Geneβgene interaction plays an important role in the etiology of complex diseases, which may exist without a genetic main effect. Most current statistical approaches, however, focus on assessing an interaction effect in the presence of the gene's main effects. It would be very helpful to develop met
We assessed the sample size required for detecting gene-environment (G Γ E) interactions in a case-control study of complex diseases. The results suggest that large numbers of cases and controls will be required to detect G Γ E interaction for some odds ratio and exposure frequency combinations. The
## Abstract Despite the importance of geneβenvironment (GΓE) interactions in the etiology of common diseases, little work has been done to develop methods for detecting these types of interactions in genomeβwide association study data. This was the focus of Genetic Analysis Workshop 16 Group 10 con
For complex diseases, the relationship between genotypes, environment factors, and phenotype is usually complex and nonlinear. Our understanding of the genetic architecture of diseases has considerably increased over the last years. However, both conceptually and methodologically, detecting gene-gen
