Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1The Identification of Discriminative Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Sets for the Classification of Behçet's Disease(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-09) Görmez, Yasin; Işik, Yunus Emre; Bakir-Güngör, BurcuBehçet's disease is a long-term multisystem inflammatory disorder, characterized by recurrent attacks affecting several organs. As the genotyping individuals get cheaper and easier following the developments in genomic technologies, 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) are identified. Although several genetic risk factors are identified for Behçet's disease with the help of these studies via scanning around a million of SNPs, these variations could only explain up to 20% of the disease's genetic risk. In this study, for Behçet's disease classification, via comparing all the SNPs genotyped in GWAS, with the SNPs selected via using genetic knowledge, gain ratio and information gain; both reduction in the feature size and improvement in the classification accuracy is aimed. Also, using different classification algorithms such as random forest, k-nearest neighbour and logistic regression, their effects on the classification accuracy are investigated. Our results showed that compared to other feature selection methods, with at least 81% success rate, the selection of the SNPs using the genetic information (of their GWAS p-values, indicating the significance of the SNP against the disease) provides 15% to 42% improvement in all classification algorithms. This improvement is statistically sound. While gain ratio and information gain feature selection techniques yield similar classification accuracies, the models using all SNPs could not exceed 50% accuracies and results in the worst performance. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Comparison of Disease Specific Sub-Network Identification Programs(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-09) Dedeturk, Beyhan Adanur; Bakir-Güngör, Burcu; Adanur, Beyhun; Gungor, Burcu BakirActive sub-network search aims to identify a group of interconnected genes in a protein-protein interaction network that contains most of the disease-associated genes. In recent years, to address active sub-network search problem, various algorithms and programs are developed. In this study, performances of disease specific sub-network identification programs are compared. The same input dataset is run in jActiveModules, ActiveSubnetworkGA, CytoHubba, ClusterViz, MCODE, CytoMOBAS, PathFindR, PINBPA and PEWCC programs. Then, functional enrichment analysis is applied on obtained sub-networks. Finally, they are compared according to the results of GO Enrichment Analysis. In addition to these, work performances, features and requirements of programs are compared. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.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 Papiller Tiroid Karsinom Oluşumunda Etkili Moleküler Mekanizmaların İn Siliko Yöntemlerle Tespit Edilmesi(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-04) Ersöz, Nur Sebnem; Guzel, Yasin; Bakir-Güngör, BurcuRepresenting approximately 70% to 80% of thyroid cancers, papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancers. PTC is seen in all age groups, but it is seen more frequently in women than in men. Detection of biomarker proteins of papillary thyroid cancinoma plays an important role in the diagnosis of the disease. In this study, we aim to find target genes and pathways that are associated with papillar thyroid carcinoma, by integrating different bioinformatics methods. For this purpose, usingin-silico methodologies, candidate genes and pathways that could explain disease development mechanisms are identified. Throughout this study, firstly we identified differentially expressed genes as the amount of their protein product differ between patient and healthy groups. Secondly, by using active subnetworks search algorithms, topologic analyses and functional enrichment tests, candidate proteins,which could be thought as PTC biomarkers, and affected pathways are identified. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Kolon Kanserinde Etkilenen Yolak Alt Ağlarini Ve Kümelenmelerini Belirlemek için Yeni Bir Yöntem(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-09) Göy, Gökhan; Ünlü Yazici, Miray; Bakir-Güngör, BurcuNowadays new technological developments that play an important role in the production of big data have brought about the interpretation, sharing and storage of data related to complex diseases. Combining multi-omic data in different molecular levels is potentially important for understanding the biological origin of complex diseases. One of these complex diseases is cancer of different types, which has one of the highest causes of death worldwide. The integration of multiple omic data in the framework of a comprehensive analysis and identification of relevant pathways contribute to the development of therapeutic approaches related to disease. In this study, RNA and methylation data (genes and p values) of colon adenocarcinoma were obtained from TCGA data portal and combined with Fisher's method. While protein subnetworks affected by the disease were identified by using subnetwork algorithm, pathways related to the disease and genes associated with these pathways were determined by functional enrichment analysis. Using gene-pathway relationship matrix, kappa scores of pathways were determined by similarity calculation. In this way, the pathways were clustered according to the hierarchically optimal number, as a result, the most important pathway clusters and related genes that are effective in disease formation identified. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
