This study introduces a new framework for identifying prognostic biomarkers in genomics research by integrating data from multiple studies. The method effectively identifies key pathways and genes, demonstrating superior performance in simulations and real-world cardiovascular disease data analysis.

Area of Science:

Genomics
Biostatistics
Bioinformatics

Background:

Integrative analyses pooling data from diverse sources are crucial in the big data era.
Identifying prognostic biomarkers for diseases using genomics data is a key application area.
Existing methods may not fully leverage multi-study data for robust biomarker discovery.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel framework for pathway and gene identification through integrative analysis.
To enhance the accuracy and reliability of prognostic biomarker discovery across multiple genomic studies.
To develop a statistically rigorous method for selecting important biological pathways and individual genes.

Main Methods:

Hierarchical decomposition of gene effects.
Regularization techniques for selecting important pathways and genes.

Keywords:

Gene and Pathway High dimensional analysis Integrative analysis Variable selection

Asymptotic theory to establish selection consistency.

Main Results:

The proposed method achieves both pathway and gene selection consistency.
Pathway selection consistency requires less stringent statistical conditions than gene selection consistency.
Demonstrated superior finite-sample performance compared to ad hoc methods in simulations.
Successfully applied to analyze five cardiovascular disease studies.

Conclusions:

The developed framework provides a robust approach for integrative pathway and gene identification.
The method offers advantages in biomarker discovery by allowing for more flexible gene-level selection criteria.
The generalizable nature of the method suggests potential applications beyond genomic research, such as group-wise and element-wise selections in other integrative analyses.
