Simple F Test Reveals Gene-Gene Interactions in Case-Control Studies
Missing heritability is still a challenge for Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS). Gene-gene interactions may partially explain this residual genetic influence and contribute broadly to complex disease. To analyze the gene-gene interactions in case-control studies of complex disease, we propose a simple, non-parametric method that utilizes the F-statistic. This approach consists of three ste...
متن کاملFlexible matching in case-control studies of gene-environment interactions.
Because of the lack of power of case-control study designs to detect gene-environment interactions, flexible matching has recently been proposed as a method of improving efficiency. In this paper, the authors consider a large-sample approximation method that allows estimation of the most efficient matching strategy when genotype and exposure are either independent or associated. The authors pro...
متن کاملBOOST: A fast approach to detecting gene-gene interactions in genome-wide case-control studies
Gene-gene interactions have long been recognized to be fundamentally important for understanding genetic causes of complex disease traits. At present, identifying gene-gene interactions from genome-wide case-control studies is computationally and methodologically challenging. In this paper, we introduce a simple but powerful method, named "BOolean Operation-based Screening and Testing" (BOOST)....
متن کاملGBOOST: a GPU-based tool for detecting gene-gene interactions in genome-wide case control studies
MOTIVATION Collecting millions of genetic variations is feasible with the advanced genotyping technology. With a huge amount of genetic variations data in hand, developing efficient algorithms to carry out the gene-gene interaction analysis in a timely manner has become one of the key problems in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Boolean operation-based screening and testing (BOOST), a re...
متن کاملAllelic based gene-gene interaction in case-control studies.
In case-control studies identifying disease susceptibility loci, it has been shown that the interaction caused by multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within a gene as well as by SNPs at unlinked genes plays an important role in influencing risk of a disease. A novel statistical approach is proposed to detect gene-gene interactions at the allelic level contributing to a disease trait...
