The scientific and public health implications of gene-environment interaction warrant that the most powerful study designs and methods of analysis be used. Because traditional case-control designs, which use nonrelated subjects, have demonstrated the need for large samples to detect interactions, al

Association studies using diseased cases and their parents avoid biases due to population stratification, and the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) is a popular method of analysis. Sample size and power calculations for the TDT method have been reported, but often for the special situation of m
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 We have previously reported a threefold risk of cleft palate only (CPO) among children homozygous for the less common allele A2 at the TaqI marker site of the transforming growth factor alpha gene (__TGFA__) (Jugessur et al. [2003a] Genet. Epidemiol. 24:230β239). Here we assess possible
## Abstract Markers in five candidate genes were examined on 269 caseβparent trios ascertained through a child with an isolated, nonβsyndromic oral cleft (cleft lip, CL; cleft palate, CP; or cleft lip and palate, CLP). Cases and their parents were ascertained through treatment centers in Maryland.
## Abstract To evaluate the risk of a disease associated with the joint effects of genetic susceptibility and environmental exposures, epidemiologic researchers often test for nonβmultiplicative geneβenvironment effects from caseβcontrol studies. In this article, we present a comparative study of f
