Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have confirmed the ubiquitous existence of genetic heterogeneity for common disease: multiple common genetic variants have been identified to be associated, while many more are yet expected to be uncovered. However, the single SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) based trend test (or its variants) that has been dominantly used in GWAS is based on contrasting the allele...
