On the use of variance per genotype as a tool to identify quantitative trait interaction effects: a report from the Women's Genome Health Study.
Testing for genetic effects on mean values of a quantitative trait has been a very successful strategy. However, most studies to date have not explored genetic effects on the variance of quantitative traits as a relevant consequence of genetic variation. In this report, we demonstrate that, under pl...
