Note: Analyses included the individual burden and kernel tests on γπ and γλ from the ZIP-b and ZIP-k methods, and γπ, and γμ from the two-stage approach, as well as omnibus tests using Fisher-p and Cauchy-p. The upper table shows the results from the analysis on rare variants in each gene (MAF <0.002), and the lower table only for a subset of lost-of-function (LOF) rare variants. The genes with p-value <0.05 for any individual test are listed here. The smallest p-value from either individual tests or omnibus tests are italicized for each gene. Variant weight wB = Beta(p; 1, 25) where p is the population MAF.

Abbreviations: TwoStage-b, two-stage burden test; TwoStage-k, two-stage kernel test; ZIP-b, ZIP burden test; ZIP-k, ZIP kernel.
