Bias in parameter estimates due to omitting gene-environment interaction terms in case-control studies.

abstract：:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with complex traits. However, the genetic heritability of most of these traits remains unexplained. To help guide future studies, we address the crucial question of whether future GWAS can detect new SNP assoc...
