Gene-environment interaction testing in family-based association studies with phenotypically ascertained samples: a causal inference approach

Gene-environment interaction testing in family-based association studies with phenotypically ascertained samples: a causal inference approach

We propose a method for testing gene–environment (G × E) interactions on a complex trait in family-based studies in which a phenotypic ascertainment criterion has been imposed. This novel approach employs G-estimation, a semiparametric estimation technique from the causal inference literature, to avoid modeling of the association between the environmental …
