Power of family-based association designs to detect rare variants in large pedigrees using imputed genotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Recently, the "Common Disease-Multiple Rare Variants" hypothesis has received much attention, especially with current availability of next-generation sequencing. Family-based designs are well suited for discovery of rare variants, with large and carefully selected pedigrees enriching for multiple copies of such variants. However, sequencing a large number of samples is still prohibitive. Here, we evaluate a...
