ML Based Phenotype Analysis Using Differential Gene Expression Data in Schizophrenia

In this paper, differential gene expression (DGE) data in schizophrenia is analysed using machine learning approaches with the objective of predicting cell phenotypes related to the condition. The dataset contains information on cis eQTNs, gene orientation, probe information, gene expression profiles, and SNP information. When first investigating well-known machine learning methods, a hybrid model combining Random Forests and XGBoost is suggested, however it only offers a little increase. Increases in predicted accuracy of more than 99.12% are made possible by the H2O AutoML package. The results demonstrate the capability of ML-based analysis to unravel the underlying biological mechanisms of schizophrenia and contribute to the design of individualised therapeutic approaches. The paper represents the capability of machine learning to comprehend the relationship between gene expression patterns and complicated illnesses like schizophrenia.
