2 What is OMIM? Hamosh et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 30(1):52-55, 2002 comprehensive knowledge-base of human genes and genetic disorders started by V.A. McKusick in 1966 as MIM available online since Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man maintained since 1995 at National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) integrated with Entrez daily updated by Johns Hopkins University MBC, Torino May 26th 2007

3 OMIM entries (1) OMIM entries: currently 17,663 entries (May 14th, 2007) full-text summary of gene and/or phenotype links to other genetic databases, PubMed references, etc. MIM numbers/ids: six digits starting with: (100000(200000(300000(400000(500000( important fields: titles/symbols, gene map locus (cytogenetic location), text, clinical synopsis and features of a disorder, allelic variants, references,... (not all present) ) ) ) ) ) ) Autosomal dominant loci or phenotypes (entries created before May 15, 1994) Autosomal recessive loci or phenotypes (entries created before May 15, 1994) X-linked loci or phenotypes Y-linked loci or phenotypes Mitochondrial loci or phenotypes Autosomal loci or phenotypes (entries created after May 15, 1994) allelic variants: 10-digit number: <MIMentry>.NNNN MBC, Torino May 26th 2007

4 OMIM entries (2) Entry classes: the prefix of a MIM number indicates the type of entry: e.g , BREAST CANCER 1 GENE; BRCA1 Symbol * # + % <none> ^ 4 Category gene of known sequence descriptive entry, usually of a phenotype; does not represent a unique locus contains the description of a gene of known sequence and a phenotype confirmed Mendelian phenotype or phenotypic locus; molecular basis unknown phenotype with suspected Mendelian basis or independence of entry unclear entry no longer exists (removed or moved to another entry) MBC, Torino May 26th 2007

20 Phenomics systematic classification/grouping of relationships between (disease) phenotypes ( phenomics ) in analogy to more frequent classification of gene relationships, protein-protein interactions, etc. similarity between phenotypes reflects gene relationships at the levels of 20 protein sequence and protein motifs protein-protein interactions (e.g. genes involved in the same multi-protein complex or biochemical pathway) functional annotation may be used to predict biological relations between genes and proteins (for functional annotation or disease gene prediction) MBC, Torino May 26th 2007

21 Phenomap van Driel et al., European Journal of Human Genetics 14: , phenotype map that describes the level of similarity between the majority of phenotypes establishes normalized similarity scores (between 0=unrelated and 1=identical/highly related) organized in a symmetrical score matrix: OMIM ID: Phenotype: # # # BREAST CANCER PROSTATE CANCER COLORECTAL CANCER, HEREDITARY NONPOLYPOSIS, TYPE 1; HNPCC1 PROTEIN C DEFICIENCY, CONGENITAL THROMBOTIC DISEASE DUE TO # [...] # [...] # [...] [...] # [...] # [...] # reasonable threshold for related phenotypes: 0.4 MBC, Torino May 26th 2007

22 Phenomap Construction (1) Problem: no systematic description of phenotypes in OMIM (hand-curated, different authors, etc.) Approach: Text-mining to classify >5000 phenotypes in OMIM extraction of phenotypic features of full text (TX) and clinical synopsis (CS) of phenotype entries search terms taken from anatomy (A) and disease (C) sections of the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) vocabulary 22 hierarchical structure that groups MeSH terms into concepts useful for mining OMIM entries that use different terminology for the same concepts MBC, Torino May 26th 2007

23 Phenomap Construction (2) Construction of feature vectors one feature vector per OMIM phenotype entry each feature corresponds to a MeSH concept count the number of times the terms of a MeSH concept occur in the OMIM entry reflects the concept's relevance to the phenotype entry! the relevance is locally weighted (for each entry) according to how detailed it is (e.g. eye -> retina -> photoreceptors ) and how detailed the record itself is (shorter records have fewer occurrences) the significance of a feature/concept is also weighted according to the inverse document frequency measure: 23 non-significant concepts like syndrome or disease are excluded from the analysis global weight of a concept c: number of entries analyzed gwc = log2( number ) of entries that contain c MBC, Torino May 26th 2007

24 Phenomap Construction (3) Comparing OMIM phenotype entries: similarity quantified by comparing feature vectors (corrected according to local and global weight of MeSH concepts) similarity score s = cosine of the angle between the feature vectors a,b of two phenotype entries A and B: ai bi s a, b = 2 2 ai bi where ai and bi are the weighted frequencies of feature/concept i in entries A and B. 24 MBC, Torino May 26th 2007

25 Phenomap Evaluation evaluation on subset of 1653 phenotypes for which the causative gene and protein were known average of 10 randomized phenomaps as control for background signal results: 25 genes involved in similar phenotypes often have similar sequences allelic mutations of the same gene can cause similar phenotypes paralogs that have similar function can cause similar phenotypes genes that share functional protein domains (only partly similar sequence) similar phenotypes often share a protein-protein interaction or are related to the same pathway genes involved in similar phenotypes often share Gene Ontology (GO) annotations MBC, Torino May 26th 2007

27 Exercises (1) What are the ten most similar phenotypes of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in the phenomap? What can you find out about the most similar phenotype? 27 Of what OMIM category is its entry? Why? Is Hexosaminidase A Deficiency also related to ALS? What are the ID end class of its OMIM entry? What gene causes the disease? What is the most similar phenotype to Hexosaminidase A Deficiency? Why is it so similar? MBC, Torino May 26th 2007

28 Exercises (2) What is the most similar phenotype to Breast Cancer? Does it make sense to talk about most similar phenotypes? Is a phenomap score of so much better then ? 28 Is Breast Cancer also the most similar phenotype to that phenotype according the phenomap, i.e. does the reverse relationship hold? Remember how the phenomap is constructed and what assumptions are made Does the phenomap accurately reflect phenotype similarities? What is its strength/advantage? MBC, Torino May 26th 2007
