Gene-dropping vs. empirical variance estimation for allele-sharing linkage statistics.

abstract：:Imputation is widely used for obtaining information about rare variants. However, one issue concerning imputation is the low accuracy of imputed rare variants as the inaccurate imputed rare variants may distort the results of region-based association tests. Therefore, we developed a pre-collapsing imputation method (P...
