Many complex diseases are known to be affected by the interactions between genetic variants and environmental exposures beyond the main genetic and environmental effects. Study of gene-environment (G$\times$E) interactions is important for…
Gene-environment interactions have important implications to elucidate the genetic basis of complex diseases beyond the joint function of multiple genetic factors and their interactions (or epistasis). In the past, G$\times$E interactions…
Interactions between genes and environmental factors may play a key role in the etiology of many common disorders. Several regularized generalized linear models (GLMs) have been proposed for hierarchical selection of gene by environment…
Genetic variants identified to date by genome-wide association studies only explain a small fraction of total heritability. Gene-by-gene interaction is one important potential source of unexplained heritability. In the first part of this…
Gene-environment (G$\times$E) interactions have important implications to elucidate the etiology of complex diseases beyond the main genetic and environmental effects. Outliers and data contamination in disease phenotypes of G$\times$E…
For complex diseases, beyond the main effects of genetic (G) and environmental (E) factors, gene-environment (G-E) interactions also play an important role. Many of the existing G-E interaction methods conduct marginal analysis, which may…
The two-phase sampling design is a cost-efficient way of collecting expensive covariate information on a judiciously selected subsample. It is natural to apply such a strategy for collecting genetic data in a subsample enriched for exposure…
Quantitative genetic studies that model complex, multivariate phenotypes are important for both evolutionary prediction and artificial selection. For example, changes in gene expression can provide insight into developmental and…
Motivation: Recent advances in technology for brain imaging and high-throughput genotyping have motivated studies examining the influence of genetic variation on brain structure. Wang et al. (Bioinformatics, 2012) have developed an approach…
In high-throughput genetics studies, an important aim is to identify gene-environment interactions associated with the clinical outcomes. Recently, multiple marginal penalization methods have been developed and shown to be effective in…
Studies involving both randomized experiments as well as observational data typically involve time-to-event outcomes such as time-to-failure, death or onset of an adverse condition. Such outcomes are typically subject to censoring due to…
For survival data with high-dimensional covariates, results generated in the analysis of a single dataset are often unsatisfactory because of the small sample size. Integrative analysis pools raw data from multiple independent studies with…
This work is motivated by analyses of longitudinal data collected from participants in the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development (QLSCD) and the Quebec Newborn Twin Study (QNTS) to identify important genetic predictors for…
For data with high-dimensional covariates but small to moderate sample sizes, the analysis of single datasets often generates unsatisfactory results. The integrative analysis of multiple independent datasets provides an effective way of…
In this paper, we consider the partially linear single-index models with longitudinal data. To deal with the variable selection problem in this context, we propose a penalized procedure combined with two bias correction methods, resulting…
Rooted in genetics, human complex diseases are largely influenced by environmental factors. Existing literature has shown the power of integrative gene-environment interaction analysis by considering the joint effect of environmental…
For the etiology, progression, and treatment of complex diseases, gene-environment (G-E) interactions have important implications beyond the main G and E effects. G-E interaction analysis can be more challenging with the higher…
Simultaneous analysis of gene expression data and genetic variants is highly of interest, especially when the number of gene expressions and genetic variants are both greater than the sample size. Association of both causal genes and…
Recent technological advances have made it possible to collect high-dimensional genomic data along with clinical data on a large number of subjects. In the studies of chronic diseases such as cancer, it is of great interest to integrate…
In genetic studies, not only can the number of predictors obtained from microarray measurements be extremely large, there can also be multiple response variables. Motivated by such a situation, we consider semiparametric dimension reduction…
