Gene-gene interactions (G×G) are important to study because of their extensiveness in biological systems and their potential in explaining missing heritability of complex traits. In this work, we propose a new similarity-based test to assess G×G at the gene level, which permits the study of epistasis at biologically functional units with amplified interaction signals.
