Unraveling the link between PTBP1 and severe asthma through machine learning and association rule mining method
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Severe asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease with great therapeutic challenges. Understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms of severe asthma may help identify therapeutic strategies for this complex condition. RNA expression data were analyzed using a combination of artificial intelligence methods to identify novel genes related to severe asthma. Through the ANOVA feature selection approach, 100 candidate genes were selected among 54,715 mRNAs in blood samples of patients with severe asthmatic and healthy groups. A deep learning model was used to validate the significance of the candidate genes. The accuracy, F1-score, AUC-ROC, and precision of the 100 genes were 83%, 0.86, 0.89, and 0.9, respectively. To discover hidden associations among selected genes, association rule mining was applied. The top 20 genes including the PTBP1, RAB11FIP3, APH1A, and MYD88 were recognized as the most frequent items among severe asthma association rules. The PTBP1 was found to be the most frequent gene associated with severe asthma among those 20 genes. PTBP1 was the gene most frequently associated with severe asthma among candidate genes. Identification of master genes involved in the initiation and development of asthma can offer novel targets for its diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted-signaling therapy.

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.
