## Abstract A genetic variant is very likely to manifest its effect on disease through its main effect as well as through its interaction with other genetic variants or environmental factors. Power to detect genetic variants can be greatly improved by modeling their main effects and their interacti
For diseases with complex genetic etiology, more than one susceptibility gene may exist in a single chromosomal region. Under explicit assumptions about the number of disease genes in a region, generalized estimating equations (GEE) can be used to estimate the putative disease gene location(s) and e
