## Abstract Association studies accounting for gene–environment interactions (G × E) may be useful for detecting genetic effects. Although current technology enables very dense marker spacing in genetic association studies, the true disease variants may not be genotyped. Thus, causal genes are sear
Many complex diseases are likely to be a result of the interplay of genes and environmental exposures. The standard analysis in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) scans for main effects and ignores the potentially useful information in the available exposure data. Two recently proposed methods t
## Abstract In genomewide genetic association studies, prior biological knowledge may help distinguish variation that is truly associated with a quantitative trait from the vast majority of unassociated variation that may be significant in hypothesis testing due to chance. However, formal methods f
