Abstract

An emerging area of interest in understanding disease phenotypes is systems genomics. Complex diseases such as diabetes have played an important role towards understanding the susceptible genes and mutations. A wide number of methods have been employed and strategies such as polygenic risk score and allele frequencies have been useful, but understanding the candidate genes harboring those mutations is an unmet goal. In this perspective, using systems genomic approaches, we highlight the application of phenome-interactome networks in diabetes and provide deep insights. LINC01128, which we previously described as candidate for diabetes, is shown as an example to discuss the approach.

Keywords: Type 1 diabetes, Gestational diabetes mellitus, Prostate cancer, Phenome, Type 2 diabetes, Pleiotropy

Core Tip: Comprehensive genome-wide phenome-interactome networks are essential to identify candidate biomarkers such as LINC01128.
