An optimal kernel-based multivariate U-statistic to test for associations with multiple phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Set-based analysis that jointly considers multiple predictors in a group has been broadly conducted for association tests. However, their power can be sensitive to the distribution of phenotypes, and the underlying relationships between predictors and outcomes. Moreover, most of the set-based methods are designed for single-trait analysis, making it hard to explore the pleiotropic effect and borrow information...
