Conference Object A Comparative Study on Psychiatric Disorders: Identification of Shared Pathways and Common Agents(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022-09-07) Kuzudisli, Cihan; Bakir-Güngör, Burcu; Bakir Gungor, BurcuDistinct but closely related diseases generally present shared symptoms, which address possible overlaps among their pathogenic mechanisms. Identification of significantly impacted shared pathways and other common agents are expected to elucidate etiology of these disorders and to help design better intervention strategies. In this research effort, we studied six psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia (SCZ), anorexia (AN), bipolar disorder (BD), depressive disorder (DD), autism (AU) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Our methodology can be classified into the following two parts: In Part I, common susceptibility genes; and in Part II, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data were used to find enriched pathways of psychiatric disorders. 59 KEGG pathways were commonly identified in both parts. 31 of these pathways are disease pathways. Pathways related to cancer and infectious diseases were predominant compared to others. Most of the acquired pathways were in accordance with previous studies in literature. A combination of susceptibility genes and GWAS data is an effective approach to identify significantly impacted pathways in multifactorial diseases. In this respect, shared modules were determined after applying hierarchical clustering of the enriched pathways. These identified modules may tell us the association of psychiatric disorders with the enriched pathways. Taken all together, common pathways and shared modules are expected to highlight the causative factors and important mechanisms behind complex psychiatric diseases, leading to effective drug discovery. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object İmmün Bağlantılı Hastalıklarda Aktif Alt Ağ Araması ile Ortak Hastalık Oluşum Mekanizmalarının Tespiti(IEEE, 2020-09) Eryilmaz, Mahmut Kaan; Kuzudisli, Cihan; Gungor, Burcu BakirDifferent, but related diseases often contain shared symptoms indicating the presence of possible overlaps in underlying pathogenic mechanisms. The identification of the shared pathways and related factors across these diseases helps to better understand the causes of these diseases, to prevent and treat these diseases. In this study, using immune-related diseases, we proposed a new method on how to compare the development mechanisms of related diseases based on biological pathways. Following the developments in genomic technologies, the genotyping gets cheaper and easier, and hence genome-wide association studies (GWAS) emerged. By this means, via studying big-sized case-control groups for a specific disease, potential genetic variations, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) could he identified. With the help of these studies, in which around a million of SNPs are scanned, the variations and genes that could have a role in specific disease development could be detected. In this study, via using available GWAS datasets and human protein-protein interaction network, and via detecting active subnetworks and affected pathways, seven immune related diseases are analyzed. Via investigating the similarities among the identified pathways for related diseases, we aim to define the underlying pathogenic mechanisms, and hence to contribute to the elucidation of disease development mechanisms and to the drug repositioning studies.
