Functional biological paths altered in Alzheimer’s disease: from genes to bile acids
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Large-scale genome wide association studies (GWASs) have been performed in search for risk genes for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Despite the significant progress, replicability of genetic findings and their translation into targetable mechanisms related to the disease pathogenesis remains a challenge. Given that bile acids have been suggested in recent metabolic studies as potential age-related metabolic factors associated with AD, we integrated genomic and metabolomic data together with heterogeneous biological networks and investigated the potential cascade of effect of genetic variations to proteins, bile acids and ultimately AD brain phenotypes. Particularly, we leveraged functional protein interaction networks and metabolic networks and focused on the genes directly interacting with AD-altered bile acids and their functional regulators. We examined the association of all the SNPs located in those candidate genes with AD brain imaging phenotypes, and identified multiple AD risk SNPs whose downstream genes and bile acids were also found to be altered in AD. These AD related markers span from genetics to metabolomics, forming functional biological paths connecting across multiple-omics layers, and give valuable insights into the underlying mechanism of AD.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
