Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Alzheimers disease (AD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease and the onset of AD is insidious. Full understanding of the AD-related genes (ADGs) has not been completed. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) provides an AD dataset of 22,283 genes. Among these genes, 71 genes have been identified as ADGs. But there may still be underlying ADGs that have not yet been identified in the remaining 22,212 genes. This paper aims to identify additional ADGs using machine learning techniques.
