With rapid advances in genotyping technologies in recent years and the growing number of available markers, genomewide association studies are emerging as promising approaches for the study of complex diseases and traits. However, there are several challenges with analysis and interpretation of such
## Abstract Genomeβwide association (GWA) studies have recently emerged as a major approach to gene discovery for many complex diseases. Since GWA scans are expensive, cost efficiency is an important factor to consider in study design. However, it often requires extensive and timeβconsuming compute
## Abstract In this paper we investigate the power to identify gene Γ gene interactions in genomeβwide association studies. In our analysis we focus on twoβstage analyses: analyses in which we only test for interactions between single nucleotide polymorphisms that show some marginal effect. We give
