Variable-length haplotype construction for geneߝgene interaction studies

Abstract

Genetic epidemiology is a research field that aims to identify genetic polymorphisms that are involved in disease susceptibility. In this article, a variable-length haplotype construction for gene-gene interaction (VarHAP) technique is proposed. The technique will involve nonparametric classification where haplotypes inferred from multiple single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data are the classifier inputs.
