Network location and clustering of genetic mutations determine chronicity in a stylized model of genetic diseases.

Abstract excerpt

In a highly simplified view, a disease can be seen as the phenotype emerging from the interplay of genetic predisposition and fluctuating environmental stimuli. We formalize this situation in a minimal model, where a network (representing cellular regulation) serves as an interface between an input layer (representing environment) and an output layer (representing functional phenotype). Genetic predisposition for...
