Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading global cause of mortality and has substantial heritability with a polygenic architecture. Recent approaches of risk prediction were based on polygenic risk scores (PRS) not taking possible nonlinear effect...
COPD is a heterogeneous syndrome. Many COPD subtypes have been proposed, but there is not yet consensus on how many COPD subtypes there are and how they should be defined. The COPD Genetic Epidemiology Study (COPDGene), which has generated 10-year lo...
BACKGROUND: Disease comorbidity is popular and has significant indications for disease progress and management. We aim to detect the general disease comorbidity patterns in Chinese populations using a large-scale clinical data set.
Disease causing gene identification is considered as an important step towards drug design and drug discovery. In disease gene identification and classification, the main aim is to identify disease genes while identifying non-disease genes are of les...
Defects in pre-mRNA splicing are frequently a cause of Mendelian disease. Despite the advent of next-generation sequencing, allowing a deeper insight into a patient's variant landscape, the ability to characterize variants causing splicing defects ha...
Detecting epistatic interaction is a typical way of identifying the genetic susceptibility of complex diseases. Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) is a decent solution for epistasis detection. Existing MDR-based methods still suffer from high...

Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have evaluated several genes related to vitamin D synthesis, metabolism and transport. They have proposed a genetic basis for low levels of vitamin D in the blood. The current study aims to investigate the rela...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We aimed to identify a blood-based gene expression score (GES) to predict the severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) by integrative use of gene network construction,...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis and development of complex diseases. Predicting potential lncRNA-disease associations can improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of human diseases and help identify...
The important role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the formation, development, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases has attracted much attention among researchers recently. In this study, we present an unsupervised deep learning model of the variational aut...
