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...

Deep learning and genome-wide association meta-analyses of bone marrow adiposity in the UK Biobank.

Nature communications
Bone marrow adipose tissue is a distinct adipose subtype comprising more than 10% of fat mass in healthy humans. However, the functions and pathophysiological correlates of this tissue are unclear, and its genetic determinants remain unknown. Here, w...

Do machine learning methods solve the main pitfall of linear regression in dental age estimation?

Forensic science international
INTRODUCTION: Age estimation is crucial in forensic and anthropological fields. Teeth, are valued for their resilience to environmental factors and their preservation over time, making them essential for age estimation when other skeletal remains det...

Clinical and Multiomic Features Differentiate Young Black and White Breast Cancer Cohorts Derived by Machine Learning Approaches.

Clinical breast cancer
BACKGROUND: There are documented differences in Breast cancer (BrCA) presentations and outcomes between Black and White patients. In addition to molecular factors, socioeconomic, racial, and clinical factors result in disparities in outcomes for wome...

Black-white differences in chronic stress exposures to predict preterm birth: interpretable, race/ethnicity-specific machine learning model.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Differential exposure to chronic stressors by race/ethnicity may help explain Black-White inequalities in rates of preterm birth. However, researchers have not investigated the cumulative, interactive, and population-specific nature of ch...

Important Correlates of Purpose in Life in a Diverse Population-Based Cohort: A Machine Learning Approach.

The American journal of geriatric psychiatry : official journal of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry
BACKGROUND: Purpose-in-life (PiL) refers to the tendency to derive meaning and purpose from daily life experiences. Individuals with higher PiL were more likely to have better physical, mental, and cognitive health in prospective studies. Here, we ai...

Optimizing hepatitis B virus screening in the United States using a simple demographics-based model.

Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.)
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) affects >290 million persons globally, and only 10% have been diagnosed, presenting a severe gap that must be addressed. We developed logistic regression (LR) and machine learning (ML; random forest) mod...

An artificial intelligence model to predict hepatocellular carcinoma risk in Korean and Caucasian patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Journal of hepatology
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Several models have recently been developed to predict risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Our aims were to develop and validate an artificial intelligence-assisted prediction model of...

Development and evaluation of a machine learning-based point-of-care screening tool for genetic syndromes in children: a multinational retrospective study.

The Lancet. Digital health
BACKGROUND: Delays in the diagnosis of genetic syndromes are common, particularly in low and middle-income countries with limited access to genetic screening services. We, therefore, aimed to develop and evaluate a machine learning-based screening te...
