    Title: Using genetic risk score approaches to infer whether an environmental factor attenuates or exacerbates the adverse influence of a candidate gene

    Abstract: Some candidate genes have been robustly reported to be associated with complex traits, such as the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene on body mass index (BMI), and the fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) gene on blood pressure levels. It is of interest to know whether an environmental factor (E) can attenuate or exacerbate the adverse influence of a candidate gene. To this end, we here evaluate the performance of “genetic risk score” (GRS) approaches to detect “gene-environment interactions” (G × E). In the first stage, a GRS is calculated according to the genotypes of variants in a candidate gene. In the second stage, we test whether E can significantly modify this GRS effect. This two-stage procedure can not only provide a p-value for a G × E test but also guide inferences on how E modifies the adverse effect of a gene. With systematic simulations, we compared several ways to construct a GRS. If E exacerbates the adverse influence of a gene, GRS formed by the elastic net (ENET) or the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) is recommended. However, the performance of ENET or LASSO will be compromised if E attenuates the adverse influence of a gene, and using the ridge regression (RIDGE) can be more powerful in this situation. Applying RIDGE to 18,424 subjects in the Taiwan Biobank, we showed that performing regular exercise can attenuate the adverse influence of the FTO gene on four obesity measures: BMI (p = 0.0009), body fat percentage (p = 0.0031), waist circumference (p = 0.0052), and hip circumference (p = 0.0001). As another example, we used RIDGE and found the FGF5 gene has a stronger effect on blood pressure in Han Chinese with a higher waist-to-hip ratio [p = 0.0013 for diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and p = 0.0027 for systolic blood pressure (SBP)]. This study provides an evaluation on the GRS approaches, which is important to infer whether E attenuates or exacerbates the adverse influence of a candidate gene.
