Critics of GWAS in behavioral and psychiatric genetics charge that the method faces a coherence problem: that the genes it is certain to identify as risk factors for a disorder or trait will fail to point to any coherent etiological mechanism. As the critics express it, the coherence problem is not one problem but many. My goal is to disambiguate the different potential sources of incoherence in GWAS findings and consider how the tools of network analysis might be used to resolve some of them.
