Abstract excerpt
Rare genetic variation is considered a potential source of heritability in individuals with sporadic Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD). The Variant-set test for association using annotation information (STAAR) framework leverages multiple functional annotations of genetic variants and combines association statistics from multiple variant aggregation-based methods, including burden, sequence kernel...
