We have used a multifactor dimensionality reduction(MDR) method to study the major gene interaction effect in general; however, without application of the MDR method in continuous data. In light of this, many methods have been suggested such as Expanded MDR, Dummy MDR and SVM MDR. In this paper, we compare the two methods of SVM MDR and D-MDR. In addition, we identify the gene-gene interaction effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) associated with economic traits in Hanwoo(Korean cattle). Lastly, we discuss a new method in consideration of the advantages that the other methods present.

We have used multifactor dimensionality reduction(MDR) method to study interaction effect of statistical model in general. But MDR method cannot be applied in all cases. It can be applied to the only case-control data. So, two methods are suggested E-MDR and D-MDR method using regression tree algorithm and dummy variables. We applied the methods on the identify interaction effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) responsible for longissimus mulcle dorsi area(LMA), carcass cold weight(CWT) and average daily gain(ADG) in a Hanwoo beef cattle population. Finally, we compare the results using permutation test.

Diseases of human or economical traits of cattles are occured by interaction of genes. We introduce expanded multifactor dimensionality reduction(E-MDR), dummy multifactor dimensionality reduction(D-MDR) and SNPHarvester which are developed to find interaction of genes. We will select interaction of outstanding gene combinations and select final best genotype groups.

It is important to detect the gene-gene interaction in GWAS (genome-wide association study). There have been many studies on detecting gene-gene interaction. The one is D-MDR (dummy multifoactor dimensionality reduction) method. The goal of this study is to evaluate the power of D-MDR for identifying gene-gene interaction by simulation. Also we applied the method on the identify interaction effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) responsible for economic traits in a Korean cattle population (real data).
