ARIEL and AMELIA: testing for an accumulation of rare variants using next-generation sequencing data.

OBJECTIVES: There is increasing evidence that rare variants play a role in some complex traits, but their analysis is not straightforward. Locus-based tests become necessary due to low power in rare variant single-point association analyses. In addition, variant quality scores are available for sequ...
