Since only a minority of cases are captured by direct detection methods (RT-PCR or antigen tests), serological assays play an important role in the diagnostic process. However, individual assays can suffer from low sensitivity and specificity and interpreting results from multiple assays remains challenging, particularly because interpretations from multiple assays may differ, creating uncertainty over how to generate finalized interpretations. We develop a Bayesian mixture model that can jointly model data from multiple paired serological assays, to infer infection events from paired serological data. We first test the performance of our model using simulated data. We then apply our model to 677 pairs of acute and convalescent serum collected as a part of illness and household investigations across two longitudinal cohort studies in Kamphaeng Phet, Thailand, including data from 232 RT-PCR confirmed infections (gold standard). We compare the classification of the new model to prior standard interpretations that independently utilize information from either the hemagglutination inhibition assay (HAI) or the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (EIA). We find that additional serological assays improve accuracy of infection detection for both simulated and real world data. Models incorporating paired IgG and IgM data as well as those incorporating IgG, IgM, and HAI data consistently have higher accuracy when using PCR confirmed infections as a gold standard (87-90% F1 scores, a combined metric of sensitivity and specificity) than currently implemented cut-point approaches (82-84% F1 scores). Our results provide a probabilistic framework through which multiple serological assays across different platforms can be leveraged across sequential serum samples to provide insight into whether individuals have recently experienced a DENV infection. These methods are applicable to other pathogen systems where multiple serological assays can be leveraged to quantify infection history.</p>","PeriodicalId":94281,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11661395/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142879299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While recent advancement in classical phenotyping-guided pharmacotherapies have shown clinical value, they are less embraced by healthcare providers within the precision medicine framework, primarily due to their operational complexity and lack of granularity. From this perspective, several recent review articles highlighted the importance of obesity deep phenotyping for personalized precision medicine. In view of the established role of electronic health record (EHR) as an important data source for clinical phenotypings, we offer an in-depth analysis of the commonly available data elements from obesity patients prior to pharmacotherapy.

The classic Multi-Stage Clonal Expansion (MSCE) model assumes cancer detection at the emergence of the first malignant cell, although later modifications have included lag-times or stochasticity in detection to more realistically represent tumor detection requiring a certain size threshold. Here, we introduce an approach to explicitly incorporate tumor-size-at-diagnosis in the MSCE framework and account for improvements in cancer detection over time to distinguish between apparent and true increases in early-onset cancer incidence. We demonstrate that our model is structurally identifiable and provides better parameter estimation than the classic model. Applying this model to colorectal, female breast, and thyroid cancers, we examine changes in cancer risk while accounting for detection improvements over time in three representative birth cohorts (1950-1954, 1965-1969, and 1980-1984). Our analyses suggest accelerated carcinogenic events and shorter mean sojourn times in more recent cohorts. We further use this model to examine the screening impact on the incidence of breast and colorectal cancers, both having established screening protocols. Our results align with well-documented differences in screening effects between these two cancers.

We conducted an epigenome-wide association analysis of heteroplasmy burden scores across 10,986 participants (mean age 77, 63% women, and 54% non-White races/ethnicities) from seven population-based observational cohorts. We identified 412 CpGs (FDR p < 0.05) associated with mtDNA heteroplasmy. Higher levels of heteroplasmy burden were associated with lower nDNA methylation levels at most significant CpGs. Functional inference analyses of genes annotated to heteroplasmy-associated CpGs emphasized mitochondrial functions and showed enrichment in cardiometabolic conditions and traits. We developed CpG-scores based on heteroplasmy-count associated CpGs (MHC-CpG scores) using elastic net Cox regression in a training cohort. A one-unit higher level of the standardized MHC-CpG scores were associated with 1.26-fold higher hazard of all-cause mortality (95% CI: 1.14, 1.39) and 1.09-fold higher hazard of CVD (95% CI: 1.01-1.17) in the meta-analysis of testing cohorts, adjusting for age, sex, and smoking. These findings shed light on the relationship between mtDNA heteroplasmy and DNA methylation, and the role of heteroplasmy-associated CpGs as biomarkers in predicting all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":94281,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11643249/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142831551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
