An Ensemble Approach to Predict Schizophrenia Using Protein Data in the N-methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor (NMDAR) and Tryptophan Catabolic Pathways.

ABSTRACT: In the wake of recent advances in artificial intelligence research, precision psychiatry using machine learning techniques represents a new paradigm. The D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) protein and its interaction partner, the D-amino acid oxidase activator (DAOA, also known as G72) protein, have been implicated as two key proteins in the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) pathway for schizophrenia. Another potential biomarker in regard to the etiology of schizophrenia is melatonin in the tryptophan catabolic pathway. To develop an ensemble boosting framework with random undersampling for determining disease status of schizophrenia, we established a prediction approach resulting from the analysis of genomic and demographic variables such as DAO levels, G72 levels, melatonin levels, age, and
