Causal relationships between diseases mined from the literature improve the use of polygenic risk scores.

Abstract excerpt

MOTIVATION: Identifying causal relations between diseases allows for the study of shared pathways, biological mechanisms, and inter-disease risks. Such causal relations can facilitate the identification of potential disease precursors and candidates for drug re-purposing. However, computational methods often lack access to these causal relations. Few approaches have been developed to automatically extract causal...
