A substantial body of research is focused to improve the understanding of the relationship between genotypes and phenotypes. Genotype-phenotype studies have shown promise in improving disease diagnosis in humans and identification of specific clinica...
Because the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder (MDD) is still unclear and the accurate diagnosis remains unavailable, we aimed to analyze its molecular mechanisms and develop a gene classifier to improve diagnostic accuracy. We extracted diffe...
Large-scale, sometimes nationwide, prospective genomic cohorts biobanking rich biological specimens such as blood, urine and tissues, have been established and released their vast amount of data in several countries. These genetic and epidemiological...
In spite of the efforts in developing and maintaining accurate variant databases, a large number of disease-associated variants are still hidden in the biomedical literature. Curation of the biomedical literature in an effort to extract this informat...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease of the upper and lower motor neurons resulting in death from neuromuscular respiratory failure, typically within two to five years of first symptoms. Several rare disruptive gene variants h...
Identifying complex human diseases at molecular level is very helpful, especially in diseases diagnosis, therapy, prognosis and monitoring. Accumulating evidences demonstrated that RNAs are playing important roles in identifying various complex human...
In recent years, accumulating studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) not only play an important role in the regulation of various biological processes but also are the foundation for understanding mechanisms of human diseases. Due to ...
Understanding the genetic background of complex diseases and disorders plays an essential role in the promising precision medicine. The evaluation of candidate genes, however, requires time-consuming and expensive experiments given a large number of ...
BACKGROUND: Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic multi-systemic vasculitis with a considerable prevalence in Asian countries. There are many genes associated with a higher risk of developing BD, one of which is endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase-1 (E...
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify genetic variants associated with traits or diseases. GWAS never directly link variants to regulatory mechanisms. Instead, the functional annotation of variants is typically inferred by post hoc analyses...
