Testing rare variants for association with diseases: a Bayesian marker selection approach.

Abstract excerpt

It has been a research focus to uncover the genetic determination of complex diseases caused by rare variants. As the vast majority of genomic variants represent background variation, highlighting potentially causal mutations through a weighting scheme is critical to the success of association studies aimed at identifying rare variants. In this study, we propose a novel Bayesian marker selection approach to...
