Interestingly, 70% of AGER negative interactors are switch genes including PRDX4, whose activation strongly correlates with the activation of known COPD GWAS interactors SERPINE2, CD79A, and POUF2AF1. These results suggest that SWIM analysis can identify key network modules related to complex diseases like COPD. The gene discussed is SERPINE2; the disease is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
