Better understanding the phenotypic effects of drugs through shared targets in genetic disease networks by Elena Díaz-Santiago, Aurelio A. Moya-García, Jesús Pérez-García, Raquel Yahyaoui, Raquel Yahyaoui, Christine Orengo, Florencio Pazos, James R. Perkins, James R. Perkins, James R. Perkins, Juan A. G. Ranea, Juan A. G. Ranea, Juan A. G. Ranea, Juan A. G. Ranea

“…Gaining traction in this field is the use of disease data linking genes with pathological phenotypes and combining this with drugtarget interaction data.MethodsWe introduce methodology to associate drugs with effects, both intended and adverse, using a tripartite network approach that combines drug-target and target-phenotype data, in which targets can be represented as proteins and protein domains.ResultsWe were able to detect associations for over 140,000 ChEMBL drugs and 3,800 phenotypes, represented as Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms. The overlap of these results with the SIDER databases of known drug side effects was up to 10 times higher than random, depending on the target type, disease database and score threshold used. …”
