Linking variants from genome-wide association analysis to function via transcriptional network analysis.

Abstract excerpt

We outline a strategy to use tissue-specific expression along with promoter module analysis to determine the putative functional context of candidate genes implicated in genome-wide association studies. First, genes are selected from candidate SNPs, followed by construction of a gene co-regulation network to expand the regulatory context of the candidate genes, functional analysis to determine putative functional...
