Abstract:Cancer is a disease driven by a combination of inherited genetic variants and somatic mutations. Recently available large‐scale sequencing data of cancer genomes have provided an unprecedented opportunity to study the interactions between them. However, previous studies on this topic have been limited by simple, low statistical power tests such as Fisher's exact test. In this paper, we design data‐adaptive and pathway‐based tests based on the score statistic for association studies between somatic mutations an… Show more
