Graph Embedding Based Novel Gene Discovery Associated With Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus is a group of complex metabolic disorders which has affected hundreds of millions of patients world-widely. The underlying pathogenesis of various types of diabetes is still unclear, which hinders the way of developing more efficient therapies. Although many genes have been found a...

description Diabetes mellitus is a group of complex metabolic disorders which has affected hundreds of millions of patients world-widely. The underlying pathogenesis of various types of diabetes is still unclear, which hinders the way of developing more efficient therapies. Although many genes have been found associated with diabetes mellitus, more novel genes are still needed to be discovered towards a complete picture of the underlying mechanism. With the development of complex molecular networks, network-based disease-gene prediction methods have been widely proposed. However, most existing methods are based on the hypothesis of guilt-by-association and often handcraft node features based on local topological structures. Advances in graph embedding techniques have enabled automatically global feature extraction from molecular networks. Inspired by the successful applications of cutting-edge graph embedding methods on complex diseases, we proposed a computational framework to investigate novel genes associated with diabetes mellitus.
