Abstract excerpt
It is increasingly recognized that pathway analyses-a joint test of association between the outcome and a group of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within a biological pathway-could potentially complement single-SNP analysis and provide additional insights for the genetic architecture of complex diseases. Building upon existing P-value combining methods, we propose a class of highly flexible pathway...
