Abstract excerpt
Multiple methods have been proposed to aggregate genetic variants in a gene or a region and jointly test their association with a trait of interest. However, these joint tests do not provide estimates of the individual effect of each variant. Moreover, few methods have evaluated the joint association of multiple variants with DNA methylation. We propose a method based on linear mixed models to estimate the joint...
