Detecting association of rare and common variants by adaptive combination of P-values.

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) can detect common variants associated with diseases. Next generation sequencing technology has made it possible to detect rare variants. Most of association tests, including burden tests and nonburden tests, mainly target rare variants by upweighting rare variant effects and downweighting common variant effects. But there is increasing evidence that complex diseases are...
