    <p>Key driver genes were denoted as larger nodes in the network. Genes were colored based on their membership in the six CAD-associated supersets. A) ‘Lipid II’ superset in red. B) ‘Lipid I’ superset in yellow. C) ‘Unknow II’ superset in lime. D) ‘Immunity’ superset in green. E) ‘Antigen’ superset in blue. F) ‘Unknown I’ superset in magenta. Only edges that were present in at least two Bayesian networks constructed from independent studies were included.</p

    <p>A) The SNP set enrichment analysis (SSEA) comprised four steps. First, gene sets from knowledge-driven pathways and data-driven co-expression modules were collected. Second, the gene sets were converted to expression SNP (eSNP) sets according to genetics of gene expression or eQTL studies. Third, P-values from CAD GWAS were extracted for each eSNP. Fourth, the GWAS P-values within eSNP sets were compared against random expectation to derive pathways and network modules enriched for CAD genetic signals. B) Overlapping CAD-associated gene sets were merged and trimmed into non-overlapping supersets. C) Integration of Bayesian gene-gene network models with CAD-associated supersets to determine key driver genes based on network topology.</p

    <p>The enrichment score was defined as the mean of negative log-transformed Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Fisher P-values for over-representation of high-ranking GWAS SNPs among the eSNPs that affect the expression of the pathway member genes. The number in parentheses in the first column indicates the number of CAD-associated pathways (detailed in <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1004502#pgen.1004502.s004" target="_blank">Table S1</a>).</p><p>*FDR<20% in Stage 1 and 2 respectively, and FDR<5% in combined Stage 1 & 2.</p
