Mitochondrial haplogroup A2 is associated with increased COVID-19 mortality in an admixed Brazilian population.

Scientific reports
Mitochondria play a crucial role in cellular respiration and immune responses. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups and variants have been associated with various diseases, including COVID-19. This study analyzed complete mtDNA sequences from 467 Br...

Exploration of shared pathogenic factors and causative genes in early-stage endometrial cancer and osteoarthritis.

Scientific reports
Osteoarthritis (OA) has been implicated in the development and progression of early-stage endometrial cancer (EC), suggesting shared pathogenic factors between the two diseases. This study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between OA and E...

Case-control study combined with machine learning techniques to identify key genetic variations in GSK3B that affect susceptibility to diabetic kidney diseases.

BMC endocrine disorders
The role of genetic susceptibility in early warning and precise treatment of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) requires further investigation. A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the predictive effect of GSK3B genetic polymorphisms on the susc...

Screening of glioma susceptibility SNPs and construction of risk models based on machine learning algorithms.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: Glioma is a common primary malignant brain tumor. This study aimed to develop a predictive model for glioma risk by these screened key SNPs in the Chinese Han population.

Epistasis regulates genetic control of cardiac hypertrophy.

Nature cardiovascular research
Although genetic variant effects often interact nonadditively, strategies to uncover epistasis remain in their infancy. Here we develop low-signal signed iterative random forests to elucidate the complex genetic architecture of cardiac hypertrophy, u...

Performance of deep-learning-based approaches to improve polygenic scores.

Nature communications
Polygenic scores, which estimate an individual's genetic propensity for a disease or trait, have the potential to become part of genomic healthcare. Neural-network based deep-learning has emerged as a method of intense interest to model complex, nonl...

PRP: pathogenic risk prediction for rare nonsynonymous single nucleotide variants.

Human genetics
Reliable prediction of pathogenic variants plays a crucial role in personalized medicine, which aims to provide accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment using genomic medicine. This study introduces PRP, a pathogenic risk prediction for rare n...

Bridging Genomic Research Disparities in Osteoporosis GWAS: Insights for Diverse Populations.

Current osteoporosis reports
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have significantly advanced osteoporosis research by identifying genetic loci associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk. However, disparities persist due to the underreprese...

CoupleMDA: Metapath-Induced Structural-Semantic Coupling Network for miRNA-Disease Association Prediction.

International journal of molecular sciences
The prediction of microRNA-disease associations (MDAs) is crucial for understanding disease mechanisms and biomarker discovery. While graph neural networks have emerged as promising tools for MDA prediction, existing methods face critical limitations...

Ge-SAND: an explainable deep learning-driven framework for disease risk prediction by uncovering complex genetic interactions in parallel.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Accurate genetic risk prediction and understanding the mechanisms underlying complex diseases are essential for effective intervention and precision medicine. However, current methods often struggle to capture the intricate and subtle gen...
