Detecting rare variants.

Abstract excerpt

The limitations of genome-wide association (GWA) studies that are based on the common disease common variants (CDCV) hypothesis have motivated geneticists to test the hypothesis that rare variants contribute to the variation of common diseases, i.e., common disease/rare variants (CDRV). The newly developed high-throughput sequencing technologies have made the studies of rare variants practicable. Statistical...
