GLMM & WST
Y : quantitative trait or logit(binary trait)α : interceptβ : regression coefficient of weighted sum m : number of RVs to be collapsed wi : weight of variant igi : genotype (recoded) of variant iΣwigi : weighted sum (WS)X: covariate(s), such as population structure variable(s)τ : fixed effect(s) of XZ: design matrix corresponding to γγ : random polygene effects for individual subjects, ~N(0, G), G=2σ2K, K is the kinship matrix and σ2 the additive ploygene genetic variance ε : residual

Some special instances:
Mgenthaler and Thilly’s CAST, wi =1 for all RVs;
Li and Leal’s CMC, wi =1 for all RVs, limiting the sum ≤1;
Madsen and Browning’s WSS, wi based on allele frequency in controls;
Han and Pan’s aSum test, wi = 1 or -1, according to the direction of regression coefficient and a cutoff of p-value;
Zhang et al’s PWST, wi defined as a rescaled left-tailed p-value

Base on allele frequency, continuous or binary(0,1) weight, variable threshold;
Based on function annotation/prediction;
Based on sequencing quality (coverage, mapping quality, genotyping quality etc.);
Data-driven, using both genotype and phenotype data, learning weight from data, permutation test;
Any combination …
