Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The existing methods for identifying multiple rare variants underlying complex diseases in family samples are underpowered. Therefore, we aim to develop a new set-based method for an association study of dichotomous traits in family samples. METHODS: We introduce a framework for testing the association of genetic variants with diseases in family samples based on a generalized linear mixed model. Our...
