These studies suggest that gene-environment interactions can be studied and modeled using hierarchical mixture models, Bayesian models, deep learning approaches, semiparametric regression, variance components twin analyses, and neural networks, each offering unique advantages in capturing complex interactions and improving disease risk prediction.
Gene-environment interactions (GxE) are critical in understanding the etiology of complex diseases. These interactions describe how genetic and environmental factors jointly influence disease risk. Studying and modeling these interactions is challenging due to the complexity and high dimensionality of the data involved. Various statistical and computational methods have been developed to address these challenges.
