[0031] Embodiment 1

[0041] Embodiment 2

[0042] The Mendelian randomization method for assessing the effect of social activities on breast cancer risk included the following steps:

[0043] S1: Data collection and integration: Comprehensively collect genetic polymorphism data related to social isolation and interaction and genetic information of breast cancer patients from multiple high-quality data sources, and intelligently screen and integrate them to form a complete data set;

[0044] S2: Data preprocessing and quality control: The collected data is carefully preprocessed, including data cleaning, integration, formatting and quality control processes. Data cleaning is used to remove duplicate, erroneous or missing data. Data integration is used to merge data from different sources into a unified data set. Data formatting is used to convert data into a format suitable for subsequent analysis. Quality control is used to detect and correct errors and outliers in the data to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data.

[0045] S3: Feature extraction and dimensionality reduction: Extract features and reduce dimensionality of preprocessed data to simplify data and improve analysis efficiency. This step may include the application of principal component analysis, cluster analysis and other methods;

[0046] S4: Two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis: Using the high-quality data after preprocessing, perform a complex two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis to reveal the potential causal relationship between social isolation, social interaction and breast cancer. This step may include the application of multiple statistical methods such as the inverse variance weighting method, MR Egger method and weighted median method;

[0047] S5: Result verification and optimization: Verify and optimize the analysis results to improve the accuracy and reliability of the analysis. This step may include sensitivity analysis, robustness testing, and the application of machine learning algorithms.

[0048] S6: Result output and interpretation: Present the analysis results to the user in an intuitive and understandable way. This step may include generating output forms such as charts, reports, and explanatory texts. Charts and reports are used to intuitively display the key information of the analysis results, and explanatory texts are used to explain and illustrate the analysis results in detail, helping users to deeply understand the complex relationship between social activities and breast cancer risk.

[0049] Specifically, the preprocessing in step S2 also includes strict control and standardization of data quality. Through comprehensive quality testing and correction, the accuracy and consistency of the data are ensured. At the same time, data from different sources and in different formats are converted into a unified format to facilitate subsequent analysis and comparison.

[0050] Through the above technical solutions, strict control of data quality is the key to ensuring the accuracy of the final analysis results. This step not only involves removing duplicate, erroneous or missing data, but more deeply, it also includes the detection and correction of errors and outliers in the data. Erroneous data may come from clerical errors during data entry, equipment failure or distortion in data transmission, while outliers may be caused by sample specificity, measurement errors or extreme events. By applying statistical methods and data cleaning algorithms, such as conditional screening, data smoothing, interpolation or machine learning-based anomaly detection models, we can effectively identify and correct these problem data, thereby maintaining the integrity and reliability of the data set.

[0051] Specifically, the two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis in step S4 uses at least one of the inverse variance weighted method, the MR Egger method and the weighted median method for analysis. The selection and combination of these methods are based on the characteristics of the data and the analysis objectives. At the same time, this step also has the ability to perform sensitivity analysis and robustness testing on the analysis results to further verify and optimize the analysis results.

[0052] Through the above technical scheme, the inverse variance weighting method improves the statistical power of the analysis by assigning a weight to each genetic variant based on the accuracy of its effect estimate and integrating the results of multiple genetic variants. This method is particularly suitable when the strength of association between most genetic variants and conditions such as social activities and breast cancer is similar; the MR Egger method specifically considers the potential horizontal pleiotropy problem, that is, genetic variants may affect multiple phenotypes at the same time, including variables other than exposure variables and outcome variables. By introducing a regression model, the MR Egger method can reduce this bias and provide a more robust causal effect estimate; the weighted median method is a more conservative analysis strategy that focuses on calculating the median of all genetic variant effect estimates, thereby reducing the impact of extreme values ​​on the overall results. This method is particularly useful when there are a few strong-effect genetic variants or when there is large heterogeneity in the data.

[0053] Specifically, the output results in step S6 include not only key information such as the degree of association between five social activities, such as frequent attendance at bars and social clubs, frequent attendance at sports clubs and gyms, loneliness and solitude (MTAG), and breast cancer risk, the corresponding confidence intervals and p-values, but may also cover other complex factors related to social activities and their impact on breast cancer risk. At the same time, the explanatory text provides a detailed explanation and description of the analysis results, including the meaning, importance and possible biological explanations of the results, etc., to provide users with valuable reference information.

[0054] Through the above technical scheme, this study conducted a two-sample MR analysis based on the sample size (genetic diversity sample size 302,567-487,647, BC sample size 212,402), and found that frequent visits to bars and social clubs were the only social participation activities associated with an increased risk of breast cancer (BC). The IVW OR of frequent visits to bars and social clubs was 1.11 per standard deviation change, with a 95% confidence interval of 1.03-1.19 and a P value of 0.006. The output results not only covered the association between frequent visits to bars and social clubs, frequent visits to sports clubs and gyms and the risk of breast cancer, but also considered the impact of the subjective feeling of loneliness (represented by the loneliness genetic risk score MTAG) on the risk of breast cancer. These output results are presented in intuitive graphical forms (such as scatter plots, forest plots or bar graphs) and detailed explanatory texts to help users quickly understand the strength and direction of the association between each social activity and the risk of breast cancer, as well as the statistical significance of this association.

[0055] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit thereof, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
