Construction of genetic classification model for coronary atherosclerosis heart disease using three machine learning methods.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although the diagnostic method for coronary atherosclerosis heart disease (CAD) is constantly innovated, CAD in the early stage is still missed diagnosis for the absence of any symptoms. The gene expression levels varied during disease development; therefore, a classifier based on gene expression might contribute to CAD diagnosis. This study aimed to construct genetic classification models for CAD using gene expression data, which may provide new insight into the understanding of its pathogenesis.

Methods

All statistical analysis was completed by R 3.4.4 software. Three raw gene expression datasets (GSE12288, GSE7638 and GSE66360) related to CAD were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and included for analysis. Limma package was performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between CAD samples and healthy controls. The WGCNA package was conducted to recognize CAD-related gene modules and hub genes, followed by recursive feature elimination analysis to select the optimal features genes (OFGs). The genetic classification models were established using support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF) and logistic regression (LR), respectively. Further validation and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were conducted to evaluate the classification performance.

Results

In total, 374 DEGs, eight gene modules, 33 hub genes and 12 OFGs (HTR4, KISS1, CA12, CAMK2B, KLK2, DDC, CNGB1, DERL1, BCL6, LILRA2, HCK, MTF2) were identified. ROC curve analysis showed that the accuracy of SVM, RF and LR were 75.58%, 63.57% and 63.95% in validation; with area under the curve of 0.813 (95% confidence interval, 95% CI 0.761-0.866, P < 0.0001), 0.727 (95% CI 0.665-0.788, P < 0.0001) and 0.783 (95% CI 0.725-0.841, P < 0.0001), respectively.

Conclusions

In conclusion, this study found 12 gene signatures involved in the pathogenic mechanism of CAD. Among the CAD classifiers constructed by three machine learning methods, the SVM model has the best performance.

Project description:BackgroundMany machine learning approaches are limited to classification of outcomes rather than longitudinal prediction. One strategy to use machine learning in clinical risk prediction is to classify outcomes over a given time horizon. However, it is not well-known how to identify the optimal time horizon for risk prediction.ObjectiveIn this study, we aim to identify an optimal time horizon for classification of incident myocardial infarction (MI) using machine learning approaches looped over outcomes with increasing time horizons. Additionally, we sought to compare the performance of these models with the traditional Framingham Heart Study (FHS) coronary heart disease gender-specific Cox proportional hazards regression model.MethodsWe analyzed data from a single clinic visit of 5201 participants of a cardiovascular health study. We examined 61 variables collected from this baseline exam, including demographic and biologic data, medical history, medications, serum biomarkers, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic data. We compared several machine learning methods (eg, random forest, L1 regression, gradient boosted decision tree, support vector machine, and k-nearest neighbor) trained to predict incident MI that occurred within time horizons ranging from 500-10,000 days of follow-up. Models were compared on a 20% held-out testing set using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Variable importance was performed for random forest and L1 regression models across time points. We compared results with the FHS coronary heart disease gender-specific Cox proportional hazards regression functions.ResultsThere were 4190 participants included in the analysis, with 2522 (60.2%) female participants and an average age of 72.6 years. Over 10,000 days of follow-up, there were 813 incident MI events. The machine learning models were most predictive over moderate follow-up time horizons (ie, 1500-2500 days). Overall, the L1 (Lasso) logistic regression demonstrated the strongest classification accuracy across all time horizons. This model was most predictive at 1500 days follow-up, with an AUROC of 0.71. The most influential variables differed by follow-up time and model, with gender being the most important feature for the L1 regression and weight for the random forest model across all time frames. Compared with the Framingham Cox function, the L1 and random forest models performed better across all time frames beyond 1500 days.ConclusionsIn a population free of coronary heart disease, machine learning techniques can be used to predict incident MI at varying time horizons with reasonable accuracy, with the strongest prediction accuracy in moderate follow-up periods. Validation across additional populations is needed to confirm the validity of this approach in risk prediction.

Project description:BackgroundNear-infrared indocyanine green angiography allows experienced surgeons to reliably evaluate parathyroid gland vitality during thyroid and parathyroid operations in order to predict postoperative function. To facilitate equal performance between surgeons, we developed an automatic computational quantification method using computer vision that portrays expert interpretation of visualized parathyroid gland near-infrared indocyanine green angiographic fluorescence signals.MethodsNear-infrared indocyanine green-parathyroid gland angiography video recordings (Fluobeam® LX, Fluoptics, Grenoble-part of Getinge-Göteborg) from patients undergoing endocrine cervical surgery in a high-volume unit were used for model development. Computation (MATLAB, Mathworks, Ireland) included segmentation-identification of the parathyroid gland (by autofluorescence), image stabilization (by linear translation) and adjusted time-fluorescence intensity profile generation. Relative upslope and maximum intensity ratios then trained a simple logistic regression model based on expert interpretation and outcome (including hypoparathyroidism), with subsequent unseen testing for validation.ResultsThe model was trained on 37 patient videos (45 glands, 29 judged well perfused by parathyroid gland angiography experts), achieving feature data separation with 100% accuracy, and tested on 22 unseen videos (27 glands, 15 judged well perfused), including four in real time. Segmentation-guided parathyroid gland detection correctly identified all parathyroid glands during unseen testing along with three additional non-parathyroid gland regions (90% positive predictive value). Subsequent time-fluorescence intensity profile extraction with vitality prediction was shown feasible in all cases within 5 min, with a 96.3% model accuracy (sensitivity and specificity were 93.3 and 100% respectively) when compared with expert judgement.ConclusionAutomatic parathyroid gland perfusion quantification using simple machine learning computational methods discriminates parathyroid gland perfusion in concordance with expert surgeon interpretation, providing a means for near-infrared indocyanine green-parathyroid gland signal evaluation.

Project description:AimsHeart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex syndrome with a poor prognosis. Phenotyping is required to identify subtype-dependent treatment strategies. Phenotypes of Japanese HFpEF patients are not fully elucidated, whose obesity is much less than Western patients. This study aimed to reveal model-based phenomapping using unsupervised machine learning (ML) for HFpEF in Japanese patients.Methods and resultsWe studied 365 patients with HFpEF (left ventricular ejection fraction >50%) as a derivation cohort from the Nara Registry and Analyses for Heart Failure (NARA-HF), which registered patients with hospitalization by acute decompensated HF. We used unsupervised ML with a variational Bayesian-Gaussian mixture model (VBGMM) with common clinical variables. We also performed hierarchical clustering on the derivation cohort. We adopted 230 patients in the Japanese Heart Failure Syndrome with Preserved Ejection Fraction Registry as the validation cohort for VBGMM. The primary endpoint was defined as all-cause death and HF readmission within 5 years. Supervised ML was performed on the composite cohort of derivation and validation. The optimal number of clusters was three because of the probable distribution of VBGMM and the minimum Bayesian information criterion, and we stratified HFpEF into three phenogroups. Phenogroup 1 (n = 125) was older (mean age 78.9 ± 9.1 years) and predominantly male (57.6%), with the worst kidney function (mean estimated glomerular filtration rate 28.5 ± 9.7 mL/min/1.73 m2 ) and a high incidence of atherosclerotic factor. Phenogroup 2 (n = 200) had older individuals (mean age 78.8 ± 9.7 years), the lowest body mass index (BMI; 22.78 ± 3.94), and the highest incidence of women (57.5%) and atrial fibrillation (56.5%). Phenogroup 3 (n = 40) was the youngest (mean age 63.5 ± 11.2) and predominantly male (63.5 ± 11.2), with the highest BMI (27.46 ± 5.85) and a high incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy. We characterized these three phenogroups as atherosclerosis and chronic kidney disease, atrial fibrillation, and younger and left ventricular hypertrophy groups, respectively. At the primary endpoint, Phenogroup 1 demonstrated the worst prognosis (Phenogroups 1-3: 72.0% vs. 58.5% vs. 45%, P = 0.0036). We also successfully classified a derivation cohort into three similar phenogroups using VBGMM. Hierarchical and supervised clustering successfully showed the reproducibility of the three phenogroups.ConclusionsML could successfully stratify Japanese HFpEF patients into three phenogroups (atherosclerosis and chronic kidney disease, atrial fibrillation, and younger and left ventricular hypertrophy groups).
