A powerful approach to test an optimally weighted combination of rare variants in admixed populations.

Abstract excerpt

Population stratification has long been recognized as an issue in genetic association studies because unrecognized population stratification can lead to both false-positive and false-negative findings and can obscure true association signals if not appropriately corrected. This issue can be even worse in rare variant association analyses because rare variants often demonstrate stronger and potentially different...
