RVFam: an R package for rare variant association analysis with family data.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England) - 15 Feb 2016

Chen Ming-Huei, Yang Qiong

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Family-based designs offer unique advantage for identifying rare risk variants in genetic association studies. There are existing tools for analyzing rare variants in families but lacking components to handle binary traits properly and survival traits. In this report, we introduce an R software package RVFam (Rare Variant association analysis with Family data) designed to analyze continuous, binary...
