Causality between two diseases is valuable information as subsidiary information for medicine which is intended for prevention, diagnostics and treatment. Conventional cohort-centric researches are able to obtain very objective results, however, they demands costly experimental expense and long period of time. Recently, data source to clarify causality has been diversified: available information includes gene, protein, metabolic pathway and clinical information. By taking full advantage of those pieces of diverse information, we may extract causalities between diseases, alternatively to cohort-centric researches.
