Background:

High dimensionality of neuroimaging and genetic data poses challenges for association studies.
Neural networks show promise for predictive modeling in neuroimaging.
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) prediction requires integrating diverse data types.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a neuroimaging-genetic pipeline for AD prediction.
To extract disease-relevant features from neuroimaging data using neural networks.
To associate these features with genetic data for enhanced disease understanding.

Main Methods:

A neural network classifier was used for data-driven feature extraction from neuroimaging data.
A multivariate regression with Bayesian priors was employed for genetic association analysis.
The pipeline integrates image processing, feature extraction, and genetic association.

Main Results:

Features extracted by the proposed method demonstrated superior predictive power for AD compared to existing methods.
The neuroimaging-genetic pipeline identified novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) relevant to AD.
Overlapping and distinct SNPs were identified when compared to previous feature sets.

Conclusions:

The proposed pipeline effectively combines machine learning and Bayesian statistics for robust genetic association.
Automatic feature extraction offers advantages over traditional region-of-interest or voxelwise analyses.
This approach can uncover novel disease-relevant SNPs potentially missed by conventional methods.
