Comparison of methods and sampling designs to test for association between rare variants and quantitative traits.

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies succeeded in finding genetic variants associated with various phenotypes, but a large portion of the predicted genetic contribution to many traits remains unknown. One plausible explanation is that some missing variation is due to rare variants. Latest sequencing technology facilitates the investigation of such rare variants, but their statistical analysis remains challenging. For...
