Identification and prioritization genes related to Hypercholesterolemia QTLs using gene ontology and protein interaction networks
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...
متن کاملInferring Gene-Phenotype Associations via Global Protein Complex Network Propagation
BACKGROUND Phenotypically similar diseases have been found to be caused by functionally related genes, suggesting a modular organization of the genetic landscape of human diseases that mirrors the modularity observed in biological interaction networks. Protein complexes, as molecular machines that integrate multiple gene products to perform biological functions, express the underlying modular o...
متن کاملSystematic identification of latent disease-gene associations from PubMed articles
Recent scientific advances have accumulated a tremendous amount of biomedical knowledge providing novel insights into the relationship between molecular and cellular processes and diseases. Literature mining is one of the commonly used methods to retrieve and extract information from scientific publications for understanding these associations. However, due to large data volume and complicated ...
متن کاملElucidating the murine brain transcriptional network in a segregating mouse population to identify core functional modules for obesity and diabetes.
Complex biological systems are best modeled as highly modular, fluid systems exhibiting a plasticity that allows them to adapt to a vast array of changing conditions. Here we highlight several novel network-based approaches to elucidate genetic networks underlying complex traits. These integrative genomic approaches combine large-scale genotypic and gene expression results in segregating mouse ...
متن کاملNetwork-Based Identification and Prioritization of Key Regulators of Coronary Artery Disease Loci.
OBJECTIVE Recent genome-wide association studies of coronary artery disease (CAD) have revealed 58 genome-wide significant and 148 suggestive genetic loci. However, the molecular mechanisms through which they contribute to CAD and the clinical implications of these findings remain largely unknown. We aim to retrieve gene subnetworks of the 206 CAD loci and identify and prioritize candidate regu...
