Currently, due to the appearance of an increasing number of genomic, molecular, histological data, there is an intensive detailing of individual molecular genetic systems of the human body and phenotypic deviations caused by violations in one or more elements of these systems. At the same time, there is no, as such, a holistic understanding of the nature of the formation and course of type II diabetes, which includes a sufficient amount of available experimental data. In this study, we reconstructed gene networks of transcriptional regulation, functional connectivity, and protein-protein interactions for type 2 diabetes. Information on the evolutionary age of genes was superimposed on the network; it was shown that the genes in question are predominantly “evolutionarily old”. New genes have been found that were not previously associated with type 2 diabetes, such as PER1, PER3, ARHGEF4, genes whose homologues are associated with the onset of diabetes in mice – CLOCK, ARNTL (encoding transcription factors) – the goals for subsequent experimental confirmation. Validation of gene networks by analysis of tissue-specific expression has shown that most genes included in putative signal transduction pathways are expressed in the same tissues.

Whole exomes for a set of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) were sequenced to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using MAX3 test to find novel genomic variants associated with the disease. As a result, several new variants were identified.

The eQTL SNP in exon 8 of the MLH1 gene rs1799977, may affect the methylation level of the promoter region of the same gene. When studying both the effects of methylation level and individual SNPs on the formation of phenotypic variability in humans and the risk of developing pathological conditions, it is necessary to use a integrated data analysis approach.
