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.
