Indicate the annotation variable designating rare variants to collapse together to form a single
genotype (typically a variable indicating the gene to which each
SNP belongs) if the
Collapse rare variants within analysis group option is checked. The output genotype data set will contain one column (and the output
annotation data set, one row) for all the rare variants with the same value of this variable within the
Annotation Plotting Group Variable. Note that the values of other variables in the annotation data set for the first rare variant in each analysis group only are included in the output annotation data set. This variable is also used for grouping together SNPs if any multiple-
locus association tests (
Hotelling's T-squared test, Multiple-Locus
regression Model, or Multiple-Locus
radial basis machine) are selected. All SNPs with the same value of this variable are included in the
model together.
The Available Variables field is populated with variables from the specified data set.
