Genome-wide association studies of ischemic stroke based on interpretable machine learning.

ABSTRACT: Despite the identification of several dozen genetic loci associated with ischemic stroke (IS), the genetic bases of this disease remain largely unexplored. In this research we present the results of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) based on classical statistical testing and machine learning algorithms (logistic regression, gradient boosting on decision trees, and tabular deep learning model TabNet). To build a consensus on the results obtained by different techniques, the Pareto-Optimal solution was proposed and applied. These methods were applied to real genotypic data of sick and healthy individuals of European ancestry obtained from the Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (5,581 individuals, 883,749 single nucleotide polymorphisms). Finally, 131 genes were identified as candidate
