This study introduces a novel statistical method to analyze complex genetic interactions and environmental factors in diseases. The approach improves understanding of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and lipid abnormalities.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Biostatistics
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Complex diseases arise from interactions between multiple genes and environmental factors.
  • Allelic phase (cis/trans) is crucial for haplotypic association studies but often unobservable in population-based studies.
  • Existing methods may not fully capture high-order genotype-phenotype associations or account for phase uncertainty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a statistical framework for assessing high-order genotype-phenotype associations.
  • To account for uncertainty in allelic phase in population-based association studies.
  • To investigate gene-environment and gene-gene interactions in complex diseases.

Main Methods:

  • A combination of mixed modeling and multiple imputation was proposed.

  • The method allows for controlling potential confounders.
  • It is applicable to studies of unrelated individuals with unobservable haplotypic phase.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method was applied to a cohort of 626 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) subjects.
    • It assessed the contribution of four genes (apolipoprotein-C-III, apolipoprotein-E, endothelial lipase, hepatic lipase) to lipid abnormalities.
    • A simulation study demonstrated the method's performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed statistical approach offers a flexible framework for complex genetic analyses.
    • It enhances the ability to study gene-environment and gene-gene interactions in the presence of phase uncertainty.
    • This method can improve our understanding of the genetic architecture of complex diseases like HIV-related lipid abnormalities.
