Genes prioritization with respect to Cancer Gene Modules
نویسنده
چکیده
The classification of genes as belonging or not to Cancer Gene modules (CGMs) can help in shedding light on bio-molecular mechanisms involved in the onset and progression of many types of tumors and is also able to open novel research directions for diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic studies. In this contribution we propose a novel method suitable for CGMs membership prioritization in Functional Interaction networks. The proposed method was evaluated on previously published datasets and compares favorably with other state-of-the-art methods.

Identification of Prognostic Genes in Her2-enriched Breast Cancer by Gene Co-Expression Net-work Analysis
Introduction: HER2-enriched subtype of breast cancer has a worse prognosis than luminal subtypes. Recently, the discovery of targeted therapies in other groups of breast cancer has increased patient survival. The aim of this study was to identify genes that affect the overall survival of this group of patients based on a systems biology approach. Methods: Gene expression data and clinical infor...
متن کاملExploring Gene Signatures in Different Molecular Subtypes of Gastric Cancer (MSS/ TP53+, MSS/TP53-): A Network-based and Machine Learning Approach
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality, worldwide. Molecular understanding of GC’s different subtypes is still dismal and it is necessary to develop new subtype-specific diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Therefore developing comprehensive research in this area is demanding to have a deeper insight into molecular processes, underlying these subtypes. In this st...
متن کاملComparison of Early and Late Omics Data Integration for Cancer Modules Gene Ranking
In a recent work we evaluated the ability of semi-supervised learning methods based on random walks to rank genes with respect to Cancer Modules (CM) using networks constructed from different sources of information (Re and Valentini, 2012). The performance of this approach was evaluated using a relatively simple data integration scheme consisting in the unweighted sum of the adjacency matrices ...
متن کاملPre-Clinical Drug Prioritization via Prognosis-Guided Genetic Interaction Networks
The high rates of failure in oncology drug clinical trials highlight the problems of using pre-clinical data to predict the clinical effects of drugs. Patient population heterogeneity and unpredictable physiology complicate pre-clinical cancer modeling efforts. We hypothesize that gene networks associated with cancer outcome in heterogeneous patient populations could serve as a reference for id...

Gene identification represents the first step to a better understanding of the physiological role of the underlying protein and disease pathways, which in turn serves as a starting point for developing therapeutic interventions. Familial hypercholesterolemia is a hereditary metabolic disorder characterized by high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Hypercholesterolemia is a quantitativ...
