Using extreme phenotype sampling to identify the rare causal variants of quantitative traits in association studies.

Abstract excerpt

Variants identified in recent genome-wide association studies based on the common-disease common-variant hypothesis are far from fully explaining the hereditability of complex traits. Rare variants may, in part, explain some of the missing hereditability. Here, we explored the advantage of the ex...
