Gene-based genetic association test with adaptive optimal weights.

Abstract excerpt

It is well known that using proper weights for genetic variants is crucial in enhancing the power of gene- or pathway-based association tests. To increase the power, we propose a general approach that adaptively selects weights among a class of weight families and apply it to the popular sequencing kernel association test. Through comprehensive simulation studies, we demonstrate that the proposed method can...
