Identifying frequency-dependent imaging genetic associations via hypergraph-structured multi-task sparse canonical correlation analysis
COMPUTERS IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE(2024)
Abstract
Identifying complex associations between genetic variations and imaging phenotypes is a challenging task in the research of brain imaging genetics. The previous study has proved that neuronal oscillations within distinct frequency bands are derived from frequency -dependent genetic modulation. Thus it is meaningful to explore frequency -dependent imaging genetic associations, which may give important insights into the pathogenesis of brain disorders. In this work, the hypergraph-structured multi -task sparse canonical correlation analysis (HS-MTSCCA) was developed to explore the associations between multi -frequency imaging phenotypes and single -nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Specifically, we first created a hypergraph for the imaging phenotypes of each frequency and the SNPs, respectively. Then, a new hypergraph-structured constraint was proposed to learn high -order relationships among features in each hypergraph, which can introduce biologically meaningful information into the model. The frequency -shared and frequency -specific imaging phenotypes and SNPs could be identified using the multi -task learning framework. We also proposed a useful strategy to tackle this algorithm and then demonstrated its convergence. The proposed method was evaluated on four simulation datasets and a real schizophrenia dataset. The experimental results on synthetic data showed that HS-MTSCCA outperforms the other competing methods according to canonical correlation coefficients, canonical weights, and cosine similarity. And the results on real data showed that HS-MTSCCA could obtain superior canonical coefficients and canonical weights. Furthermore, the identified frequency -shared and frequency -specific biomarkers could provide more interesting and meaningful information, demonstrating that HS-MTSCCA is a powerful method for brain imaging genetics.
