Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether accounting for gene-environment (G×E) interactions improves the power to detect associations between rare variants and a disease, we have extended three statistical methods and compared their power under various simulated disease models. METHODS: To test for association of a group of rare variants with a disease, Min-P uses the lowest p value within the group of variants, CAST...
