Proteins play important roles in living organisms, and their function is directly linked with their structure. Due to the growing gap between the number of proteins being discovered and their functional characterization (in particular as a result of ...
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...
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...
Studies on multilocus interactions have mainly investigated the associations between genetic variations from the related genes and histopathological tumor characteristics in patients. However, currently, the identification and characterization of sus...

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...
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have become a very effective research tool to identify genetic variants of underlying various complex diseases. In spite of the success of GWAS in identifying thousands of reproducible associations between genet...
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...
Epistasis within disease-related genes (gene-gene interactions) was determined through contingency table measures based on multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) using single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Most MDR-based methods use the single ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We introduce the R-package GenomicTools to perform, among others, a Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (MDR) for the identification of SNP-SNP interactions. The package further provides a new class of tests for an (explor...
