3D genome-selected microRNAs to improve Alzheimer's disease prediction.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a type of neurodegenerative disease that has no effective treatment in its late stage, making the early prediction of AD critical. There have been an increase in the number of studies indicating that miRNAs play an important role in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease via epigenetic modifications including DNA methylation. Therefore, miRNAs may serve as excellent biomarkers in early AD prediction.

Methods

Considering that the non-coding RNAs' activity may be linked to their corresponding DNA loci in the 3D genome, we collected the existing AD-related miRNAs combined with 3D genomic data in this study. We investigated three machine learning models in this work under leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV): support v
