Objective: The metabolic syndrome, a major cluster of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, shows increasing prevalence worldwide. Several studies have established associations of both apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene variants and upstream stimulatory ...

Gene-Based Methods to Detect Gene-Gene Interaction in R: The GeneGeneInteR Package
GeneGeneInteR is an R package dedicated to the detection of an association between a case-control phenotype and the interaction between two sets of biallelic markers (single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs) in case-control genome-wide associations ...

Gene–gene interactions in APOL1-associated nephropathy [PDF]
Two APOL1 nephropathy variants confer substantial risk for non-diabetic end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in African Americans (AAs). Since not all genetically high-risk individuals develop ESKD, modifying factors likely contribute. Forty-two potentially interactive single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from a genome-wide association study in non ...

Gene Network Biological Validity Based on Gene-Gene Interaction Relevance
In recent years, gene networks have become one of the most useful tools for modeling biological processes. Many inference gene network algorithms have been developed as techniques for extracting knowledge from gene expression data.

A network view of human immune system and virus-human interaction
The immune system is highly networked and complex, which is continuously changing as encountering old and new pathogens. However, reductionism-based researches do not give a systematic understanding of the molecular mechanism of the immune response and ...

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).

Robust Gene-Gene Interaction Analysis in Genome Wide Association Studies. [PDF]
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully discovered hundreds of associations between genetic variants and complex traits. Most GWAS have focused on the identification of single variants.
