A scan statistic to extract causal gene clusters from case-control genome-wide rare CNV data.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Several statistical tests have been developed for analyzing genome-wide association data by incorporating gene pathway information in terms of gene sets. Using these methods, hundreds of gene sets are typically tested, and the tested gene sets often overlap. This overlapping greatly increases the probability of generating false positives, and the results obtained are difficult to interpret,...
