Protein-Protein interactions uncover candidate 'core genes' within omnigenic disease networks.

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) of human diseases have generally identified many loci associated with risk with relatively small effect sizes. The omnigenic model attempts to explain this observation by suggesting that diseases can be thought of as networks, where genes with direct involvemen...
