Unsupervised deep-learning image phenotypes (UDIPs) from brain MRI show stable and replicable results across different datasets and training conditions. These findings support their use in imaging genetics for linking brain structure to genetic variation.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Genetics
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Unsupervised deep learning generates image phenotypes from brain MRI to advance imaging genetics.
  • Replicability of these phenotypes across datasets is crucial but insufficiently evaluated.
  • Concerns exist about whether phenotypes reflect robust biology or training artifacts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the replicability and stability of unsupervised deep-learning image phenotypes.
  • To evaluate phenotype stability across variations in model initialization, data partitioning, and independent datasets.
  • To confirm if these phenotypes capture robust biological structure.

Main Methods:

  • Trained multiple Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Vision Transformer (ViT) models with varied random seeds and cross-validation splits.

  • Derived representations from a separate UK Biobank (UKB) cohort (N = 22,985).
  • Assessed representation stability using centered kernel alignment (CKA) and kernel canonical correlation analysis (KCCA), and genetic discovery stability using loci overlap ratio.

    • Main Results:

    • ViT models demonstrated significantly higher representation stability (mean CKA 0.74, KCCA 0.84) compared to random initialized models (CKA 0.27, KCCA 0.60).
    • Genetic discovery stability was also significantly higher for ViT models (loci overlap ratio 0.45) versus random models (0.08).
    • Unsupervised deep-learning image phenotypes (UDIPs) showed statistically significant stability across training perturbations and preserved biologically meaningful structure across cohorts.

    Conclusions:

    • Unsupervised deep-learning image phenotypes exhibit significant stability across diverse training conditions and independent datasets.
    • These phenotypes preserve biologically meaningful structure, validating their utility in imaging genetics.
    • The findings support the robust application of UDIPs for linking brain structure to genetic variation.
