Pathway-based approach using hierarchical components of rare variants to analyze multiple phenotypes

Abstract Background As one possible solution to the “missing heritability” problem, many methods have been proposed that apply pathway-based analyses, using rare variants that are detected by next generation sequencing technology. However, while a number of methods for pathway-based rare-variant ana...
