The effect of phenotypic outliers and non-normality on rare-variant association testing.

Abstract excerpt

Rare-variant association studies (RVAS) have made important contributions to human complex trait genetics. These studies rely on specialized statistical methods for analyzing rare-variant associations, both individually and in aggregate. We investigated the impact that phenotypic outliers and non-normality have on the performance of rare-variant association testing procedures. Ignoring outliers or non-normality...
