Discovering gene-phenotype associations is significant to understand the disease mechanisms. Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has been widely used in computational biology for its good performance and interpretability. In this paper, we proposed a novel metrical consistency NMF (MCNMF) method for candidate gene prioritization. The MCNMF method assume that phenotype similarities, calculated from various independent ways, should be consistent in case that the associations between genes and phenotypes are completely known. Experiment results show that our method can recover the gene-phenotype associations effectively and outperform the comparative methods.

Objective: 3p deletion syndrome is a rare monosomal disease that encompasses deletions throughout the short arm of chromosome 3. It is often in the distal region (3p25-pter), but variations in breakpoints and a complex clinical manifestation exist, with congenital heart defects being considered rare. We present the first case of hypoplastic left heart syndrome and minor dysmorphic features associated with 3p- syndrome.

Background: Mining functional gene modules from genomic data is an important step to detect gene members of pathways or other relations such as protein-protein interactions. This work explores the plausibility of detecting functional gene modules by factorizing gene-phenotype association matrix from the phenotype ontology data rather than the conventionally used gene expression data. Recently, the hierarchical structure of phenotype ontologies has not been sufficiently utilized in gene clustering while functionally related genes are consistently associated with phenotypes on the same path in phenotype ontologies.

Article Synopsis
- This paper presents a new method using GWAS filtering to identify novel phenotypes associated with genetic loci, focusing on cardiovascular disease (CVD) using UK Biobank data.
- The study employs an automated routine to analyze associations between various phenotypes and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), identifying six gene variants linked to CVD that work independently of known risk factors.
- The research not only highlights new gene-phenotype associations but also explores potential mechanisms explaining how these genetic variants contribute to cardiovascular disease.
Background And Aims: Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Bangladesh. It is estimated that genetic determinants account for around 40%-60% of its etiology, similar to environmental factors. This study aimed to provide a better understanding of the genetic, environmental, and clinical risk factors in stroke patients from Bangladesh.
