Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We propose new statistical methods for analyzing genetic case/control association data in which cases can be further classified into subtypes, for example, based on clinical features. The primary utility of our work is the ability to distinguish between subtype-specific and modifier effects of genetic variants within a single testing framework. METHODS: A range of disease/subtype causal models are...
