Network-based approaches may leverage genome-wide association (GWA) analysis by testing for the aggregate association across several pathway members. We aimed to examine if networks of genes that represent experimentally determined protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are enriched in genes associated with risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).
