Testing rare variants for hypertension using family-based tests with different weighting schemes (open access)

Testing rare variants for hypertension using family-based tests with different weighting schemes

This paper proposes 4 weighting schemes for the family-based rare variants test (FBAT-v) to test for the effects of both rare and common variants across the genome.

A novel statistical method for rare-variant association studies in general pedigrees (open access)

A novel statistical method for rare-variant association studies in general pedigrees

In this paper, the authors discuss a novel statistical method for rare-variant association studies in general pedigrees for quantitative traits. This method uses a retrospective view that treats the traits as fixed and the genotypes as random, which accounts for complex and undefined ascertainment of families.
