Meta-analysis of SNP-environment interaction with heterogeneity for overlapping data

Abstract Meta-analysis is a popular method used in genome-wide association studies, by which the results of multiple studies are combined to identify associations. This process generates heterogeneity. Recently, we proposed a random effect model meta-regression method (MR) to study the effect of sin...
