SurvSTAAR: A Powerful Statistical Framework for Rare Variant Analysis of Time-to-Event Traits in Large-Scale Whole-Genome Sequencing Studies
SurvSTAAR:大规模全基因组测序中事件发生时间性状的罕见变异分析框架
The increasing availability of large-scale, population-based whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data enables comprehensive analyses of rare genetic variants, which are crucial for unraveling the genetic mechanisms underlying complex traits and diseases. Time-to-event traits offer the advantage of capturing both diagnosis status and timing, facilitating the identification of genetic variants associated with age of onset, disease progression, and lifespan. However, existing methods…
