## Abstract Although genetic factors play an important role in most human diseases, multiple genes or genes and environmental factors may influence individual risk. In order to understand the underlying biological mechanisms of complex diseases, it is important to understand the complex relationshi
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
