Searching for missing heritability: Designing rare variant association studies
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Discovering the genetic basis of common diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and schizophrenia, is a key goal in biomedicine. Genomic studies have revealed thousands of common genetic variants underlying disease, but these variants explain only a portion of the heritability. Rare variants are also likely to play an important role, but few examples are known thus far, and initial discovery efforts with small sample sizes have had only limited success. In this paper, we describe an analytical framework for the design of rare variant association studies of disease. It provides guidance with respect to sample size, as well as the roles of selection, disruptive and missense alleles, gene-specific allele frequency thresholds, isolated populations, gene sets, and coding vs. noncoding regions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
