Discoveries and analyses of genetic variants at a gene or exome based on high-throughput sequencing technology are increasingly feasible.Although many association tests have already been proposed in literature for testing whether a group of variants in a target region is associated with a disease of interest,however,the analytic challenges still remain profound.The power performance of these tests generally depends on the sample size,numbers of causal and neutral variants,variant frequency,effect size and direction.
