randompat – Detect Disease-associated Genotype Patterns.

randompat

:: DESCRIPTION

randompat is a software of detecting disease-causing single-locus effects and gene-gene interactions. The method is based on finding differences of genotype pattern frequencies between case and control individuals. Those single-nucleotide polymorphism markers with largest single-locus association test statistics are included in a pattern. For a logistic regression model comprising three disease variants exerting main and epistatic interaction effects, we demonstrate that the method is vastly superior to the traditional approach of looking for single-locus effects. In addition, the method is suitable for estimating the number of disease variants in a dataset. We successfully apply our approach to data on Parkinson Disease and heroin addiction.
