A PLSPM-Based Test Statistic for Detecting Gene-Gene Co-Association in Genome-Wide Association Study with Case-Control Design
For genome-wide association data analysis, two genes in any pathway, two SNPs in the two linked gene regions respectively or in the two linked exons respectively within one gene are often correlated with each other. We therefore proposed the concept of gene-gene co-association, which refers to the effects not only due to the traditional interaction under nearly independent condition but the cor...
متن کاملPowerful Tukey’s One Degree-of-Freedom Test for Detecting Gene–Gene and Gene–Environment Interactions
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) robustly associated with hundreds of complex human diseases including cancers. However, the large number of GWAS-identified genetic loci only explains a small proportion of the disease heritability. This "missing heritability" problem has been partly attributed to the yet-to-be-identified...
متن کاملGATES: a rapid and powerful gene-based association test using extended Simes procedure.
The gene has been proposed as an attractive unit of analysis for association studies, but a simple yet valid, powerful, and sufficiently fast method of evaluating the statistical significance of all genes in large, genome-wide datasets has been lacking. Here we propose the use of an extended Simes test that integrates functional information and association evidence to combine the p values of th...
متن کاملPearson’s Goodness of Fit Statistic as a Score Test Statistic∗
For any generalized linear model, the Pearson goodness of fit statistic is the score test statistic for testing the current model against the saturated model. The relationship between the Pearson statistic and the residual deviance is therefore the relationship between the score test and the likelihood ratio test statistics, and this clarifies the role of the Pearson statistic in generalized li...
متن کاملPowerful cocktail methods for detecting genome-wide gene-environment interaction.
Identifying gene and environment interaction (G × E) can provide insights into biological networks of complex diseases, identify novel genes that act synergistically with environmental factors, and inform risk prediction. However, despite the fact that hundreds of novel disease-associated loci have been identified from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), few G × Es have been discovered. One...
