Invited commentary: from genome-wide association studies to gene-environment-wide interaction studies--challenges and opportunities.
The recent success of genome-wide association studies in finding susceptibility genes for many common diseases presents tremendous opportunities for epidemiologic studies of environmental risk factors. Analysis of gene-environment interactions, included in only a small fraction of epidemiologic studies until now, will begin to accelerate as investigators integrate analyses of genome-wide variat...
متن کاملGene-environment interaction in genome-wide association studies.
It is a commonly held belief that most complex diseases (e.g., diabetes, asthma, cancer) are affected in part by interactions between genes and environmental factors. However, investigators conducting genome-wide association studies typically test for only the marginal effects of each genetic marker on disease. In this paper, the authors propose an efficient and easily implemented 2-step analys...
متن کاملReplication and heterogeneity in gene x environment interaction studies.
There has been considerable interest in generenvironment (GrE) interactions in psychiatric genetics since studies by Caspi and colleagues (Caspi et al. 2002, 2003) suggested that these may illuminate the aetiology and genetic architecture of behavioural phenotypes. However, as with earlier candidate gene studies (Ioannidis et al. 2001), initial promise was subsequently followed by failures to r...
متن کاملPractice of Epidemiology Environmental Confounding in Gene-Environment Interaction Studies
We show that, in the presence of uncontrolled environmental confounding, joint tests for the presence of a main genetic effect and gene-environment interaction will be biased if the genetic and environmental factors are correlated, even if there is no effect of either the genetic factor or the environmental factor on the disease. When environmental confounding is ignored, such tests will in fac...
