Dear all,
I would like to inquire about the application of SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) in processing exon associations. Specifically, my data consists of GWAS results for common variants with a frequency greater than 0.005, and exon association analysis for rare variants and gene burden.
I am considering filtering out variants with a frequency less than 0.005 and retaining those sourced from exome_array_rollup and imputed_topmed. Although exome_array_rollup lacks INFO, I can retain variants based on a MAF greater than 0.005. Is this approach appropriate?
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards
