Increasing Generality and Power of Rare-Variant Tests by Utilizing Extended Pedigrees.

Abstract excerpt

Recently, multiple studies have performed whole-exome or whole-genome sequencing to identify groups of rare variants associated with complex traits and diseases. They have primarily utilized case-control study designs that often require thousands of individuals to reach acceptable statistical power. Family-based studies can be more powerful because a rare variant can be enriched in an extended pedigree and...
