Identifying interesting SNP interactions with logicFS
نویسنده
چکیده
This package contains functions that use logic regression as a wrapper to identify interesting combinations of binary variables and to measure the importance of these interactions. A description of the used methods is given in Schwender and Ickstadt (2006). Even though the intended purpose of this package is the identification of SNP interactions, it can also be applied to other types of binary (or categorical) data.

Identifying gene-gene interactions or gene-environment interactions in studies of human complex diseases remains a big challenge in genetic epidemiology. An additional challenge, often forgotten, is to account for important lower-order genetic effects. These may hamper the identification of genuine epistasis. If lower-order genetic effects contribute to the genetic variance of a trait, identifi...

EVALUATION OF METHODS FOR ANALYZING GENE-GENE INTERACTION DATA FOR SURVIVAL OUTCOMES lie Zhang May 12,2011 In recent years, a number of computational and statistical problems for identifying SNP-SNP interactions in high dimensional survival data have been studied, and several data mining approaches have been proposed. However, the relative performance of these methods to detect SNP-SNP interact...
متن کاملSNP-SNP Interactions Discovered by Logic Regression Explain Crohn's Disease Genetics
In genome-wide association studies (GWAS), the association between each single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and a phenotype is assessed statistically. To further explore genetic associations in GWAS, we considered two specific forms of biologically plausible SNP-SNP interactions, 'SNP intersection' and 'SNP union,' and analyzed the Crohn's Disease (CD) GWAS data of the Wellcome Trust Case Cont...

Background: Attempts for early detection of gastric cancer have recently focused on host's genetic susceptibility factors and gene-environment interactions. We have, herein, studied the association of MTHFR C677T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and its interaction with Helicobacter pylori infection, smoking, age and gender on the risk of gastric cancer among an Iranian population. Methods:...
