The FUSION p-value was higher in this case, but remained borderline significant (p=0.155562).

marginally significantno p-value reported
Computational approaches include methods such as ReliefF and its derivatives, 8 – 10 MDR, 11 and “greedy” approaches which first identify SNPs with main effects (significant or marginally significant) in a GWAS and then use models involving only these SNPs. 12 – 13 The latter is certainly a reasonable approach; however it will miss potential interactions which involve SNPs with no main effects (i.e. it will miss what is referred to as ‘pure and strict epistasis’ 14 ).
