Gene-Disease Association Results

Retrieved gene-disease results are listed as records in a single table, which includes each object's identifier, the Role Code and/or Role Detail associated with the gene-disease concept pair, notation that the data derive from the Cancer Gene Index, and three method links - getGene, getEvidenceCollection, and getDiseaseOntology.

To view the gene-disease sentence and annotation information, select the getEvidenceCollection method (green box in top panel) to call up the associated Evidence type object (green box in middle panel).

h1. Search for Biological Entities Gene Query Overview


The [caBIO Home Page Search for Biological Entities|http://cabioapi.nci.nih.gov/cabio43/Home.action] is a flexible tool, and the

worklow

 workflow presented here is just one of the ways that it can be used. These steps illustrate how to query a specific type of Cancer Gene Index-associated object to identify those with attributes that are associated with your gene search term. 

h1.

 Identifying a Gene Search Term


In order to search for genes that are associated with a given disease, you must first have a [HUGO gene symbol|http://www.genenames.org] {multi-excerpt-include:wikicontent:Exit Disclaimer to Include|name=ExitDisclaimer|nopanel=true}. Although it is much easier to use the HUGO gene symbol, you may also use the gene's NCI Thesaurus concept code. To find this code, navigate to the [NCI Thesaurus web page|http://nciterms.nci.nih.gov/] and select the {{Contains}} radio button (1). Enter you gene symbol (2) and click the Search button (3). If you cannot find the term for which you were looking, click on the Contact Us link at the bottom of the web page (4).

Enter the HUGO gene symbol in the {{symbol}} field or the NCI Thesaurus gene concept code in the {{id}} field, select {{gov.nih.nci.cabio.domain.GeneFunctionAssociation}} as the Search Object, and click Submit. Retrieved results are shown as records in Gene/Agent and Gene/Disease tables.
