Network analysis of genome-wide selective constraint reveals a gene network active in early fetal brain intolerant of mutation

2015-03-29

Abstract excerpt

Using robust, integrated analysis of multiple genomic datasets, we show that genes depleted for non-synonymous de novo mutations form a subnetwork of 72 members under strong selective constraint. We further show this subnetwork is preferentially expressed in the early development of the human hippocampus and is enriched for genes mutated in neurological, but not other, Mendelian disorders. We thus conclude that c...
