Block-based association tests for rare variants using Kullback-Leibler divergence.

Abstract excerpt

Although genome-wide association studies have successfully detected numerous associations between common variants and complex diseases, these variants typically can only explain a small part of the heritable component of a disease. With the advent of next-generation sequencing, attention has turned to rare variants. Recently, a variety of approaches for detecting associations of rare variants have been proposed,...
