Neuroimaging genetics is an emerging field to identify the associations between genetic variants [e.g. single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)] and quantitative traits (QTs) such as brain imaging phenotypes. However, most of the current studies focus only on the associations between brain structure imaging and genetic variants, while neglecting the connectivity information between brain regions. In addition, the brain itself is a complex network, and the higher-order interaction may contain useful information for the mechanistic understanding of diseases [i.e. Alzheimers disease (AD)].
