Application of the ANDCell computer system to reconstruction and analysis of associative networks describing potential relationships between myopia and glaucoma

  • Published:
Russian Journal of Genetics: Applied Research

Abstract

Reconstruction of an associative network, which represents molecular relationships among proteins, metabolites, and molecular processes associated with myopia and glaucoma was performed with the use of the ANDCell computer system which includes a database of knowledge and facts extracted automatically from PubMed. This network contains over 200 proteins and genes and more than 2000 interactions between them, including proteins and genes associated with both open-angle glaucoma and myopia. Reduction of this network and further analysis of molecular pathways revealed candidate genes for simultaneous genotyping of both myopia and open angle glaucoma.
