VTET: a variable threshold exact test for identifying disease-associated copy number variations enriched in short genomic regions

Copy number variations (CNVs) constitute a major source of genetic variations in human populations and have been reported to be associated with complex diseases. Methods have been developed for detecting CNVs and testing CNV associations in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) based on SNP arrays....
