Genetic dissection of complex traits using hierarchical biological knowledge.

PLoS computational biology
Despite the growing constellation of genetic loci linked to common traits, these loci have yet to account for most heritable variation, and most act through poorly understood mechanisms. Recent machine learning (ML) systems have used hierarchical bio...

Identifying digenic disease genes via machine learning in the Undiagnosed Diseases Network.

American journal of human genetics
Rare diseases affect millions of people worldwide, and discovering their genetic causes is challenging. More than half of the individuals analyzed by the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) remain undiagnosed. The central hypothesis of this work is th...

Translating polygenic risk scores for clinical use by estimating the confidence bounds of risk prediction.

Nature communications
A promise of genomics in precision medicine is to provide individualized genetic risk predictions. Polygenic risk scores (PRS), computed by aggregating effects from many genomic variants, have been developed as a useful tool in complex disease resear...

Deep neural network improves the estimation of polygenic risk scores for breast cancer.

Journal of human genetics
Polygenic risk scores (PRS) estimate the genetic risk of an individual for a complex disease based on many genetic variants across the whole genome. In this study, we compared a series of computational models for estimation of breast cancer PRS. A de...

Dimensionality reduction reveals fine-scale structure in the Japanese population with consequences for polygenic risk prediction.

Nature communications
The diversity in our genome is crucial to understanding the demographic history of worldwide populations. However, we have yet to know whether subtle genetic differences within a population can be disentangled, or whether they have an impact on compl...

Deep learning versus parametric and ensemble methods for genomic prediction of complex phenotypes.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE
BACKGROUND: Transforming large amounts of genomic data into valuable knowledge for predicting complex traits has been an important challenge for animal and plant breeders. Prediction of complex traits has not escaped the current excitement on machine...

Polygenic risk scores outperform machine learning methods in predicting coronary artery disease status.

Genetic epidemiology
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading global cause of mortality and has substantial heritability with a polygenic architecture. Recent approaches of risk prediction were based on polygenic risk scores (PRS) not taking possible nonlinear effect...

Using game theory and decision decomposition to effectively discern and characterise bi-locus diseases.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
In order to gain insight into oligogenic disorders, understanding those involving bi-locus variant combinations appears to be key. In prior work, we showed that features at multiple biological scales can already be used to discriminate among two type...

A Guide for Using Deep Learning for Complex Trait Genomic Prediction.

Genes
Deep learning (DL) has emerged as a powerful tool to make accurate predictions from complex data such as image, text, or video. However, its ability to predict phenotypic values from molecular data is less well studied. Here, we describe the theoreti...

Can Deep Learning Improve Genomic Prediction of Complex Human Traits?

Genetics
The genetic analysis of complex traits does not escape the current excitement around artificial intelligence, including a renewed interest in "deep learning" (DL) techniques such as Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN...
