Kernel-machine testing coupled with a rank-truncation method for genetic pathway analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Traditional genome-wide association studies (GWASs) usually focus on single-marker analysis, which only accesses marginal effects. Pathway analysis, on the other hand, considers biological pathway gene marker hierarchical structure and therefore provides additional insights into the genetic architecture underlining complex diseases. Recently, a number of methods for pathway analysis have been proposed to assess...
