Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gene detection management, and particularly to a gene detection management system and method. Background Art
[0002] With the development of bioinformatics and artificial intelligence technologies, gene detection has been widely applied in the fields of medical diagnosis, precision medicine, and drug research and development. Gene detection data contains rich genetic information, and its analysis results can be used for key applications such as disease risk assessment, genetic disease screening, and personalized treatment.
[0003] Currently, the analysis of gene detection data mainly relies on the collection and modeling of real genomic data. However, the acquisition of real gene detection data has the following limitations: First, gene data has a high degree of privacy, and directly sharing and using real data may lead to the risk of privacy leakage. Second, gene detection data presents high-dimensional, sparse, and complex characteristics, and traditional statistical modeling methods are difficult to simultaneously consider the global distribution characteristics and the expression patterns of local key gene loci, resulting in limited quality and applicability of data generation. In addition, due to the fact that disease research and drug screening application scenarios usually require large-scale gene data, however, limited by the collection cost and ethical restrictions of real data, existing methods are difficult to obtain sufficient high-quality samples, which affects the in-depth development of gene detection research.
[0004] In recent years, data generation methods based on deep learning, such as generative adversarial networks and variational autoencoders, have begun to be applied to the synthesis of gene detection data. However, existing methods still have deficiencies in practical applications: First, the GAN training process is prone to mode collapse, and the diversity of generated data is limited, making it difficult to comprehensively cover the complex variation characteristics of real gene data. Second, the data generated by VAE is prone to the problem of over-smoothing and is difficult to accurately capture the high-order dependence structure of gene data.
[0005] In summary, existing gene detection data generation methods still have obvious deficiencies in privacy protection, high-fidelity data generation, and complex structure learning, and are difficult to meet the needs of medical research, precision medicine, and multi-institutional data sharing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new method that can improve the quality of gene detection data generation while ensuring data privacy and security, making the synthetic data closer to real data in statistical characteristics, mutation patterns, and biological characteristics, and being applicable to medical research, drug development, and cross-institutional data sharing scenarios.

Synthetic data with real statistical characteristics but without the original individual identity information is generated through the Diffusion model, enabling it to be shared and analyzed under the premise of data privacy protection.

[0150] Example 1:
[0151] During the period from June 2024 to December 2024, a well-known domestic oncology research center (hereinafter referred to as the "research center") faced the problem of gene data sharing and privacy protection in the research of lung cancer targeted therapy. The research center joined forces with three hospitals to jointly participate in the research on the EGFR gene mutation pattern of non-small cell lung cancer patients. However, since the patient's gene test data belongs to sensitive privacy information, the hospitals cannot directly share the real gene sequencing data of the patients, resulting in difficulties in promoting cross-institutional research.
[0152] Under this background, the research center decided to adopt the method of the present invention, a high-fidelity synthetic gene test data generation technology based on the Diffusion model, to generate high-quality synthetic gene data in a safe and compliant manner for the research team to conduct targeted drug screening, gene mutation pattern analysis, and cross-institutional collaborative research.
[0153] On June 10, 2024, the research center obtained the gene test data of 4500 NSCLC patients from the cooperative hospitals. The data format is a standardized VCF file, and each file records the whole-genome sequencing information of the patients, including mutation sites, gene expression levels, and structural variation content.
[0154] After obtaining the data, the research team first pre-processed the data, including:
[0155] Format conversion: Convert the VCF data into a standardized high-dimensional gene test data matrix to ensure that the data formats of different hospitals are consistent.
[0156] Noise filtering: Remove low-quality data with a sequencing depth lower than 30x and eliminate false-positive mutations caused by sequencing errors.
[0157] Key gene screening: Based on the mutation frequency analysis, select the key genes of EGFR, KRAS, TP53, and ALK with high mutation frequencies related to lung cancer.
[0158] After data cleaning and standardization processing, the research team obtained a standardized data set containing 4500 patients and 15000 gene loci, and stored it in a securely isolated computing environment to ensure that patient privacy is not leaked.

[0189] This embodiment successfully verified the effectiveness of the method of the present invention. The Diffusion model performs excellently in generating synthetic gene detection data, with a mutation pattern matching degree of 96.5% with the real data, a gene expression correlation as high as 0.92, and an identifiable rate in the privacy attack test lower than 0.5%. Through the method of the present invention, the research team completed the screening of EGFR-targeted drugs without using real patient data and promoted the joint research of three hospitals through the medical data sharing platform, providing a safe and efficient solution for future precision medicine and data sharing.
[0190] In the global pre-training stage of the present invention, the mutation frequency and expression correlation of gene loci are calculated to screen out key gene loci, which are divided into different regional levels, enabling the Diffusion model to perform local optimization for data characteristics in different regions. Through hierarchical processing and regional fine-tuning, the model can achieve more accurate data generation in key gene regions, effectively reducing the KL divergence between synthetic data and real data, improving the fitting degree of the mutation site distribution. Compared with the traditional Diffusion generation method without regional optimization, the mutation pattern matching degree has increased by 13.5%, and the expression consistency of key gene loci has increased by 9.8%.
[0191] In the reverse generation process of the Diffusion model of the present invention, prior knowledge constraints in bioinformatics are introduced, including gene expression levels, mutation rates, and key loci related to specific disease phenotypes, enabling the generated synthetic gene detection data to conform to biological laws. The prior constraint function is used to regulate the denoising process to ensure the biological consistency of the data during generation. When generating tumor-related gene data, the present invention can dynamically adjust the mutation frequency to conform to the mutation pattern of a specific cancer subtype, while maintaining a reasonable co-expression relationship in the gene expression correlation matrix.
[0192] In the process of generating data, the present invention combines a privacy protection mechanism, adopting differential privacy and data de-identification strategies to ensure that the generated data can meet the needs of medical research without disclosing individual identity information. Synthetic data with real statistical characteristics but without the original individual identity information is generated through the Diffusion model, enabling it to be shared and analyzed under the premise of data privacy protection.
[0193] As mentioned above, the above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and all should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
