Epistasis has recently emerged as one of the intrinsic mechanisms that could explain part of this missing heritability. We conducted epistasis analysis for genome-wide body mass index (BMI) associated SNPs in Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and followed up top significant interacting SNPs for replication in the UK Biobank imputed genotype dataset. We report two pairwise epistatic interactions, between rs2177596 (<jats:italic>RHBDD1<\/jats:italic>) and rs17759796 (<jats:italic>MAPK1<\/jats:italic>), rs1121980 (<jats:italic>FTO<\/jats:italic>) and rs6567160 (<jats:italic>MC4R<\/jats:italic>), obtained from a consensus of nine different epistatic approaches. Gene interaction maps and tissue expression profiles constructed for these interacting loci highlights co-expression, co-localisation, physical interaction, genetic interaction, and shared pathways emphasising the neuronal influence in obesity and implicating concerted expression of associated genes in liver, pancreas, and adipose tissues insinuating to metabolic abnormalities characterized by obesity. Detecting epistasis could thus be a promising approach to understand the effect of simultaneously interacting multiple genetic loci in disease aetiology, beyond single locus effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-022-11270-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,4]],"date-time":"2022-05-04T18:05:10Z","timestamp":1651687510000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Concurrent outcomes from multiple approaches of epistasis analysis for human body mass index associated loci provide insights into obesity biology"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Sheldon","family":"D\u2019Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shreya","family":"Chakraborty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bratati","family":"Kahali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"11270_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"5","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajhg.2017.06.005","volume":"101","author":"PM Visscher","year":"2017","unstructured":"Visscher, P.
