Gene-based rare variant analyses often lack statistical power and may overlook transcript-specific effects. Here, we present a transcript-aware aggregation framework. In simulation studies, the framework maintains appropriate false-positive rates and shows competitive power relative to standard single-transcript analyses, approaching the performance of the ideal case of knowing the most informative transcript in...
