Validated context-dependent associations of coronary heart disease risk with genotype variation

An absolutely fabulous paper from Charlie Sing and Andy Clark on the context-dependent effects of GWAS hits. A must read for anyone that believes, as I do, that the assumption of simplicity of genetic architecture is not realistic for most biological traits in humans. I have included below a paper for the PRIM method they used. Also worth a read.
