Abstract excerpt
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) studies in large biobanks provide an unprecedented opportunity to study the rare-variant (RV) effects on the natural history of human diseases by analyzing censored time-to-event (TTE) phenotypes, such as age at disease diagnosis, disease progression, and lifespan. Unlike existing methods developed for continuous and categorical phenotypes, rare-variant association tests (RVATs) for...
