A newly developed modem analytic approach, Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS), was used to identify both genetic and non-genetic factors involved in the etiology of a common disease. We tested this method on the simulated data provided by the Genetic Analysis Workshop (GAW) 12 in problem 2 for the isolated population. MARS simultaneously analyzes all inputs, in this case DNA sequence variants and non-genetic data, and selectively prunes away variables contributing insignificantly to fit by internal cross-validation to arrive at a generalizable predictive model of the response. The relevant factors identified, by means of an importance value computed by M-ARS, were assumed to be associated with risk to the disease. The application of a series of subsequent models identified the quantitative traits and a single major gene contributing directly to risk liability using five sets of 7,000 individuals.
