To understand the pathophysiology of complex diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, and autism, deleterious phenotypes are unlikely due to the effects of single genes, but rather, gene-gene interactions (GGIs), which are widely analyzed by multi...

Epistasis learning, which is aimed at detecting associations between multiple Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and complex diseases, has gained increasing attention in genome wide association studies. Although much work has been done on mapping...
The manifestation of complex traits is influenced by gene-gene and gene-environment interactions, and the identification of multifactor interactions is an important but challenging undertaking for genetic studies. Many complex phenotypes such as dise...
BACKGROUND: Quantitative traits or continuous outcomes related to complex diseases can provide more information and therefore more accurate analysis for identifying gene-gene and gene- environment interactions associated with complex diseases. Multif...

Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) are used to identify statistically significant genetic variants in case-control studies. The main objective is to find single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that influence a particular phenotype (i.e., disease ...
The identification of disease-related genes and disease mechanisms is an important research goal; many studies have approached this problem by analysing genetic networks based on gene expression profiles and interaction datasets. To construct a gene ...

Detecting gene-gene interactions in single-nucleotide polymorphism data is vital for understanding disease susceptibility. However, existing approaches may be limited by the sample size in case-control studies. Herein, we propose a balance approach f...
In view of high mortality associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), development of an early predicting tool will be beneficial in reducing the burden of the disease. The database comprising demographic, conventional, folate/xenobiotic genetic ri...
BACKGROUND: Gene-gene interactions (GGIs) are a known cause of missing heritability. Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) is one of most commonly used methods for GGI detection. The generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) method...
Understanding genetic mechanism of complex diseases is a serious challenge. Existing methods often neglect the heterogeneity phenomenon of complex diseases, resulting in lack of power or low reproducibility. Addressing heterogeneity when detecting ep...
