Abstract We have developed an integrative analysis method combining genetic interactions identified using type l diabetes genome scan data and a high-confidence human protein interaction network. Resulting networks were ranked by the significance of the enrichment of proteins from interacting regions. We identified a number of new protein network modules and novel candidate genes proteins for type l diabetes. We propose this type of integrative analysis as a general method for the elucidation of genes and networks involved in diabetes and other complex diseases. Background Complex traits like type 1 diabetes T1D are generally believed to be under the influence of multiple genes interacting with each other to confer .
