Human disease network bipartite graph using information from OMIM database and termed human disease network. In 2009, Barrenas et al. derived complex disease-gene network using GWAs (Genome Wide Association studies). In the same year, Hidalgo et al. published a novel way of building human phenotypic disease networks in which diseases were connected according to their calculated distance. In 2011, Cusick et al. summarized studies on genotype-phenotype associations in cellular context. In 2014, Zhou, et al. built a symptom-based human disease network by mining biomedical literature database. A large-scale human disease network shows scale-free property. The degree distribution follows a power law suggesting that
