Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have been extremely successful in identifying novel loci contributing effects to a wide range of complex human traits. However, despite this success, the joint marginal effects of these loci account for only a small proportion of the heritability of these traits
## Abstract In this paper we investigate the power to identify gene ร gene interactions in genomeโwide association studies. In our analysis we focus on twoโstage analyses: analyses in which we only test for interactions between single nucleotide polymorphisms that show some marginal effect. We give
## Abstract Despite the importance of geneโenvironment (GรE) interactions in the etiology of common diseases, little work has been done to develop methods for detecting these types of interactions in genomeโwide association study data. This was the focus of Genetic Analysis Workshop 16 Group 10 con
