Chapter 15: Disease Gene Prioritization
Disease-causing aberrations in the normal function of a gene define that gene as a disease gene. Proving a causal link between a gene and a disease experimentally is expensive and time-consuming. Comprehensive prioritization of candidate genes prior to experimental testing drastically reduces the associated costs. Computational gene prioritization is based on various pieces of correlative evide...

As an emerging interdisciplinary field, oncofertility bridges oncology, reproductive endocrinology, and infertility with the goal of expanding reproductive options for women with cancer. Oncofertility is currently gaining significant attention from professionals in many related fields and is undergoing considerable scrutiny in part because of the many compelling ethical dilemmas it raises. To i...

The sexual apparatus in the watermolds has not been accorded the same degree of subcellular examination that characterizes the fine structure studies on their asexual reproductive mechanism. Nevertheless, the work that has been done demonstrates that the sexual structures are certainly amenable to ultrastructural analysis. Transmission electron microscopy has greatly expanded that knowledge whi...
متن کاملNetwork-based gene-disease prioritization using PROPHNET
Motivation and Objectives A major goal in biomedicine is to determine the underlying genetic causes of human diseases in order to better understand them and support their prevention and treatment. However, the genetic bases of many multifactorial diseases are still unclear, and high-throughput technologies typically report hundred or thousands of genes associated to a disease of interest. In th...
متن کاملTowards Integrative Gene Prioritization in Alzheimer's Disease
Many methods have been proposed for facilitating the uncovering of genes that underlie the pathology of different diseases. Some are purely statistical, resulting in a (mostly) undifferentiated set of genes that are differentially expressed (or co-expressed), while others seek to prioritize the resulting set of genes through comparison against specific known targets. Most of the recent approach...
