## 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 To evaluate the risk of a disease associated with the joint effects of genetic susceptibility and environmental exposures, epidemiologic researchers often test for non‐multiplicative gene‐environment effects from case‐control studies. In this article, we present a comparative study of f
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the mismatch repair genes in particular in MLH1, MSH2 and MSH6. The disease is characterized by the development of colorectal, endometrial cancer and several other cancers. There is evi
