## Abstract In this paper we investigate the power to identify gene × gene interactions in genome‐wide association studies. In our analysis we focus on two‐stage analyses: analyses in which we only test for interactions between single nucleotide polymorphisms that show some marginal effect. We give

## Abstract It is now well recognized that gene–gene and gene–environment interactions are important in complex diseases, and statistical methods to detect interactions are becoming widespread. Traditional parametric approaches are limited in their ability to detect high‐order interactions and hand
Many complex diseases are likely to be a result of the interplay of genes and environmental exposures. The standard analysis in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) scans for main effects and ignores the potentially useful information in the available exposure data. Two recently proposed methods t
