MIRAGE: A Bayesian statistical method for gene-level rare-variant analysis incorporating functional annotations.

Abstract excerpt

Rare-variant analysis is commonly used in whole-exome or genome sequencing studies. Compared to common variants, rare variants tend to have larger effect sizes and often directly point out causal genes. These potential benefits make association analysis with rare variants a priority for human genetics researchers. To improve the power of such studies, numerous methods have been developed to aggregate information...
