New visualization methods, k-way interaction information (KWII) and total correlation information (TCI), effectively detect gene-environment interactions (GEIs). These metrics offer insights into complex genetic and environmental factors influencing diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Biostatistics

Background:

  • Gene-environment interactions (GEIs) are crucial for understanding complex diseases.
  • Existing methods for GEI visualization and interpretation have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and assess novel heuristics for visualizing and interpreting GEIs.
  • To evaluate information-theoretic metrics, k-way interaction information (KWII) and total correlation information (TCI), for GEI detection.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated KWII and TCI metrics using simulated datasets and a Crohn disease dataset.
  • Assessed the sensitivity of KWII and TCI spectra to biological and study-design factors.
  • Performed head-to-head comparisons with relevance-chain, multifactor dimensionality reduction, and PDT methods.

Main Results:

  • KWII and TCI spectra successfully detected known GEIs in simulated data.
  • Spectra patterns provided insights into factors like case-control misassignment and allele frequencies.
  • Demonstrated excellent sensitivity in identifying disease-associated genetic variations in the Crohn disease dataset.

Conclusions:

  • KWII and TCI are promising metrics for visualizing GEIs.
  • These methods can detect interactions among multiple genetic and environmental variables.
  • Visual interpretation of KWII and TCI spectra performed satisfactorily compared to existing methods.
