Controlling for human population stratification in rare variant association studies

Controlling for human population stratification in rare variant association studies

Abstract Population stratification is a confounder of genetic association studies. In analyses of rare variants, corrections based on principal components (PCs) and linear mixed models (LMMs) yield conflicting conclusions. Studies evaluating these approaches generally focused on limited types of str...
