A method for identifying genetic heterogeneity within phenotypically-defined disease subgroups

2016-01-22

Abstract excerpt

Many common diseases show wide phenotypic variation. We present a statistical method for determining whether phenotypically defined subgroups of disease cases represent different genetic architectures, in which disease-associated variants have different effect sizes in the two subgroups. Our method models the genome-wide distributions of genetic association statistics with mixture Gaussians. We apply a global test...
