Network and pathway expansion of genetic disease associations identifies successful drug targets.

We test what happens if we select as targets sets of genes that are both within a pathway or a network module that is itself significantly enriched for genetic association to a disease as measured by a GWAS (based on a Pascal gene score threshold) and have a nominally significant (P < 0.05) Pascal gene score to the same disease in the same GWAS.
