Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In the analysis of complex traits such as fasting plasma glucose levels, researchers often adjust the trait for some important covariates before assessing gene susceptibility, and may at times encounter confounding among the covariates and the susceptible genes. Previously, the tree-based method has been employed to accommodate the heterogeneity in complex traits. In this study, we performed a...
