Rare variant association analysis in case-parents studies by allowing for missing parental genotypes

Abstract Background The development of next-generation sequencing technologies has facilitated the identification of rare variants. Family-based design is commonly used to effectively control for population admixture and substructure, which is more prominent for rare variants. Case-parents studies,...
