Area of Science:

Genomics
Bioinformatics
Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

High-throughput genomic studies often overlook single-patient clinical evaluation needs.
Batch effects in gene expression data can compromise diagnostic accuracy.
NanoString technology is increasingly used in molecular diagnostics.

Purpose of the Study:

To address the lack of single-patient applicability in high-throughput genomic studies.
To develop a batch effect correction strategy for NanoString gene expression data.
To improve the performance of molecular classifiers for clinical use.

Main Methods:

Examined sources of variation in NanoString data from ovarian cancer and Hodgkin lymphoma patients.
Developed and applied a reference-based strategy for batch effect correction.
Evaluated the strategy's impact on an established Hodgkin lymphoma classifier.

Main Results:

The proposed reference-based strategy effectively corrected batch effects.
Performance of the Hodgkin lymphoma classifier improved, with reduced batch-to-batch misclassification.
Accuracy and precision of the classifier were maintained.

Conclusions:

The developed strategy is applicable to single-patient molecular testing.
This approach can facilitate the development and clinical adoption of NanoString and similar assays.
Accelerated validation and uptake of molecular diagnostics are anticipated.
