Reexamining Dis/Similarity-Based Tests for Rare-Variant Association with Case-Control Samples

GENETICS, 209(1), 105–113.

By: C. Wang *, J. Tzeng n, P. Wu *, M. Preisig * & C. Hsiao *

author keywords: cross-sample comparison; within-sample comparison; U-statistics
MeSH headings : Algorithms; Case-Control Studies; Computer Simulation; Genetic Association Studies / methods; Genetic Variation; Humans; Models, Genetic; Models, Statistical; Phenotype; Sample Size
TL;DR: This work shows that for rare variants, comparison based on the two within-group measures can more effectively quantify the genetic difference between cases and controls, and proposes a dissimilarity test that compares the degree of SNP Dissimilarity within cases to that within controls to better characterize the difference between two disease phenotypes.
