The FREGAT package supplies the most common and efficient tests for the region-based association analysis aimed at identification of rare genetic variants for family-based, genetically related or population samples. Tests implemented are FFBSKAT (fast family-based sequence kernel association test), FFBSKAT optimal, famBT (family burden test), famFLM (family functional linear model, a functional data analysis approach), and MLR (standard multiple linear regression). The methods provide regional association testing of a set of SNPs with a continuous phenotype in the presence of additional covariates and within-family correlations.
