Abstract excerpt
In biobank data analysis, most binary phenotypes have unbalanced case-control ratios, and this can cause inflation of type I error rates. Recently, a saddle point approximation (SPA) based single-variant test has been developed to provide an accurate and scalable method to test for associations of such phenotypes. For gene- or region-based multiple-variant tests, a few methods exist that can adjust for unbalanced...
