由于目前对人类疾病中基因如何与环境因素相互作用知之甚少,并且由于遗传和环境因素之间和内部存在大量可能的相互作用,因此很难模拟由多种相互作用的遗传和环境因素引起的疾病的样本。Amato及其同事最近在BMC Bioinformatics上发表的一篇文章描述了一个描述基因-环境相互作用的数学模型,以及一个使用生物学上有意义的输入来模拟它们的计算机程序。在这里,我评估了作者的方法在模拟复杂人类疾病中基因-环境相互作用的真实世界研究的遗传样本方面的有用性的优点和局限性。
Because little is currently known about how genes interact with environmental factors in human diseases, and because of the large number of possible interactions between and within genetic and environmental factors, it is difficult to simulate samples for a disease caused by multiple interacting genetic and environmental factors. A recent article by Amato and colleagues in BMC Bioinformatics describes a mathematical model to characterize gene-environment interactions and a computer program that simulates them using biologically meaningful inputs. Here, I evaluate the advantages and limitations of the authors' approach in terms of its usefulness for simulating genetic samples for real-world studies of gene-environment interactions in complex human diseases.
