What do GWAS and rare variant burden tests discover, and why?
Do these studies find the most IMPORTANT genes? If not, how DO they rank genes?

Specificity, length, and luck: How genes are prioritized by rare and common variant association studies
Standard genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and rare variant burden tests are essential tools for identifying trait-relevant genes. Although these methods are conceptually similar, we show by anal...
