Motivated by this observation, we have developed a novel method that simultaneously integrates information from both PPI and coexpression networks to identify highly connected modules in both types of networks that are also enriched in mutations in cases and not in controls. We call this method MAGI, short for merging affected genes into integrated networks. MAGI is based on a combinatorial
optimization algorithm that aims to maximize the number of mutations in the modules while accounting for gene length and distribution of putative LoF and missense mutations in cases and controls. MAGI is generic and can be applied to any disease, given a list of de novo mutations in cases and relevant coexpression information. Using neurodevelopmental RNA-seq data from the BrainSpan Atlas
(http://www.brainspan.org/), we have applied it to exome sequence data generated from ASD, ID, epilepsy, and schizophrenia, providing a comprehensive comparison of common and specific gene modules for these diseases.
