A human disease network is a network of human disorders and diseases with reference to their genetic origins or other features. More specifically, it is the map of human disease associations referring mostly to disease genes. For example, in a human disease network, two diseases are linked if they share at least one associated gene. A typical human disease network usually derives from bipartite networks which consist of both diseases and genes information. Additionally, some human disease networks use other features such as symptoms and proteins to associate diseases. In 2007, Goh et al. constructed a disease-gene bipartite graph using information from OMIM database and termed human disease network. In 2009, Barrenas et al. derived complex disease-gene network using GWAs (Genome Wide Association studies). In the same year, Hidalgo et al. published a novel way of building human phenotypic disease networks in which diseases were connected according to their calculated distance. In 2011, Cusick et ...

Human genome sequencing and new biological data generation techniques have provided an opportunity to uncover mechanisms in human disease. Using gene-disease data, recent research has increasingly shown that many seemingly dissimilar diseases have similar/common molecular mechanisms. Understanding similarity between diseases aids in early disease diagnosis and development of new drugs. The growing collection of gene-function and gene-disease data has instituted a need for formal knowledge representation in order to extract information. Ontologies have been successfully applied to represent such knowledge, and data mining techniques have been applied on them to extract information. Informatics methods can be used with ontologies to find similarity between diseases which can yield insight into how they are caused. This can lead to therapies which can actually cure diseases rather than merely treating symptoms. Estimating disease similarity solely on the basis of shared genes can be misleading as ...

When exploring whether disease genes encode hubs, we, and authors of other earlier studies (27-29), ignored the fact that some human genes are essential in early development and functional changes in these contribute to the high rate of first-trimester spontaneous abortions, which might be as much as 20% of recognized pregnancies. One strategy to explore the impact of this in utero essential segment of human disease is to consider human orthologs of mouse genes that result in embryonic or postnatal lethality when disrupted by homologous recombination (Mouse Genome Informatics; www.informatics.jax.org). All together, we find 1,267 such mouse lethal orthologs of human genes, of which 398 are associated with human diseases, representing 22% of all known human disease genes. This allows us to distinguish between two classes of human genes: 1,267 essential genes and 1,379 nonessential disease genes, the latter obtained by removing from the full list of 1,777 OMIM disease genes the 398 that are ...

Human gene mutations resulting in specific disease phenotypes were first reported in the scientific literature over 50 years ago [1, 2]. Since then, protein and nucleotide sequence changes associated with human disease have accumulated at a rapid rate. A large body of literature has appeared on human disease-associated mutations, normal sequence variation, and alterations that acquire pathological significance when combined with other deleterious alleles or second-site mutations. With this information compiled into organized databases [3, 4], it is now possible to conduct large-scale, comprehensive analyses of human disease genes. Such studies acquire additional discriminatory power with the availability of multiple genome sequences from model organisms, as comparative studies can provide novel evolutionary insights into the selective relevance of genetic changes. In the present study, we have used a collection of nearly 1,200 human disease gene sequences to perform a large-scale analysis of ...

Despite considerable progress in understanding the molecular origins of hereditary human diseases, the molecular basis of several thousand genetic diseases still remains unknown. High-throughput phenotype studies are underway to systematically assess the phenotype outcome of targeted mutations in model organisms. Thus, comparing the similarity between experimentally identified phenotypes and the phenotypes associated with human diseases can be used to suggest causal genes underlying a disease. In this manuscript, we present a method for disease gene prioritization based on comparing phenotypes of mouse models with those of human diseases. For this purpose, either human disease phenotypes are

GWAS and more recently whole-exome/genome sequencing have generated a massive expansion in the number of candidate disease genes. Animal models will have an essential role in validating candidate genes and understanding their role in pathobiology. Advances in targeted genome engineering with TALENs and CRISPRs now makes it feasible for individual laboratories to generate heritable and precise sequence modifications of their gene of interest in any organism. Zebrafish are an attractive model system because they share the vast majority of human disease genes. Genome editing tools such as CRISPR-Cas9 and TALENs permit heritable and precise sequence modification of the genome. In this session I will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the new genome editing tools and compare these methods to existing gene knock-down approaches. I will provide a brief overview of how we are applying these exciting genome editing tools to generate more informative models of human disease.. ...

Experiments have been run on monkeys with similar diseases and drugs. Introduction of ARV drugs drastically dropped HIV levels followed by a sharp rise when the GS-9620 drug was introduced right after. This rise is exactly what researchers were looking for, as it shows that reservoir cells are activating and are now visible to the immune system. After this drug therapy, the monkeys showed drops in HIV levels around the body, although scientists still dont know for sure how these reservoir cells are being eliminated. This research are being be expanded upon (since small clinical trials on HIV-infected people are starting), sending us a lot closer to finally finding a reliable cure for AIDS ...

Environmental exposures are thought to play a role in the development of many common diseases, such as asthma and cancer, but how these exposures lead to disease is often unclear. Traditionally, the critical data needed to understand these environment-disease associations better have been scattered throughout the scientific literature, requiring researchers to comb through numerous publications to gain insight on how a chemical exposure may contribute to disease. To facilitate and expedite this process for the environmental health research community, Carolyn Mattingly, Ph.D., and her team have been working for over a decade to develop and expand the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD), a centralized, publicly available resource that systematically integrates the data needed to make connections between chemical mechanisms of action and potential impacts on human health.. A lot of emerging evidence suggests that environmental exposures lead to disease, but in many cases the research ...

These findings suggest a variation or heterogeneity in the strength of the gene-disease association (often expressed in an odds ratio) observed between Chinese and non-Chinese studies. These studies are primarily case-control studies. Many factors may contribute to the variation in the estimate of odds ratio across such studies, such as the genetic make-up of the population studied, the type of patients included, the selection of controls, the quality of the study design, and the quality of the laboratory work. These factors could lead to either over- or under-estimation of the true odds ratio. However, it is difficult to conceive that any single factor, or combination of these factors, could consistently cause the exaggerated odds ratio in Chinese studies in all the topics (gene-disease associations) examined by Pan and colleagues. Selective publication is therefore a very likely and worrying explanation for their findings ...

Dogs get very similar diseases to humans, said Kerstin Lindblad-Toh of Institute of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology, Uppsala University in Sweden and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, Massachusetts. If you ask a dog owner what sort of conditions their pets get, they will say cancer, allergies, eye diseases. Lindblad-Toh was speaking at the European Science Foundations 3rd Functional Genomics Conference, held in Innsbruck, Austria, on 1-4 October. Functional genomics describes the way in which genes and their products, proteins, interact together in complex networks in living cells. If these interactions are abnormal, diseases can result. The Innsbruck meeting brought together more than 450 scientists from across Europe to discuss recent advances in the role of functional genomics in disease. Many canine diseases could share the same genetic basis in humans and dogs, Lindblad-Toh told the conference, and because dogs have been bred into clear isolated populations - the ...

Once every two weeks, community interviewers, usually traveling by bicycle, visit the families. During the first year of the study, researchers visited 1,500 households. They collected data on humans such as fever, diarrhea, and respiratory illnesses and similar disease data for animals. For animals, researchers also recorded reproductive illnesses, nervous system illnesses, mastitis, and death. And they collected socioeconomic data for the families including age of family members, household income, and number of children. If an animal gets sick, the families can call the toll free number and a veterinarian will come out within 24 hours so the family doesnt have to wait until the next scheduled visit.. One of the big things is that we have been able to simultaneously monitor health in people and the animals they live with, said Mwangi. This is not the standard approach in the surveillance of infectious diseases ...

This project found that the canine version of two candidate genes known to be responsible for similar diseases in humans do not appear to be responsible for Craniomandibular Osteopathy (CMO) in Terriers. CMO is a painful, non-cancerous proliferation of the bone, primarily around the jaw, that lasts for a year, starting at the age of six weeks to six months. After ruling out the candidate genes, researchers started to scan the entire canine genome, looking for the causative gene for the disease. So far they have examined about 30 percent of the genome and have yet to find the gene, though the research continues. As part of this study, researchers discovered an improved approach to whole genome scans that will benefit all genetic researchers.

Each year in the U.K., about 2 percent of horses die from grass sickness. No one knows what causes the disease, but it does occur almost exclusively in grass-fed animals, including ponies and donkeys. A similar disease is thought to afflict dogs, cats, rabbits, hares, llamas and possibly sheep. Researchers recently reported their analysis of tissue samples taken from horses stricken with the disease in the journal Molecular & Cellular Proteomics. In their attempt to understand what happens at the molecular level of equine grass sickness, the researchers found misfolded and dysregulated proteins in the tissues that resembled those found in human neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease and Huntingtons disease.. ...

Several classifications pertaining to heart disease are in use: The classes are assessed in various ways, for instance, by physical examination (Killip), hemodynamic measurement (Forrester), and patient history (NYHA). The detailed meanings of each class are beyond the scope of this book, but several style points may be noted: ▪ Severity increases from lower to higher numbers and letters. ▪ There is no automatic correspondence between classes (eg, Killip class I is not equivalent to NYHA class I). ▪ The numerals are designators and are not quantitative or semiquantitative. Therefore, roman numerals are appropriate. ▪ Authors should describe their classification

The diagnosis of comorbidities, which refers to the coexistence of different acute and chronic diseases, is difficult due to the modern extreme specialisation of physicians. We envisage that a software dedicated to comorbidity diagnosis could result in an effective aid to the health practice. We have developed an R software comoR to compute novel estimators of the disease comorbidity associations. Starting from an initial diagnosis, genetic and clinical data of a patient the software identifies the risk of disease comorbidity. Then it provides a pipeline with different causal inference packages (e.g. pcalg, qtlnet etc) to predict the causal relationship of diseases. It also provides a pipeline with network regression and survival analysis tools (e.g. Net-Cox, rbsurv etc) to predict more accurate survival probability of patients. The input of this software is the initial diagnosis for a patient and the output provides evidences of disease comorbidity mapping. The functions of the comoR offer flexibility
