This paper summarizes the contributions of group 8 to the Genetic Analysis Workshop 15. Group 8 focused on ways to address the possibility that genetic and environmental effects on phenotype may not be independent, but instead may interact in ways that could play important roles in determining pheno
The importance of environment and genetics working together to shape an individual's risk for atherosclerosis seems intuitively obvious. However, it is only recently that research strategies have begun to evolve that attempt to answer questions related to apportionment of risk that is due to specifi
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 geneβenvironment and geneβgene interactions when the number of genes and environmental factors is potentially large. Unfortunately the dimensionality of the paramete
Detection of gene-environment interactions using an exhaustive search necessarily raises the multiple hypothesis problem. While frequently used to control for experiment-wise type I error, Bonferroni correction is overly conservative and results in reduced statistical power. We have previously shown
