Step 2: performing genome-wide set-based association tests. Multiple genes are tested simultaneously for computation speed-up
- Same as the genome-wide single-variant tests, –GMMATmodel_varianceRatio_multiTraits_File can be used
- Additional input –groupFile= is needed with the following parameters to run set-based tests:
--maxMAF_in_groupTest=0.1 \
--minMAF_in_groupTest_Exclude=0 \
--groupFile=${groupFile} \
--annotation_in_groupTest=null \
--MACCutoff_to_CollapseUltraRare=10 \
--is_single_in_groupTest=TRUE \
--is_equal_weight_in_groupTest=TRUE \
--LOCO=FALSE \
Output files
The program will generate one output file for each of the tested genes.
