On the substructure controls in rare variant analysis: Principal components or variance components?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Genetic Epidemiology"
DOI: 10.1002/gepi.22102
Abstract: Recent studies showed that population substructure (PS) can have more complex impact on rare variant tests and that similarity‐based collapsing tests (e.g., SKAT) may suffer more severely by PS than burden‐based tests. In this work,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jas/skae234.032
Abstract: Copy number variations (CNVs) modify transcription levels mainly through changing genes and regulatory elements dosages. Hence, CNVs can contribute to the additive genetic variance of quantitative traits, which might not be fully captured by SNPs.… read more here.
