We propose an efficient method to generate the summary statistics for set-based gene-environment interaction tests, as well as a meta-analysis approach that aggregates the summary statistics across different studies, which can be applied to large biobank-scale sequencing studies with related samples. Simulations showed that meta-analysis is numerically concordant with the equivalent pooled analysis using individual-level data. Moreover, meta-analysis accommodates heterogeneity between studies an...
