Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Identifying individuals at high risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is crucial as disease-delaying medications are available. Here we report a microRNA (miRNA)-based dynamic (responsive to the environment) risk score developed using multicenter, multiethnic and multicountry ('multicontext') cohorts for T1D risk stratification. Discovery (wet and dry lab) analysis identified 50 miRNAs associated with functional β cell loss, which is a hallmark of T1D. These miRNAs measured across n = 2,204 individuals from four contexts (4C: Australia, Denmark, Hong Kong SAR People's Republic of China, India) led to a four-context, miRNA-based dynamic risk score (DRS) that effectively stratified individuals with and without T1D. Generative artificial intelligence was used to create an enhanced four-context, miRNA-based DRS, which offered good predictive power (area under the curve = 0.84) for T1D stratification in a separate multicontext validation dataset (n = 662), and accurately predicted future exogenous insulin requirement at 1 hour of islet transplantation. In a clinical trial assessing the imatinib drug therapy, baseline miRNA signature, rather than clinical characteristics, distinguished drug responders from nonresponders at 1 year. This study harnessed machine learning/generative artificial intelligence approaches, identifying and validating a miRNA-based DRS for T1D discrimination and treatment efficacy prediction.

Not 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.
