Boosting signals in gene-based association studies via efficient SNP selection.

Abstract excerpt

Set-based association studies based on genes or pathways have shown great promise in interpreting association signals associated with complex diseases. These approaches are particularly useful when variants in a set have moderate effects and are difficult to be detected with single marker analysis, especially when variants function jointly in a complicated manner. The set-based analyses use a summary statistic...
