Abstract excerpt
In genome-wide association studies (GWAS), it has become commonplace to test millions of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for phenotypic association. Gene-based testing can improve power to detect weak signal by reducing multiple testing and pooling signal strength. While such tests account for linkage disequilibrium (LD) structure of SNP alleles within each gene, current approaches do not capture LD of...
