Identifying noncoding risk variants using disease-relevant gene regulatory networks

Current methods for prioritization of non-coding genetic risk variants are based on sequence and chromatin features. Here, Gao et al. develop ARVIN, which predicts causal regulatory variants using disease-relevant gene-regulatory networks, and validate this approach in reporter gene assays.
