Description of the DiG file
Each line in the DiG list represents a single gene and its association with some disease (taken from Morbid Map). Each gene (line) has been assigned a disease group number (column 7). Each group represents a set of phenotypically related diseases as determined by their Morbid Map titles.
Column number: 1
| Column name: | title |
| Column type: | text, contains multiple fields |
| Description: | title column as listed in Morbid Map |
| Example: | 17,20-lyase deficiency, isolated, 202110 (3) |
Notes
"17,20-lyase deficiency, isolated" is the disease title
"202110" is the OMIM identifier
(3) is the evidence code (diseasetag)
See http://irefindex/wiki/DiG:_Disease_groups for more information.
Column number: 2
| Column name: | genesymbol |
| Column type: | text, multiple values comma delimited |
| Description: | gene symbols as originally listed in Morbid Map. |
| Example: | CYP17A1, CYP17, P450C17 |
Notes
Column number: 3
| Column name: | locus |
| Column type: | text |
| Description: | gene locus as originally listed in Morbid Map |
| Example: | 10q24.3 |
Notes
Column number: 4
| Column name: | diseaseomimid |
| Column type: | integer |
| Description: | OMIMID extracted from title column in Morbid Map (see Column 1 above). |
| Example: | 202110 |
Notes This omim identifier usually refers to a record describing a disease phenotype; it is a descriptive entry that does not refer to a unique locus.
See [1].
Column number: 5
| Column name: | diseasetag |
| Column type: | string ((1), (2) or (3)) |
| Description: | evidence code extracted from title column in Morbid Map (see Column 1 above) |
| Example: | (3) |
Notes
Only entries with (3) in this column have been mapped to a disease group (see column 7). For explanation of disease tags see [2]
Column number: 6
| Column name: | geneid |
| Column type: | integer |
| Description: | EntrezGene identifier |
| Example: | 64087 |
Notes
Cross-reference to EntrezGene (see [3]). In some cases, a zero will appear in this column if a mapping to an EntrezGene identifier could not be made using the gene names provided by Morbid Map (see Column 2 above).
Column number: 7
| Column name: | digid |
| Column type: | integer |
| Description: | Disease Group identifier |
| Example: | 1 |
Notes
The whole point of the table. This identifier is not stable between releases of DiG. Entries with identical DiG identifiers are deemed to belong to a set of phenotypically-related diseases (and genes).
Column number: 8
| Column name: | mantitle |
| Column type: | text |
| Description: | manually created title |
| Example: | 17,20-lyase deficiency, isolated, 202110 (3) |
Notes
In some rare cases, titles provided by Morbid Map could not be properly processed by the text matching process. These titles were manually re-written to avoid these problems. In most cases, the text in this column is identical to that in column 1. See http://irefindex/wiki/DiG:_Disease_groups for details. All these manual changes can be propagated from release to release. Note that the manual titles are not guaranteed to contain OMIM identifiers and evidence codes.
Column number: 9
| Column name: | omimid |
| Column type: | integer |
| Description: | omim identifier |
| Example: | 609300 |
Notes This omim identifier usually refers to a record describing a gene. This identifier is distributed as a separate column in the original morbid map file.
