Biological process similarity of diseases. Portion of the human protein-protein interaction (PPI) network depicting the localization of disease genes and genes related to relevant biological processes. Nodes represent protein-encoding genes and edges represent literature-documented physical interactions between them. Disease genes (denoted with the dashed ellipse areas) associated with ventricular septal defect (green nodes) and DiGeorge Syndrome (cyan nodes) are connected by biological processes related to cardiac development (nodes related to outflow tract morphogenesis in blue; heart morphogenesis in red; heart development in yellow) and endocrine development (nodes related to thyroid gland development in magenta). Concentric circles around disease genes indicate overlap of disease genes with the biological process of that color
