A robust model-free approach for rare variants association studies incorporating gene-gene and gene-environmental interactions.

Abstract excerpt

Recently more and more evidence suggest that rare variants with much lower minor allele frequencies play significant roles in disease etiology. Advances in next-generation sequencing technologies will lead to many more rare variants association studies. Several statistical methods have been proposed to assess the effect of rare variants by aggregating information from multiple loci across a genetic region and...
