Complex diseases pose challenges in prediction due to their multifactorial and polygenic nature. This study employed machine learning (ML) to analyze genomic data from the UK Biobank, aiming to predict the genomic predisposition to complex diseases l...
The case-control study is a widely used method for investigating the genetic underpinnings of binary traits. However, long-term, prospective cohort studies often grapple with absent or evolving health-related outcomes. Here, we propose two methods, l...
SUMMARY: Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) hold promise for early disease diagnosis and personalized treatment, but their overall discriminative power remains limited for many diseases in the general population. As a result, numerous novel PRS modeling te...
Hundreds of loci have been robustly associated with obesity-related traits, but functional characterization of candidate genes remains a bottleneck. Aiming to systematically characterize candidate genes for a role in accumulation of lipids in adipocy...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly integrated into imaging genetics to provide intermediate phenotypes (i.e. endophenotypes) that bridge the genetics and clinical manifestations of human disease. However, the genetic architecture of t...
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified common variants associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, rare coding variant studies have been limited by phenotyping challenges and ...
In the area of cancer predisposition, certain situations may lead to the discussion of prophylactic surgery. This is rarely strictly recommended and depends on the patient's choice. The advantages and disadvantages must be weighed up. The main advant...
. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) summarise genetic information into a single number with clinical and research uses. Deep learning (DL) has revolutionised multiple fields, however, the impact of DL on PRSs has been less significant. We explore how DL ca...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects nearly 3% of children and has a strong genetic component. While hundreds of ASD risk genes have been identified through sequencing studies, the genetic heterogeneity of ASD ...
