    That’s not how interaction statistics work.

    I don’t claim to be an expert on genetics.

    But there are experts out there researching these things.

    How different genes interact and change risk. How different genes interact with specific environment or exposures and create risk.

    There are scientific methods that are used to determine these things.

    But it’s not so easy to put out a single number that represents risk because of these complex interactions.

    The statistics are harder to understand, but when they are simplified they are less accurate/true.
