Complex gene-gene interactions are crucial for common human diseases, often overshadowing traditional genetics. Machine learning methods offer powerful tools for identifying these genetic interactions in complex diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Computational Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Complex human diseases arise from intricate gene-gene and gene-environment interactions.
  • These interactions are increasingly recognized as the primary drivers of disease etiology, rather than minor deviations from Mendelian genetics.
  • Traditional statistical approaches struggle with high-dimensional data and detecting interactions involving multiple genetic factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review machine-learning (ML) models and algorithms for identifying gene-gene interactions in complex human diseases.
  • To highlight ML methods suitable for high-dimensional genetic data and multi-locus interactions.
  • To discuss the integration of ML for data mining and knowledge discovery in human genetics.

Main Methods:
