The equation illustrated in this slide is used to test for an interaction assuming that the joint effects of the genetic and environmental risk factors are additive. Based on the data from slide 11, the OR for the interaction is 0. Therefore, there is no statistical gene-environment interaction. Rather the effects of genes and the environment are additive.
