In gene-gene interaction (epistasis) analysis we commonly use the co-dominant models for both the SNPs that are tested for interaction. For example in R, we can do by constructing GLM...

I have two SNPs - one on Chr-11 and another on Chr-15 - for which I have to see the epistatic effect on a phenotype. I know it makes no sense to see the epistasis for two SNPs that are close...
