Methodology for the analysis of rare genetic variation in genome-wide association and re-sequencing studies of complex human traits.

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies have been successful in identifying common variants that impact complex human traits and diseases. However, despite this success, the joint effects of these variants explain only a small proportion of the genetic variance in these phenotypes, leading to speculation that rare genetic variation might account for much of the 'missing heritability'. Consequently, there has been an...
