The power of gene-based rare variant methods to detect disease-associated variation and test hypotheses about complex disease.

The power of gene-based rare variant methods to detect disease-associated variation and test hypotheses about complex disease.

Genome and exome sequencing in large cohorts enables characterization of the role of rare variation in complex diseases. Success in this endeavor, however, requires investigators to test a diverse array of genetic hypotheses which differ in the number, frequency and effect sizes of underlying causal...
