Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of asthma have been successful in identifying novel asthma-associated loci, but the genes at these loci account only for a part of the whole genetic component. One limitation of GWAS is that they rest on single-marker analyses which are underpowered to detect variants with small marginal effects but rather influence jointly disease risk. To complement the single-marker approaches, more sophisticated strategies, which integrate biological knowledge, such as protein-protein interactions (PPI) or gene networks with GWAS outcomes to identify disease-associated gene modules, have become prominent. The objectives of this thesis were to develop network-based analysis methods, and apply them to asthma GWAS dat...
