EZTraits: A programmable tool to evaluate multi-site deterministic traits.

The vast majority of human traits, including many disease phenotypes, are affected by alleles at numerous genomic loci. With a continually increasing set of variants with published clinical disease or biomarker associations, an easy-to-use tool for non-programmers to rapidly screen VCF files for risk alleles is needed. We have developed EZTraits as a tool to quickly evaluate genotype data against a set of rules defined by the user.
