| Most common human diseases have a multifactorial etiology involving a complex interplay of genetic and environmental exposures. Understanding how genetic and environmental exposures interact and jointly influence the risk of a complex disease can be important for both biological and public health purposes. We will present the state of the art of efficient design and analysis for studies of gene-environment interaction by statisticians, epidemiologists, and geneticists. Topics covered will include population- and family-based case-control designs, stratified sampling designs, modern semiparametric methods for analysis of case-control data, estimation of haplotype-environment interactions, and flexible modeling approaches to empirical Bayes methods. We will blend theory and applications with illustrations using real examples and software implementation. | ||
