Abstract excerpt
The omnigenic model posits that genetic risk for traits with complex heritability involves cumulative effects of peripheral genes on mechanistic "core genes," suggesting that in a network of genes, those closer to clusters including core genes should have higher GWAS signals. In gene co-expression networks, we confirmed that GWAS signals accumulate in genes more connected to risk-enriched gene clusters,...
