# Evaluating the Influence of Disease-Gene Associations in the Significance of Disease Modules through the lens of Network Medicine
This repository contains the data and code generated for the conference paper 'Evaluating the Influence of Disease-Gene Associations in the Significance of Disease Modules through the lens of Network Medicine' by Antonio Gil Hoed, Lucía Prieto Santamaría and Alejandro Rodríguez González submitted at IEEE CBMS 2025.
The main objective of this study is to identify which seed disease genes should be included, and which parameters contribute to the significance of the disease module.
# Network medicine strategies for disease module characterization (Estrategias de la medicina de redes para la caracterización de módulos de enfermedad)
This repository contains the data and code generated for the TFG (Trabajo Fin de Grado) 'Estrategias de la medicina de redes para la caracterización de módulos de enfermedad (Network medicine strategies for disease module characterization)' by Antonio Gil Hoed. Tutored by Lucía Prieto Santamaría and cotutored by Alejandro Rodríguez González.
The main objective of this study is to identify which seed disease genes should be included, which parameters contribute to the significance of the disease module and compare different disease module discovery algorithms, being: LCC (Largest Connected Component), DIAMOnD (DIseAse MOdule Detection), DOMINO, ROBUST, TOPAS ( TOP-down Attachment of Seeds).
The Gene-Disease association (GDA) score is obtained from DisGeNET, and it is calculated, as explained in: [GDA score calculation](GDA_score_calculation.pdf)
Below, the graphical abstract of the methodology employed in this research.
