\begin{itemize}  \item VT \cite{Price_2010}:   \begin{itemize}  \item The variable threshold (VT) approach of \citeNP{Price_2010} is based on the regression of phenotypes onto the counts of variants meeting the MAF threshold. whose minor allele frequencies (MAFs) are below some threshold (e.g. $5\%$) CHECK THIS.  \item Variants with MAF below some threshold are more likely to be functional than the variants with higher MAF.   \item For each possible MAF threshold, a genotype score is computed based on given collapsing theme. The chosen MAF threshold maximizes the association signal and permutation testing is used to adjust for the multiple thresholds.  \item \citeNP{Price_2010} found that the VT approach had high power to detect the association between rare variants and disease traits when effects are in one direction in their simulations.
