Imputation of the rare HOXB13 G84E mutation and cancer risk in a large population-based cohort.

An efficient approach to characterizing the disease burden of rare genetic variants is to impute them into large well-phenotyped cohorts with existing genome-wide genotype data using large sequenced referenced panels. The success of this approach hinges on the accuracy of rare variant imputation, wh...
