Trans-ethnic meta-analysis of rare variants in sequencing association studies.

Abstract excerpt

Trans-ethnic meta-analysis is a powerful tool for detecting novel loci in genetic association studies. However, in the presence of heterogeneity among different populations, existing gene-/region-based rare variants meta-analysis methods may be unsatisfactory because they do not consider genetic similarity or dissimilarity among different populations. In response, we propose a score test under the modified random...
