Abstract excerpt
The impact of disease-causing defects is often not limited to the products of a mutated gene but, thanks to interactions between the molecular components, may also affect other cellular functions, resulting in potential comorbidity effects. By combining information on cellular interactions, disease-gene associations, and population-level disease patterns extracted from Medicare data, we find statistically...
