Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Classification of Illness

Classification of Illness

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe and...

Area of Science:

Bioinformatics
Computational Biology
Genomics

Background:

Whole genome expression profiles are crucial for identifying molecular disease subtypes.
A key challenge is linking subtypes across independent datasets from different platforms.
Supervised learning methods can be biased, potentially missing important substructure in test data.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce SubMap, an unsupervised subclass mapping method.
To reveal common molecular subtypes between independent biological datasets.
To overcome limitations of biased supervised learning approaches.

Main Methods:

Developed SubMap, an unsupervised subclass mapping technique.
Utilized a bi-directional approach to identify common substructures without imposing data structure.
Defined a measure of subtype correspondence and evaluated significance using gene set enrichment analysis.

Main Results:

SubMap successfully identified common subtypes across independent cancer-related datasets.
The method revealed common breast cancer subtypes linked to estrogen receptor status.
Identified a lymphoma patient subgroup with similar survival patterns, enhancing clinical outcome prediction.

Conclusions:

SubMap is an effective unsupervised method for discovering common disease subtypes across independent datasets.
The bi-directional approach mitigates bias and highlights inherent biological commonalities.
SubMap improves the accuracy of clinical outcome prediction by leveraging shared molecular patterns.
