Boosting GWAS using biological networks: A study on susceptibility to familial breast cancer.
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) explore the genetic causes of complex diseases. However, classical approaches ignore the biological context of the genetic variants and genes under study. To address this shortcoming, one can use biological networks, which model functional relationships, to sea...
