Table 2. Disease candidate gene prediction.
Alzheimer's | Schizophrenia | Parkinson's | Autism | OMIM | |
Optimum List from GO (ROC AUC) | 0.78 | 0.73 | 0.73 | 0.71 | 0.76+/−0.22 |
Machine Learning (ROC AUC) | 0.74 | 0.69 | 0.71 | 0.67 | – |
Table 2: We predicted disease genes using the optimal gene ranking based on GO and then validated using disease gene candidate sets (top). These ROC results compare favorably to predicting candidate genes using a strongly performing protein interaction network and a powerful gene function prediction algorithm (bottom). OMIM disease gene sets are too small for cross-validation using a gene function prediction algorithm.
