AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing diagnostic methods for CRC, such as colonoscopy, fecal occult blood test, and imaging techniques, have risks of perforation, false positive results, and radiation side effects. Furthermore, the ML method based on gut microbiota has a high misdiagnosis rate, making new diagnostic methods urgently needed.

Method used

By analyzing the peripheral blood TCR database and utilizing machine learning models, especially the random forest algorithm, a diagnostic model is constructed based on the VJ gene combination characteristics of the TCRβ chain to identify TCR database features related to CRC and achieve accurate diagnosis of CRC.

Benefits of technology

It achieves high sensitivity and high specificity in CRC diagnosis, with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.9798 and an accuracy of 95%, which is significantly better than traditional methods and has the potential for non-invasive and efficient diagnosis.

Abstract

开发了基于机器学习(ML)的方法,用于基于从对人外周血T细胞受体(TCR)库进行TCR测序获得的序列来诊断结直肠癌(CRC)。确定序列中的TRBV和TRBJ基因使用并将其进行组合以产生多个TRBV‑TRBJ组合,该组合是代表该TCR库的TCRβ链的V基因区段和J基因区段的配对的多个V‑J基因组合特征。确定指示该序列中单个TRBV‑TRBJ组合的相对丰度的分数,以经由将每个TRBV‑TRBJ组合和与其相关的分数配对来形成该多个TRBV‑TRBJ组合的TRBV‑TRBJ基因组合分数表。使用ML模型如随机森林模型将该分数表分类为阳性类和阴性类。阳性类指示人被诊断患有CRC。
