Abstract excerpt
By analyzing, in parallel, large literature-derived and high-throughput experimental datasets we investigate genes harboring human inherited disease mutations in the context of molecular interaction networks. Our results demonstrate that network properties influence the likelihood and phenotypic consequences of disease mutations. Genes with intermediate connectivities have the highest probability of harboring...
