Meta-analysis of SNPs involved in variance heterogeneity using Levene’s test for equal variances
Abstract
Meta-analysis is a commonly used approach to increase the sample size for genome-wide association searches when individual studies are otherwise underpowered. Here, we present a meta-analysis procedure to estimate the heterogeneity of the quantitative trait variance attributable to genetic variants using Levene’s test without needing to exchange individual-level data. The meta-analysis of Levene’s test offers the opportunity to combine the …
