Use of principal components to aggregate rare variants in case-control and family-based association studies in the presence of multiple covariates

Rare variants may help to explain some of the missing heritability of complex diseases. Technological advances in next-generation sequencing give us the opportunity to test this hypothesis. We propose two new methods (one for case-control studies and one for family-based studies) that combine aggreg...
