Genetic association studies using disease liabilities from deep neural networks.

American journal of human genetics
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...

Functionally characterizing obesity-susceptibility genes using CRISPR/Cas9, in vivo imaging and deep learning.

Scientific reports
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...

Transfer Learning Prediction of Early Exposures and Genetic Risk Score on Adult Obesity in Two Minority Cohorts.

Prevention science : the official journal of the Society for Prevention Research
Due to ethnic heterogeneity in genetic architecture, genetic risk score (GRS) constructed within the European population generally possesses poor portability in underrepresented non-European populations, but substantial genetic similarity exists acro...

Multimodal multiview bilinear graph convolutional network for mild cognitive impairment diagnosis.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a significant predictor of the early progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and can serve as an important indicator of disease progression. However, many existing methods focus mainly on the image when processing b...

Modeling gene interactions in polygenic prediction via geometric deep learning.

Genome research
Polygenic risk score (PRS) is a widely used approach for predicting individuals' genetic risk of complex diseases, playing a pivotal role in advancing precision medicine. Traditional PRS methods, predominantly following a linear structure, often fall...

Association of and gene polymorphisms and ERAP2 protein with the susceptibility and severity of rheumatoid arthritis in the Ukrainian population.

Frontiers in immunology
INTRODUCTION: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term autoimmune disorder that primarily affects joints. Although RA is chiefly associated with HLA class II, nevertheless some HLA class I associations have also been observed. These molecules present...

Machine learning-driven identification of critical gene programs and key transcription factors in migraine.

The journal of headache and pain
BACKGROUND: Migraine is a complex neurological disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of severe headaches. Although genetic factors have been implicated, the precise molecular mechanisms, particularly gene expression patterns in migraine-associ...

Applying artificial intelligence to uncover the genetic landscape of coagulation factors.

Journal of thrombosis and haemostasis : JTH
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly advancing our ability to identify and interpret genetic variants associated with coagulation factor deficiencies. This review introduces AI, with a specific focus on machine learning (ML) methods, and examines ...

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in genes associated with the vitamin D pathway related to clinical and therapeutic outcomes of American tegumentary leishmaniasis.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
BACKGROUND: The vitamin D pathway contributes to the microbicidal activity of macrophages against infection. In addition to induction of this pathway, interferon-gamma (IFNγ), interleukin (IL)-15, and IL32γ are part of a network of pro-inflammatory ...

Deep learning predicts DNA methylation regulatory variants in specific brain cell types and enhances fine mapping for brain disorders.

Science advances
DNA methylation (DNAm) is essential for brain development and function and potentially mediates the effects of genetic risk variants underlying brain disorders. We present INTERACT, a transformer-based deep learning model to predict regulatory varian...
