Genetic Variant

Genetic variants, variations in DNA sequences among individuals, are central to understanding disease susceptibility and phenotypic diversity. Current research focuses on developing robust methods for analyzing and interpreting these variants, leveraging machine learning techniques like graph neural networks and deep learning models to analyze large-scale genomic datasets and predict variant effects. This work is crucial for improving the accuracy of polygenic risk scores, facilitating personalized medicine, and advancing our understanding of complex diseases by integrating genomic data with other modalities like neuroimaging. The ultimate goal is to translate these advancements into improved diagnostics, prognostics, and treatment strategies.
