In anticipation of the availability of next-generation sequencing data, there has been increasing interest in association analysis of rare variants (RVs). Owing to the extremely low frequency of a RV, single variant-based analysis and many existing tests developed for common variants may not be suit

In anticipation of the availability of next-generation sequencing data, there is increasing interest in investigating association between complex traits and rare variants (RVs). In contrast to association studies for common variants (CVs), due to the low frequencies of RVs, common wisdom suggests th
## Abstract Genomeโwide association studies succeeded in finding genetic variants associated with various phenotypes, but a large portion of the predicted genetic contribution to many traits remains unknown. One plausible explanation is that some missing variation is due to rare variants. Latest se
## Abstract Populationโbased caseโcontrol design has become one of the most popular approaches for conducting genomeโwide association scans for rare diseases like cancer. In this article, we propose a novel method for improving the power of the widely used singleโsingleโnucleotide polymorphism (SNP
