Network-assisted analysis of GWAS data identifies a functionally-relevant gene module for childhood-onset asthma
11 Apr 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The number of genetic factors associated with asthma remains limited. To identify new genes with an undetected individual effect but collectively influencing asthma risk, we conducted a network-assisted analysis that integrates outcomes of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and protein-protein interaction networks. We used two GWAS datasets, each consisting of the results of a meta-analysis of nine...
