A method for analyzing multiple continuous phenotypes in rare variant association studies allowing for flexible correlations in variant effects
For region-based sequencing data, power to detect genetic associations can be improved through analysis of multiple related phenotypes. With this motivation, we propose a novel test to detect association simultaneously between a set of rare variants, such as those obtained by sequencing in a small g...
