Robust Gene-Gene Interaction Analysis in Genome Wide Association Studies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
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.

Variants within the MMP3 gene are associated with achilles tendinopathy: possible interaction with the COL5A1 gene [PDF]

, 2009
Objectives: Sequence variation within the COL5A1 and TNC genes are known to associate with Achilles tendinopathy. The primary aim of this case-control genetic association study was to investigate whether variants within the matrix metalloproteinase 3 ...

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).

Bayesian semiparametric analysis for two-phase studies of gene-environment interaction [PDF]

, 2013
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 ...

Simulating gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in complex diseases: Gene-Environment iNteraction Simulator 2

BMC Bioinformatics, 2012
Background The analysis of complex diseases is an important problem in human genetics. Because multifactoriality is expected to play a pivotal role, many studies are currently focused on collecting information on the genetic and environmental factors ...

Remotely acting SMCHD1 gene regulatory elements: in silico prediction and identification of potential regulatory variants in patients with FSHD [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is commonly associated with contraction of the D4Z4 macro-satellite repeat on chromosome 4q35 (FSHD1) or mutations in the SMCHD1 gene (FSHD2).

An Exploration of Gene-Gene Interactions and Their Effects on Hypertension [PDF]

International Journal of Genomics, 2017
Hypertension tends to perpetuate in families and the heritability of hypertension is estimated to be around 20–60%. So far, the main proportion of this heritability has not been found by single-locus genome-wide association studies. Therefore, the current study explored gene-gene interactions that have the potential to partially fill in the missing ...

The lipoprotein lipase S447X polymorphism and plasma lipids

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
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

Travelling the world of gene-gene interactions [PDF]

Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2011
Over the last few years, main effect genetic association analysis has proven to be a successful tool to unravel genetic risk components to a variety of complex diseases. In the quest for disease susceptibility factors and the search for the 'missing heritability', supplementary and complementary efforts have been undertaken. These include the inclusion
