## Abstract When testing for genetic effects, failure to account for a gene‐environment interaction can mask the true association effects of a genetic marker with disease. Family‐based association tests are popular because they are completely robust to population substructure and model misspecifica
## 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
