The results of this study support three ideas which we believe are important for future studies. First, this approach identified several variants that have minimal evidence of association when tested individually, but which have larger effects when examined in combination with other genetic predictors. Second, requiring a significant interaction term in logistic regression testing may not detect variants that jointly explain more of the variance. Finally, increases in explained variance can be obtained by including only a small number of interactions.
