Abstract excerpt
We consider cross-sectional genetic association studies (common and rare variants) where non-genetic information is available or feasible to obtain for N individuals, but where it is infeasible to genotype all N individuals. We consider continuously measurable Gaussian traits (phenotypes). Genotyping n < N extreme phenotype individuals can yield better power to detect phenotype-genotype associations, as compared...
