Comparison between the stochastic search variable selection and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator for genome-wide association studies of rheumatoid arthritis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Because multiple loci control complex diseases, there is great interest in testing markers simultaneously instead of one by one. In this paper, we applied two model selection algorithms: the stochastic search variable selection (SSVS) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) to two quantitative phenotypes related to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RESULTS:The Genetic Analysis Workshop 16 data includes 2,062 unrelated individuals and 545,080 single-nucleotide polymorphism markers from the Illumina 550 k chip. We performed our analyses on the cases as the quantitative phenotype data was not provided for the controls. The performance of the two algorithms was compared. Using sure independence screening as the prescreening procedure, both SSVS and LASSO give small models. No markers are identified in the human leukocyte antigen region of chromosome 6 that was shown to be associated with RA. SSVS and LASSO identify seven common loci, and some of them are on genes LRRC8D, LRP1B, and COLEC12. These genes have not been reported to be associated with RA. LASSO also identified a common locus on gene KTCD21 for the two phenotypes (marker rs230662 and rs483731, respectively). CONCLUSION:SSVS outperforms LASSO in simulation studies. Both SSVS and LASSO give small models on the RA data, however this depends on model parameters. We also demonstrate the ability of both LASSO and SSVS to handle more markers than the number of samples.

Project description:Objective: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a heart disease with high mortality characterized by progressive cardiac dilation and myocardial contractility reduction. The molecular signature of dilated cardiomyopathy remains to be defined. Hence, seeking potential biomarkers and therapeutic of DCM is urgent and necessary. Methods: In this study, we utilized the Robust Rank Aggregation (RRA) method to integrate four eligible DCM microarray datasets from the GEO and identified a set of significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between dilated cardiomyopathy and non-heart failure. Moreover, LASSO analysis was carried out to clarify the diagnostic and DCM clinical features of these genes and identify dilated cardiomyopathy derived diagnostic signatures (DCMDDS). Results: A total of 117 DEGs were identified across the four microarrays. Furthermore, GO analysis demonstrated that these DEGs were mainly enriched in the regulation of inflammatory response, the humoral immune response, the regulation of blood pressure and collagen-containing extracellular matrix. In addition, KEGG analysis revealed that DEGs were mainly enriched in diverse infected signaling pathways. Moreover, Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that immune and inflammatory biological processes such as adaptive immune response, cellular response to interferon and cardiac muscle contraction, dilated cardiomyopathy are significantly enriched in DCM. Moreover, Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) analyses of the 18 DCM-related genes developed a 7-gene signature predictive of DCM. This signature included ANKRD1, COL1A1, MYH6, PERELP, PRKACA, CDKN1A, and OMD. Interestingly, five of these seven genes have a correlation with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in DCM patients. Conclusion: Our present study demonstrated that the signatures could be robust tools for predicting DCM in clinical practice. And may also be potential treatment targets for clinical implication in the future.

Project description:BackgroundHyperuricemia is a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus and can lead to serious consequences such as gout and kidney disease.MethodsPatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from six different communities in Fuzhou were recruited from June to December 2022. Questionnaires, physical examinations, and laboratory tests were conducted to collect data on various variables. Variable screening steps were performed using univariate and multivariate stepwise regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, and Boruta feature selection. The dataset was divided into a training-testing set (80%) and an independent validation set (20%). Six machine learning models were built and validated.ResultsA total of 8243 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were included in this study. According to Occam's razor method, the LASSO regression algorithm was determined to be the optimal risk factors selection method, and nine variables were identified as parameters for the risk assessment model. The absence of diabetes medication and elevated fasting blood glucose levels exhibited a negative correlation with the risk of hyperuricemia. Conversely, seven other variables demonstrated a positive association with the risk of hyperuricemia among patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Among the six machine learning models, the artificial neural network (ANN) model demonstrated the highest performance. It achieved an areas under curve of 0.736, accuracy of 68.3%, sensitivity of 65.0%, specificity of 72.2%, precision of 73.6% and F1-score of 69.0%.ConclusionsWe developed an ANN model to better evaluate the risk of hyperuricemia in the type 2 diabetes population. In the type 2 diabetes population, women should pay particular attention to their uric acid levels, and type 2 diabetics should not neglect their obesity level, blood pressure, kidney function and lipid profile during their regular medical check-ups, in order to do their best to avoid the risks associated with the combination of type 2 diabetes and hyperuricemia.
