Mutual Information for Testing Gene-Environment Interaction
Despite current enthusiasm for investigation of gene-gene interactions and gene-environment interactions, the essential issue of how to define and detect gene-environment interactions remains unresolved. In this report, we define gene-environment interactions as a stochastic dependence in the context of the effects of the genetic and environmental risk factors on the cause of phenotypic variati...
متن کاملParameter estimation for piecewise linear models of gene regulatory networks
One main goal in Systems Biology is the understanding and modelling of regulatory processes on molecular level. An important step to achieve this goal is the study of gene regulatory networks. Models for such networks based on piecewise linear differential equations have the advantage of being analytically solvable. A parameter estimation approach is proposed which is based on hinging hyperplan...
متن کاملSimultaneously testing for marginal genetic association and gene-environment interaction.
In this article, the authors propose to simultaneously test for marginal genetic association and gene-environment interaction to discover single nucleotide polymorphisms that may be involved in gene-environment or gene-treatment interaction. The asymptotic independence of the marginal association estimator and various interaction estimators leads to a simple and flexible way of combining the 2 ...
متن کاملStochastic Restricted Two-Parameter Estimator in Linear Mixed Measurement Error Models
In this study, the stochastic restricted and unrestricted two-parameter estimators of fixed and random effects are investigated in the linear mixed measurement error models. For this purpose, the asymptotic properties and then the comparisons under the criterion of mean squared error matrix (MSEM) are derived. Furthermore, the proposed methods are used for estimating the biasing parameters. Fin...
متن کاملGene-Gene Interaction Study Between Genetic Polymorphisms of Folate Metabolism and MTR SNPs on Prognostic Features Impact for Breast Cancer
Background: Breast Cancer (BC), the second leading cause of cancer mortality after lung cancer and varied across the world due to genetic and environmental factors. In this study, we evaluated the interaction between the polymorphisms in genes encoding enzymes of folate metabolism: methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), methionine synthesis reductase (MTR) with the BC prognostic factors. ...
