Tissue-specific network-based genome wide study of amygdala imaging phenotypes to identify functional interaction modules

Abstract

Network-based genome-wide association studies (GWAS) aim to identify functional modules from biological networks that are enriched by top GWAS findings. Although gene functions are relevant to tissue context, most existing methods analyze tissue-free networks without reflecting phenotypic specificity.
