Abstract excerpt
Univariate analysis of markers has modest power when there are multiple causal variants within a gene. Under this scenario, combining the effects of all variants from a gene in a gene-wide statistic is thought to increase power. However, it is not really clear (1) what is the performance of most commonly used gene-wide methods for whole genome scans and (2) how scalable these methods are for more computationally...
