Availability of genomic sequence data provides opportunities to study the role of low-frequency and rare variants in the etiology of complex disease. In this study, we conduct association analyses of hypertension status in the cohort of 1943 unrelated Mexican Americans provided by Genetic Analysis Workshop 19, focusing on exonic variants in on chromosome 3. Our primary interest is to compare the performance of standard and sparse-data approaches for single-variant tests and variant-collapsing tests for sets of rare and low-frequency variants. We analyze both the real and the simulated phenotypes.
基因组序列数据的可获得性为研究低频和罕见变异在复杂疾病病因学中的作用提供了机会。在本研究中,我们对遗传分析研讨会19提供的1943名无亲缘关系的墨西哥裔美国人队列中的高血压状况进行了关联分析,重点关注3号染色体上的外显子变异。我们主要感兴趣的是比较单变异检测的标准方法和稀疏数据方法以及罕见和低频变异集的变异合并检测的性能。我们分析了真实和模拟的表型。
