Abstract:
We propose a variety of methods based on the generalized estimation equations to address the issues encountered in haplotype-based pharmacogenetic analysis, including analysis of longitudinal data with outcome-dependent dropouts, and evaluation of the high-dimensional haplotype and haplotype-drug interaction effects in an overall manner. We use the inverse probability weights to handle the outcome-dependent dropouts under the missing-at-random assumption, and incorporate the weighted L(1) penalty to select important main and interaction effects with high dimensionality. The proposed methods are easy to implement, computationally efficient, and provide an optimal balance between false positives and false negatives in detecting genetic effects.
