Abstract
Many gene- and pathway-based association tests have been proposed in the literature. Among them, the SKAT is widely used, especially for rare variants association studies. In this paper, we investigate the connection between SKAT and a principal component analysis. This investigation leads to a procedure that encompasses SKAT as a special case. Through simulation studies and real data applications, we compare the proposed method with some existing tests.
