Recent advances in sequencing technologies have made it possible to explore the influence of rare variants on complex diseases and traits. Meta‐analysis is essential to this exploration because large sample sizes are required to detect rare variants. Several methods are available to conduct meta‐analysis for rare variants under fixed‐effects models, which assume that the genetic effects are the same...
By using functional data analysis techniques, we developed generalized functional linear models for testing association between a dichotomous trait and multiple genetic variants in a genetic region while adjusting for covariates. Both fixed and mixed effect models are developed and compared. Extensive simulations show that Rao's efficient score tests of the fixed effect models are very conservative...
