We assessed the sample size required for detecting gene-environment (G × 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 × E interaction for some odds ratio and exposure frequency combinations. The

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
## Abstract With the advent of rapid and relatively cheap genotyping technologies there is now the opportunity to attempt to identify gene‐environment and gene‐gene interactions when the number of genes and environmental factors is potentially large. Unfortunately the dimensionality of the paramete
