Integrated rare variant-based risk gene prioritization in disease case-control sequencing studies.

Rare variants of major effect play an important role in human complex diseases and can be discovered by sequencing-based genome-wide association studies. Here, we introduce an integrated approach that combines the rare variant association test with gene network and phenotype information to identify...
