Detecting Rare Mutations with Heterogeneous Effects Using a Family-Based Genetic Random Field Method.

The genetic etiology of many complex diseases is highly heterogeneous. A complex disease can be caused by multiple mutations within the same gene or mutations in multiple genes at various genomic loci. Although these disease-susceptibility mutations can be collectively common in the population, they...
