DisGeNet: a disease-centric interaction database among diseases and various associated genes. [PMID: 39797570]

The pathogenesis of complex diseases is intricately linked to various genes and network medicine has enhanced understanding of diseases. However, most network-based approaches ignore interactions mediated by noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) and most databases only focus on the association between genes and diseases. Based on the mentioned questions, we have developed DisGeNet, a database focuses not only on the disease-associated genes but also on the interactions among genes. Here, the associations between diseases and various genes, as well as the interactions among these genes are integrated into a disease-centric network. As a result, there are a total of 502 688 interactions/associations involving 6697 diseases, 5780 lncRNAs (long noncoding RNAs), 16 135 protein-coding genes, and 2610 microRNAs stored in DisGeNet. These interactions/associations can be categorized as protein-protein, lncRNA-disease, microRNA-gene, microRNA-disease, gene-disease, and microRNA-lncRNA. Furthermore, as users input name/ID of diseases/genes for search, the interactions/associations about the search content can be browsed as a list or viewed in a local network-view.
