• Authors: Rushabh Patel, Yanhui Guo
• Abstract summary: Recent advances in the field of machine learning is efficient to predict these interactions between abnormal human phenotypes and genes. In this study, we developed a framework to predict links between human phenotype ontology (HPO) and genes. Compared to the other 4 methods LightGBM is able to find more accurate interaction/link between human phenotype & gene pairs.

• Abstract: Background The learning of genotype-phenotype associations and history of human disease by doing detailed and precise analysis of phenotypic abnormalities can be defined as deep phenotyping. To understand and detect this interaction between phenotype and genotype is a fundamental step when translating precision medicine to clinical practice. The recent advances in the field of machine learning is efficient to predict these interactions between abnormal human phenotypes and genes. Methods In this study, we developed a framework to predict links between human phenotype ontology (HPO) and genes. The annotation data from the heterogeneous knowledge resources i.e., orphanet, is used to parse human phenotype-gene associations. To generate the embeddings for the nodes (HPO & genes), an algorithm called node2vec was used. It performs node sampling on this graph based on random walks, then learns features over these sampled nodes to generate embeddings. These embeddings were used to perform the downstream task to predict the presence of the link between these nodes using 5 different supervised machine learning algorithms. Results: The downstream link prediction task shows that the Gradient Boosting Decision Tree based model (LightGBM) achieved an optimal AUROC 0.904 and AUCPR 0.784. In addition, LightGBM achieved an optimal weighted F1 score of 0.87. Compared to the other 4 methods LightGBM is able to find more accurate interaction/link between human phenotype & gene pairs.

  Heterogeneous graph neural network (HGNN) is a very popular technique for the modeling and analysis of heterogeneous graphs. We develop for the first time a novel and robust heterogeneous graph contrastive learning approach, namely HGCL, which introduces two views on respective guidance of node attributes and graph topologies. In this new approach, we adopt distinct but most suitable attribute and topology fusion mechanisms in the two views, which are conducive to mining relevant information in attributes and topologies separately.

• Handling highly correlated genes in prediction analysis of genomic studies [0.0]
  High correlation among genes introduces technical problems, such as multi-collinearity issues, leading to unreliable prediction models. We propose a grouping algorithm, which treats highly correlated genes as a group and uses their common pattern to represent the group's biological signal in feature selection. Our proposed grouping method has two advantages. First, using the gene group's common patterns makes the prediction more robust and reliable under condition change.
