Shared etiology of Mendelian and complex disease supports drug discovery.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Drugs targeting disease causal genes are more likely to succeed for that disease. However, complex disease causal genes are not always clear. In contrast, Mendelian disease causal genes are well-known and druggable. Here, we seek an approach to exploit the well characterized biology of Mendelian diseases for complex disease drug discovery, by exploiting evidence of pathogenic processes shared between...
