Recent studies showed that population substructure (PS) can have more complex impact on rare variant tests and that similarity-based collapsing tests (e.g., SKAT) may suffer more severely by PS than burden-based tests. In this work, we evaluate the performance of SKAT coupling with principal components (PC) or variance components (VC) based PS correction methods. We consider confounding effects caused by PS...
