Abstract

See full text

Increasing evidence indicates that Parkinson's disease (PD) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) share dysregulated molecular networks. 84 genes shared between PD and T2DM were identified from curated disease-gene databases. Nitric oxide biosynthesis, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, insulin secretion and inflammation were identified as common dysregulated pathways. A network prioritization approach was implemented to rank genes according to their distance to seed genes and their involvement in common biological pathways. This disclosure reinforces the idea that shared molecular networks between PD and T2DM provide an additional source of biologically meaningful biomarkers.
