The challenges of genome-wide interaction studies: lessons to learn from the analysis of HDL blood levels.

The challenges of genome-wide interaction studies: lessons to learn from the analysis of HDL blood levels.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed 74 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) blood levels. This study is, to our knowledge, the first genome-wide interaction study (GWIS) to identify SNP×SNP interactions associated with HDL...
