| We conducted our analysis on a cohort of 21,701 individuals genotyped on the HumanExome BeadChip. We created phenotypes using aggregated billing codes to calculate Phenotype Risk Scores (PheRS). A PheRS is a continuous variable designed to measure the phenotypic overlap of an individual with a Mendelian disease. We only tested PheRS for variants in genes known to cause the Mendelian disease (e.g. We only tested the PheRS for cystic fibrosis in CFTR variants). We restricted our analysis to rare variants (MAF<1%). We tested for association using linear regression assuming a dominant genetic model and controlling for age and sex. |
