Hierarchical Bayesian model for rare variant association analysis integrating genotype uncertainty in human sequence data.

Abstract excerpt

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has led to the study of rare genetic variants, which possibly explain the missing heritability for complex diseases. Most existing methods for rare variant (RV) association detection do not account for the common presence of sequencing errors in NGS data. The errors can largely affect the power and perturb the accuracy of association tests due to rare observations of minor...
