Fig. 1

Protein interaction network obtained from STRING database. In the left side of the figure the genes that are related to dyslexia are given, and on the right side of the figure the genes that are associated with type 2 diabetes are shown. The light-blue lines between the genes indicates interactions from curated database, while the pink lines between the genes indicates interactions that are experimentally determined. Green lines between the genes indicates predicted interactions of gene neighbourhood, while red lines indicate gene fusions and dark-blue lines indicates gene co-occurrence. Finally, the yellow lines indicate textmining co-occurrence, black lines indicate co-expression and blue-greyish lines indicates protein homology. These indications are also explained at the legend of the figure. As it is shown in a light blue box, the important connection between dyslexia and type 2 diabetes is between ROBO1 and CTNNB1, from curated database, textmining and co-expression
