Detecting associations of rare variants with common diseases: collapsing or haplotyping?

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, a myriad of new statistical methods have been proposed for detecting associations of rare single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) with common diseases. These methods can be generally classified as 'collapsing' or 'haplotyping' based. The former is the predominant class, composed of most of the rare variant association methods proposed to date. However, recent works have suggested that haplotyping-based...
