AbstractGenome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify genetic variants underlying complex traits but are limited by stringent genome-wide significance thresholds. We present GRIN (Gene set Refinement through Interacting Networks), which increases confidence in the expanded gene set by retaining genes strongly connected by biological networks when GWAS thresholds are relaxed. GRIN was validated on both simulated interrelated gene sets as well as multiple GWAS traits.

Correction to: Nature Medicine https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-024-02839-5, published online 1 March 2024In the version of the article initially published, the pipeline for the cross-ancestry meta-analysis did not accurately code some SNPs such that they were not combined despite being the same polymorphism. To fix this, we correctly annotated the rsIDs for the summary statistics from each ancestry and meta-analyzed them based on the unique rsID for each polymorphism.

AbstractChronic pain is a common problem, with more than one-fifth of adult Americans reporting pain daily or on most days. It adversely affects the quality of life and imposes substantial personal and economic costs. Efforts to treat chronic pain using opioids had a central role in precipitating the opioid crisis.
