An accurate prediction model of digenic interaction for estimating pathogenic gene pairs of human diseases

Increasing evidence shows that genetic interaction across the entire genome may explain a non-trivial fraction of genetic diseases. Digenic interaction is the simplest manifestation of genetic interaction among genes. However, systematic exploration of digenic interactive effects on the whole genome...

description Increasing evidence shows that genetic interaction across the entire genome may explain a non-trivial fraction of genetic diseases. Digenic interaction is the simplest manifestation of genetic interaction among genes. However, systematic exploration of digenic interactive effects on the whole genome is often discouraged by the high dimension burden. Thus, numerous digenic interactions are yet to be identified for many diseases. Here, we propose a Digenic Interaction Effect Predictor (DIEP), an accurate machine-learning approach to identify the genome-wide pathogenic coding gene pairs with digenic interaction effects. This approach achieved high accuracy and sensitivity in independent testing datasets, outperforming another gene-level digenic predictor (DiGePred). DIEP was also able to discriminate digenic interaction effect from bi-locus effects dual molecular diagnosis (pseudo-digenic). Using DIEP, we provided a valuable resource of genome-wide digenic interactions and demonstrated the enrichment of the digenic interaction effect in Mendelian and Oligogenic diseases. Therefore, DIEP will play a useful role in facilitating the genomic mapping of interactive causal genes for human diseases.
