A method for identifying genetic heterogeneity within phenotypically defined disease subgroups

Many common diseases show wide phenotypic variation. We present a statistical method for determining whether phenotypically defined subgroups of disease cases represent different genetic architectures, in which disease-associated variants have different effect sizes in two subgroups. Our method mode...
