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

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 ).
Here the pair did not quite reach significance, but its p-value remained relatively low.
