Our aim was to develop a simple method for testing gene-environment interaction in twin data ascertained through affected twins (probands), with known exposure status of both cotwins. To this end we derived formulae for two epidemiologic measures, as a function of prevalence of an exposure and genot
## Abstract Even though __SQSTM1__ gene mutations have been identified in a consistent number of patients, the etiology of Paget's disease of bone (PDB) remains in part unknown. In this study we analyzed __SQSTM1__ mutations in 533 of 608 consecutive PDB patients from several regions, including the
Relationships between genotype x environment interaction and genetic correlation of the same trait measured in different fixed environments are derived by comparing the variance-covariance structures of observations between a one-way multiple-trait linear model and a two-way single-trait mixed linea
## 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
## Abstract Twin studies suggest that genetic factors influence smoking behavior. However, in these studies, genetic and environmental influences may be confounded. We examined whether smoking behavior of adoptees is associated with smoking behavior in adoptive and biological relatives in a design
