• Abstract: A major challenge in imaging genetics and similar fields is to link high-dimensional data in one domain, e.g., genetic data, to high dimensional data in a second domain, e.g., brain imaging data. The standard approach in the area are mass univariate analyses across genetic factors and imaging phenotypes. That entails executing one genome-wide association study (GWAS) for each pre-defined imaging measure. Although this approach has been tremendously successful, one shortcoming is that phenotypes must be pre-defined. Consequently, effects that are not confined to pre-selected regions of interest or that reflect larger brain-wide patterns can easily be missed. In this work we introduce a Partial Least Squares (PLS)-based framework, which we term Cluster-Bootstrap PLS (CLUB-PLS), that can work with large input dimensions in both domains as well as with large sample sizes. One key factor of the framework is to use cluster bootstrap to provide robust statistics for single input features in both domains. We applied CLUB-PLS to investigating the genetic basis of surface area and cortical thickness in a sample of 33,000 subjects from the UK Biobank. We found 107 genome-wide significant locus-phenotype pairs that are linked to 386 different genes. We found that a vast majority of these loci could be technically validated at a high rate: using classic GWAS or Genome-Wide Inferred Statistics (GWIS) we found that 85 locus-phenotype pairs exceeded the genome-wide suggestive (P<1e-05) threshold.

  Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are used to identify relationships between genetic variations and specific traits. Representation learning for imaging genetics is largely under-explored due to the unique challenges posed by GWAS. We introduce a trans-modal learning framework Genetic InfoMax (GIM) to address the specific challenges of GWAS.

Visual-genetic alignment can significantly benefit visual-only recognition of the rarest species.

  In medical genetics, each genetic variant is evaluated as an independent entity regarding its clinical importance. In most complex diseases, variant combinations in specific gene networks, rather than the presence of a particular single variant, predominates. We propose a high dimensional modelling based method to analyse all the variants in a gene network together.

  We propose a new framework for gene discovery entitled Un Phenotype Ensembles. It builds a redundant yet highly expressive representation by pooling a set of phenotypes learned in an unsupervised manner. These phenotypes are then analyzed via (GWAS), retaining only highly confident and stable associations.

Random forests identified additional SNPs that were not prioritized by the linear models but are known to be associated with brain-related disorders.
