Model-specific tests on variance heterogeneity for detection of potentially interacting genetic loci

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Trait variances among genotype groups at a locus are expected to differ in the presence of an interaction between this locus and another locus or environment. A simple maximum test on variance heterogeneity can thus be used to identi...
