In this sub-network, among all 364 candidate proteins, 9 proteins closely interacted with both multiple SCZ and T2D susceptibility proteins (with both interacting partners ≥ 5) and were regarded as hub proteins, these hub proteins include SRC, PRKACA, PRKCA, GRB2, PTPN11, SMAD3, YWHAZ, PIK3R1 and PLCG1 (Figure 3). The gene discussed is PIK3R1; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
