Abstract:Identifying genetic susceptibility factors for complex disorders remains a challenging task. We have developed a weights-based pipeline to prioritize variants and genes in collections of small and large pedigrees where genetic heterogeneity is likely, but biological commonalities are plausible. The Weights-based vAriant Ranking in Pedigrees (WARP) pipeline prioritizes variants using 5 weights: disease incidence rate, number of cases in a family, genome fraction shared amongst cases in a family, allele frequenc… Show more
