Association detection between multiple traits and rare variants based on family data via a nonparametric method.

Abstract excerpt

Background: The rapid development of next-generation sequencing technologies allow people to analyze human complex diseases at the molecular level. It has been shown that rare variants play important roles for human diseases besides common variants. Thus, effective statistical methods need to be proposed to test for the associations between traits (e.g., diseases) and rare variants. Currently, more and more rare...
