Few metrics exist to describe phenotypic diversity within ophthalmic imaging datasets, with researchers often using ethnicity as a surrogate marker for biological variability. We derived a continuous, measured metric, the retinal pigment score (RPS),...
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...
Psychiatric disorders are influenced by genetic and environmental factors. However, their study is hindered by limitations on precisely characterizing human behavior. New technologies such as wearable sensors show promise in surmounting these limitat...
BACKGROUND: Opioid addiction is a worldwide public health crisis. In the United States, for example, opioids cause more drug overdose deaths than any other substance. However, opioid addiction treatments have limited efficacy, meaning that additional...
BACKGROUND: The genetic determinants of peripartum depression (PPD) are not fully understood. Using a multi-polygenic score approach, we characterized the relationship between genome-wide information and the history of PPD in patients with mood disor...
Understanding how genetic variants affect the epigenome is key to interpreting GWAS, yet profiling these effects across the non-coding genome remains challenging due to experimental scalability. This necessitates accurate computational models. Existi...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Carbonated sugar-sweetened beverages (CSSB) intake has been increasingly linked to metabolic diseases. To investigate the association between CSSB intake and metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk, and the interaction between genetic pred...
AIM: To identify potential biomarkers and explore the mechanisms underlying diabetic nephropathy (DN) by integrating machine learning, Mendelian randomization (MR) and experimental validation.
Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) aim to uncover genotype-phenotype relationships through a two-stage procedure: predicting gene expression from genotypes using an expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) data set, then testing the pred...
Machine learning (ML) has become increasingly popular in almost all scientific disciplines, including human genetics. Owing to challenges related to sample collection and precise phenotyping, ML-assisted genome-wide association study (GWAS), which us...
