extract_omim: Extract the genes and variants related to a genetic disorder...

In VarfromPDB: Disease-Gene-Variant Relations Mining from the Public Databases and Literature

Description

extract_omim extracts the genes and variants related to a known genetic disorder or a clinical feature from NCBI OMIM database.The alias of a disease/phenotype are caputured from HPO database and searched in OMIM. Furtherly, the variants on a use-defined gene list can be captured meanwhile.

Usage

extract_omim(keyword, omim.apiKey,  
             localPDB.path = paste(getwd(),"localPDB",sep="/"), 
             type = "both", HPO.disease = NULL, genelist = NULL)

Arguments

keyword	character string: keyword, to search the disease, clinical feature, or phenotype.
omim.apiKey	the API key of OMIM.
localPDB.path	the path of localized public data bases. The default value is set in the working directory.
type	the type of the information to extract, must be one of "gene", "variant", "both"(default).
HPO.disease	MIM number of the disease. The default value is NULL, which means that all the MIM number of the disease in HPO are added.
genelist	the gene(s) related to the disease, or the genes you are interested.

Details

extract_omim extracts the genes from OMIM first, and then translate to appoved gene symbol by HGNC. Then the variants are captured for each gene from OMIM API. However, you should apply for an account and an API key from OMIM.

We recommend to make the files ready locally before a job, in order to avoid a possible failure by the bad network environment.

Value

A list containing two components:

morbidmap	the subset of the file morbidmap, which include all the information about genes and phenotypes in OMIM.
mutations	all the mutations in the genes in OMIM.
