Candidate Gene Prioritization for Non-Communicable Diseases Based on Functional Information.

In gene sequencing methods, the topological features of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks are often used, such as ToppNet <https://toppgene.cchmc.org>. In this study, a candidate gene prioritization method was proposed for non-communicable diseases considering disease risks transferred between genes in weighted disease PPI networks with weights for nodes and edges based on functional information.

Common operations on prioGene

library(prioGene)

1. Construction of disease related networks

The function deal_net could get a disease-related network by retaining disease-causing genes and their One-step interaction neighbors in a human biological network. The parameter net means a human biological network, a matrix of two columns. The parameter dise_gene means a one-column-matrix of gene symbols obtained from the OMIM database or other disease-related databases. They need to be provided by the users. We provide examples separately in the package: prioGene::net and prioGene::dise_gene.

net_disease <- deal_net(net,dise_gene)

2. Calculation of network weights

These five functions form a pipeline to weight the nodes and edges of the network based on functional information. GO function annotation information comes from org.Hs.eg.db.

genes_mat <- get_gene_mat(net_disease)
terms_mat <- get_term_mat(net_disease)
net_disease_term <- get_net_disease_term(genes_mat,net_disease)
node_weight <- get_node_weight(genes_mat)
edge_weight <- get_edge_weight(net_disease_term,terms_mat)

3. Prioritization of candidate genes

The prioritization of candidate genes was performed based on disease risk scores of each gene obtained from an iteration process considering disease risks transferred between genes.

R_0<- get_R_0(dise_gene,node_weight,f=1)
result <- get_R(node_weight, net_disease_term, bet = 0.5, R_0 = R_0, threshold = 10^(-9))
