RDBridge: a knowledge graph of rare diseases based on large-scale text mining.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Despite low prevalence, rare diseases affect 300 million people worldwide. Research on pathogenesis and drug development lags due to limited commercial potential, insufficient epidemiological data, and a dearth of publications. The unique characteristics of rare diseases, including limited annotated data, intricate processes for extracting pertinent entity relationships, and difficulties in standardizing data, represent challenges for text mining.

Results

We developed a rare disease data acquisition framework using text mining and knowledge graphs and constructed the most comprehensive rare disease knowledge graph to date, Rare Disease Bridge (RDBridge). RDBridge offers search functions for genes, potential drugs, pathways, literature, and medical imaging data tha
