CCRaVAT / QuTie
:: DESCRIPTION
CCRaVAT (Case-Control Rare Variant Analysis Tool) & QuTie (Quantitative Trait)allow the large-scale analysis of low MAF polymorphisms by pooling rare variants within defined regions and treating them as a single ‘super-locus’. This method helps identify regions that contain a significantly higher proportion of rare minor alleles in the disease cases or controls, or within groups of individuals with significantly different quantitative trait means. Collapsing multiple rare minor alleles into a single locus across pre-defined regions (either genes or sliding windows of defined sequence length) can substantially increase power for detecting association
