Pathway Polygenic Risk Scores (pPRS) for the Analysis of Gene-environment Interaction

WJ Gauderman, Y Fu, B Quem, E Kawaguchi, Y Wang… - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
A polygenic risk score (PRS) is used to quantify the combined disease risk of many genetic
variants. For complex human traits there is interest in determining whether the PRS modifies …

Two-Stage Testing in a high dimensional setting

MA Jonker, L van Schijndel, E Cator - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.17466, 2024 - arxiv.org
In a high dimensional regression setting in which the number of variables ($ p $) is much

[HTML][HTML] A note on p-value multiple-testing adjustment for two-step genome-wide gene-environment interactions scans

JP Lewinger, ES Kawaguchi, WJ Gauderman - medRxiv, 2023 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Two-step testing is the state-of-the art approach for performing genome-wide interaction
scans (GWIS). It is computationally efficient and yields higher power than standard single …
