False Appearance of Gene–Environment Interactions in Genetic Association Studies
Under the assumption of gene-environment independence, unknown/unmeasured environmental factors, irrespective of what they may be, cannot confound the genetic effects. This may lead many people to believe that genetic heterogeneity across different levels of the studied environmental exposure should only mean gene-environment interaction--even though other environmental factors are not adjusted...
متن کاملModeling Haplotype-Haplotype Interactions in Case-Control Genetic Association Studies
Haplotype analysis has been increasingly used to study the genetic basis of human diseases, but models for characterizing genetic interactions between haplotypes from different chromosomal regions have not been well developed in the current literature. In this article, we describe a statistical model for testing haplotype-haplotype interactions for human diseases with a case-control genetic ass...
متن کاملGenetic Association Studies in Stroke
Background and Purpose—A large number of candidate gene association studies have attempted to identify genes implicated in stroke, but there have been few replicable and robust associations reported. Summary of Review—The skantness of replicable associations partly relates to poor study design. Important methodological considerations include adequate sample size, the selection of appropriate co...
متن کاملGenetic association studies.
To the Editor: I am delighted to see that Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology has taken the lead in initiating an open discussion about genetic association studies in such a prominent manner. As correctly pointed out in the editorial by Dr Hegele,1 the number of publications has exponentially increased in the last decade. Despite the intrinsic problems with this approach, this ex...
متن کاملGenetic association studies.
With the completion of the HapMap project1 and the development of technology that allows the examination of 1 million genetic polymorphisms at once, genetic association studies are becoming more comprehensive. This article first provides a brief overview of the rationale for genetic association studies; it then discusses the primary features differentiating genetic from standard association stu...
