On rare variants in principal component analysis of population stratification.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Population stratification is a known confounder of genome-wide association studies, as it can lead to false positive results. Principal component analysis (PCA) method is widely applied in the analysis of population structure with common variants. However, it is still unclear about the analysis performance when rare variants are used. RESULTS: We derive a mathematical expectation of the genetic...
