Abstract excerpt
For unrelated samples, principal component (PC) analysis has been established as a simple and effective approach to adjusting for population stratification in association analysis of common variants (CVs, with minor allele frequencies MAF > 5%). However, it is less clear how it would perform in analysis of low-frequency variants (LFVs, MAF between 1% and 5%), or of rare variants (RVs, MAF < 5%). Furthermore, with...
