Association between causal genes and their genetic diseases is an important problem concerning human health. Linkage analysis is such a method that can identify which unknown disease genes are located in chromosomal region out of hundreds of candidate genes according to their functions, interactions, and pathways which is good identification of genes associated with general/hereditary disorders.Here, we used method for prioritization of candidate genes of Dementia by the use of a global network distance measure, Random Walk Analysis, which detects neurological disorder been associated with distribution of sub-network among the genes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
