AI identifies new genetic factors in Alzheimer's research.
Great to see #DPUK colleague Valentina Escott-Price (@cardiffuni) as part of this research with @UniofOxford & KU Leuven teams, using machine learning to uncover 6 new Alzheimer's-linked genes from 250,000 genetic variants zurl.co/T4VbK
Machine learning in Alzheimer’s disease genetics - Nature Communications
Here the authors apply machine learning approaches to Alzheimer’s genetics, confirm known associations and suggest novel risk loci. These methods demonstrate predictive power comparable to traditional approaches, while also offering potential new insights beyond standard genetic analyses.
