Abstract excerpt
Most methods for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) focus on discovering a single genetic variant, but the pathogenesis of complex diseases is thought to arise from the joint effect of multiple genetic variants. Information about pathway structure, such as the interactions and distances between gene products within pathways, can help us learn more about the functions and joint effect of genes associated with...
