In the past few years, a plethora of methods for rare variant association with phenotype have been proposed. These methods aggregate information from multiple rare variants across genomic region(s), but there is little consensus as to which method is most effective. The weighting scheme adopted when aggregating information across variants is one of the primary determinants of effectiveness. Here we present a systematic evaluation of multiple weighting schemes through a series of simulations intended to mimic large sequencing studies of a quantitative trait. We evaluate existing phenotype-independent and -dependent methods, as well as weights estimated by penalized regression approaches including Lasso, Elastic Net and SCAD. We find that the difference in power between phenotype-dependent schemes is negligible when high quality functional annotations are available. When functional annotations are unavailable or incomplete, all methods suffer from power loss; however, the variable selection methods outperform the others at the cost of increased computational time. Therefore, in the absence of good annotation, we recommend variable selection methods (which can be viewed as “statistical annotation”) on top regions implicated by a phenotype independent weighting scheme. Further, once a region is implicated, variable selection can help to identify potential causal SNPs for biological validation. These findings are supported by an analysis of a high coverage targeted sequencing study of 1898 individuals.
