• Abstract summary: Genotype imputation enhances genetic data by predicting missing SNPs using reference haplotype information. We introduce a baseline for a novel genotype imputation pipeline that supports client-sided imputation models generalizable across any genotyping chip and genomic region. We demonstrate that simple linear regression can significantly improve the accuracy of PRS313 scores when calculated using SNPs imputed from consumer gene panels, such as 23andMe.

• Abstract: Genotype imputation enhances genetic data by predicting missing SNPs using reference haplotype information. Traditional methods leverage linkage disequilibrium (LD) to infer untyped SNP genotypes, relying on the similarity of LD structures between genotyped target sets and fully sequenced reference panels. Recently, reference-free deep learning-based methods have emerged, offering a promising alternative by predicting missing genotypes without external databases, thereby enhancing privacy and accessibility. However, these methods often produce models with tens of millions of parameters, leading to challenges such as the need for substantial computational resources to train and inefficiency for client-sided deployment. Our study addresses these limitations by introducing a baseline for a novel genotype imputation pipeline that supports client-sided imputation models generalizable across any genotyping chip and genomic region. This approach enhances patient privacy by performing imputation directly on edge devices. As a case study, we focus on PRS313, a polygenic risk score comprising 313 SNPs used for breast cancer risk prediction. Utilizing consumer genetic panels such as 23andMe, our model democratizes access to personalized genetic insights by allowing 23andMe users to obtain their PRS313 score. We demonstrate that simple linear regression can significantly improve the accuracy of PRS313 scores when calculated using SNPs imputed from consumer gene panels, such as 23andMe. Our linear regression model achieved an R^2 of 0.86, compared to 0.33 without imputation and 0.28 with simple imputation (substituting missing SNPs with the minor allele frequency). These findings suggest that popular SNP analysis libraries could benefit from integrating linear regression models for genotype imputation, providing a viable and light-weight alternative to reference based imputation.

  Deep learning has become the mainstream methodological choice for analyzing and interpreting whole-slide digital pathology images. In this paper, we proposed an unsupervised clustering-based multiple-instance learning, and apply our method to develop deep-learning models for prediction of gene mutations using WSIs from three cancer types. We showed that unsupervised clustering of image patches could help identify predictive patches, exclude patches lack of predictive information, and therefore improve prediction on gene mutations in all three different cancer types.

Our proposed method is less susceptible to the generalizability problem, and thus can improve overall performance of different DL-based DIR models.
