NTreceptorDB: a Database of Polymorphisms and Disease-Gene Associations in Behavioral Disorders

چکیده
Genetic variation in neurotransmitter receptors have been shown to be associated with various behavioral and mental disorders. Presentation of disease-neurotransmitter receptor relationship in a comprehensive manner would prove useful for future experimental as well as computational work. In this study, we approach the relationship of neurotransmitter receptors to mental and behavioral disorders from a biomedical text mining perspective. To this extent, we collected an initial set of known neurotransmitter receptors and mental disorders, and built an association by automated literature and text mining methods using Support Vector Machines. NTreceptorDB, a database that enables users to analyze association between neurotransmitter receptor and mental disorder data is developed. Abstracts available in NTreceptorDB show biomedical evidence for neurotransmitter receptor-disease association and are linked to PubMed. In particular, NTreceptorDB covers specific polymorphisms in neurotransmitter receptor genes that are associated with diseases.

Association of CCR2 Gene but not CCR5 Gene Polymorphisms with Alzheimer’s Disease
Chemokines participate in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses by interacting with their specific receptors on related immune and inflammatory cells such as B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells. Chemokines and their receptors are therefore considered to mediate inflammation and tissue damage in autoimmune disorders. The recent studies have revealed the genoty...

Objective: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a worldwide prevalent metabolic disorder and the cause of many morbidities and mortalities. KCNQ1 gene encodes α-subunit of voltage-gated potassium (K+) channel which plays a role in insulin secretion in the pancreas, thus its variants may confer susceptibility to diabetes. Recognition of genetic variants involved in T2DM could help the early diagnosis and p...

Background The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. Previous studies have reported that the -1031 T/C and -238 G/A polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene are important factors in reproductive-related disorders. One of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is endo...

Objective(s): Asthma, the most frequent chronic respiratory disease, results from a complex interaction between multiple genes and environmental factors. To date, more than 100 candidate genes and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported to be associated with asthma. One of the discovered genes related to asthma is ADAM33. However, the relationship between ADAM33 gene polymorph...

Molecular genetics selection on individual genes is a promising method to genetically improve economically important traits in livestock. The insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene may play important roles in growth of multiple tissues, including muscle cells, cartilage and bone. The objectives of the present study were the estimate the haplotype frequencies of the IGF-I gene polymorphisms i...
