Abstract
Recently, the development of new drugs for lifestyle diseases has been much expected due to the increasing number of patients with lifestyle diseases and the high risk to death. In this paper, based on the extraction method of disease-associated genes from the biomedical literature, we propose a method that extracts new candidate drug targets for lifestyle diseases with less side-effects by constructing a gene ontology that describes relationship to causal lifestyles. Furthermore, we evaluate the effectiveness of our method using known drugs.
