Prioritisation of Positional Disease Gene Candidates
Although much work has been done in the linkage mapping of many common disorders with a genetic component such as diabetes, asthma, obesity and schizophrenia, few of the genes involved have been identified. These studies have often mapped disease susceptibility to regions of tens of megabases, potentially containing many hundreds of genes [4]. A method of prioritising such positional candidates...
متن کاملDupuytren's: a systems biology disease
Dupuytren's disease (DD) is an ill-defined fibroproliferative disorder of the palm of the hands leading to digital contracture. DD commonly occurs in individuals of northern European extraction. Cellular components and processes associated with DD pathogenesis include altered gene and protein expression of cytokines, growth factors, adhesion molecules, and extracellular matrix components. Histo...
متن کاملCancer: a Systems Biology disease.
Cancer research has focused on the identification of molecular differences between cancerous and healthy cells. The emerging picture is overwhelmingly complex. Molecules out of many parallel signal transduction pathways are involved. Their activities appear to be controlled by multiple factors. The action of regulatory circuits, cross-talk between pathways and the non-linear reaction kinetics o...
متن کاملBiomarker candidates for cardiovascular disease and bone metabolism disorders in chronic kidney disease: a systems biology perspective
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) show a panel of partially de-regulated serum markers indicative for bone metabolism disorders and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This review provides an overview of currently reported biomarker candidates at the interface of kidney disease, bone metabolism disorders and CVDs, and gives details on their functional interplay on the level of protein-prot...
متن کاملMolecular profiles to biology and pathways: a systems biology approach
Interpreting molecular profiles in a biological context requires specialized analysis strategies. Initially, lists of relevant genes were screened to identify enriched concepts associated with pathways or specific molecular processes. However, the shortcoming of interpreting gene lists by using predefined sets of genes has resulted in the development of novel methods that heavily rely on networ...
