  1. Statistical Methods for Rare Variant Association Test Using Summarized Data Qunyuan Zhang Ingrid Borecki, Michael A. Province Division of Statistical Genomics

  2. Next generation sequencing => rare variants Two types of data Motivation Summarized level • Pooled DNA sequencing • Public data (as control) Individual level

  3. Existing Methods

  4. EFTTFT QQ Plots of Existing Methods(under the null) EFT and C-alpha inflated with false positives TFT and CAST no inflation, but assuming single effect-direction Objective More general, powerful methods … CAST C-alpha

  5. variant 1 variant 2 … … variant 3 variant k variant i Structure of Summarized data Strategy Instead of testing total freq./number, we test the randomness of all tables.

  6. Exact Probability Test (EPT) 1.Calculating the probability of each table based on hypergeometric distribution 2. Calculating the logarized joint probability (L) for all k tables 3. Enumerating all possible tables and L scores 4. Calculating p-value P= Prob.( )

  7. Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT) Binomial distribution

  8. EPT N=500 LRT N=500 Q-Q Plots of EPT and LRT(under the null) LRT N=3000 EPT N=3000

  9. Power Comparison significance level=0.00001 Variant proportion Positive causal 80% Neutral 20% Negative Causal 0% Power Power Power Sample size Sample size Sample size

  10. Power Comparisonsignificance level=0.00001 Variant proportion Positive causal 60% Neutral 20% Negative Causal 20% Power Sample size

  11. Power Comparison significance level=0.00001 Variant proportion Positive causal 40% Neutral 20% Negative Causal 40% Power Sample size

  12. Power Comparison individual-level data vs. summarized dataN=1000, significance level=0.00001 Power CMC Li & Leal, 2008 SKAT Wu et al., 2011 Variant proportion positive : neutral : negative (%)

  13. Cases: 460 ovarian cancer cases, germline exome data, from TCGA Controls: ~3500 individuals, exome data, from NHBLI Application -LOG10 p-values of 933 cancer-related genes

  14. Conclusions EFT and C-alpha produce inflated p-value. TFT and CAST produce correct p-value, but lose power in detecting bi-directional effects. EPT produces correct p-value and maintains power regardless of effect directions, more computer time. LRT produces slightly biased p-value for small N, can be improved by larger N, similar power of EPT, less computer time, a good alternative for large datasets. If no confounders need to be modeled, there is no significant loss of power in the use of summarized data
