Rare variant association on unrelated individuals in case-control studies using aggregation tests: existing methods and current limitations.

Abstract excerpt

Over the past years, progress made in next-generation sequencing technologies and bioinformatics have sparked a surge in association studies. Especially, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have demonstrated their effectiveness in identifying disease associations with common genetic variants. Yet, rare variants can contribute to additional disease risk or trait heterogeneity. Because GWASs are underpowered...
