Efficient designs of gene-environment interaction studies: implications of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and gene-environment independence.
It is important to investigate whether genetic susceptibility variants exercise the same effects in populations that are differentially exposed to environmental risk factors. Here, we assess the power of four two-stage case-control design strategies for assessing multiplicative gene-environment (G-E) interactions or for assessing genetic or environmental effects in the presence of G-E interacti...
متن کاملA Gene-Environment Interaction
Background—Particulate air pollution has been associated with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Transition metals such as iron bound to the particles may be responsible for those associations. The protein product of the hemochromatosis (HFE) gene modulates uptake of iron and divalent cations from pulmonary sources and reduces their toxicity. Two HFE polymorphisms (C282Y and H63D) associat...
متن کاملTests for gene-environment interaction from case-control data: a novel study of type I error, power and designs.
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 four alternative tests for interactions: (i) the standard case-control method; (ii) the case-only method, which...
متن کاملSocial Integration and Sleep Disturbance: A Gene-Environment Interaction Study
Low levels of perceived social integration, or loneliness, are associated with increased risk for a range of poor health outcomes, including depression [1], elevated vascular resistance [2], poor sleep [3], and early death [4]. Despite the fact that epidemiological literature linking objective and perceived social integration with health is quite large, questions about causality remain (cf. [5,...
متن کاملstudy of dna interaction with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and sesamol food additives
برهمکنش dnaتیموس گاوی طبیعی (ct-dna) با اتیلن دی آمین تترااستات (edta)در بافرtris-hcl با 8/7 ph ( دراین ph،edta به نمک دی سدیم تبدیل می شود) وسسامول در بافر tris-hcl با4/7 ph مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. edta و سسامول استفاده فراوانی در تکنولوژی غذایی و صنعت شیمیایی دارند. مدل اتصال dna مربوط بهedta بوسیله اسپکتروفتومتری جذب، دورنگ نمایی حلقوی(cd)، ویسکومتری وژل الکتروفورز بررسی شده است. طیفuv ...
