Among the myriad of statistical methods that identify gene–gene interactions in the realm of qualitative genome-wide association studies, gene-based interactions are not only powerful statistically, b
Background/Aims: In genetic studies of complex disease a consideration for the investigator is detection of joint effects. The Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (MDR) algorithm searches for these e
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been widely used in genetic association studies to identify both common and rare variants associated with complex diseases. Various statistical association tests h
