The power of genotype-phenotype association mapping studies increases greatly when contributions from multiple variants in a focal region are meaningfully aggregated. Currently, there are two popular categories of variant aggregation methods. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) represent a set of emerging methods that select variants based on their effect on gene expressions, providing pretrained linear combinations of variants for downstream association mapping. In contrast to this, kernel methods such as sequence kernel association test (SKAT) model genotypic and phenotypic variance use various kernel functions that capture genetic similarity between subjects, allowing nonlinear effects to be included. From the perspective of machine learning, these two methods cover two complementary aspects of feature engineering: feature selection/pruning and feature aggregation. Thus far, no thorough comparison has been made between these categories, and no methods exist which incorporate the advantages of TWAS- and kernel-based methods. In this work, we developed a novel method called kernel-based TWAS (kTWAS) that applies TWAS-like feature selection to a SKAT-like kernel association test, combining the strengths of both approaches. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate that kTWAS has higher power than TWAS and multiple SKAT-based protocols, and we identify novel disease-associated genes in Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium genotyping array data and MSSNG (Autism) sequence data. The source code for kTWAS and our simulations are available in our GitHub repository (https://github.com/theLongLab/kTWAS).
