Analysis of Alzheimer's disease severity across brain regions by topological analysis of gene co-expression networks

Abstract: BackgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder involving variations in the transcriptome of many genes. AD does not affect all brain regions simultaneously. Identifying the differences among the affected regions may shed more light onto the disease progression. We developed a novel method involving the differential topology of gene coexpression networks to understand the association among affected regions and disease severity.MethodsWe analysed microarray data of four regions - … Show more

“…Our method shows better result because the existing method [20] focuses on local (differential connectivity which is the local difference between two networks calculated by the number of genes associated with a particular gene) as well as on global concept (between centrality: which calculate the change in the expression levels of central genes), but as given in [13] A.D does not affect all the brain regions at a time but there are differences in AD severity across regions. So it shows more local phenomena than the global one.…”

“…So the optimality of the result is solely dependent on this parameter, making the problem more parameter driven. Here we proposed an extended version of an existing method [13] and we have shown that it outperforms other existing method [20].…”
