DESCRIPTION Title: Method for diagnosis, prognosis and / or therapeutic monitoring of diseases impacting the mineral profile of at least one biological fluid, as well as a device, a system and software useful for its implementation. Field of the invention
[0001] diagnosis, prognosis and / or therapeutic monitoring of diseases impacting the particular mineral profile of cerebrospinal fluid. These diseases include: . in the case of cerebrospinal fluid, diseases affecting the central nervous system, in particular neurological diseases, such as psychiatric diseases, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. in the case of blood plasma, cancers, neurological diseases, diseases . , diseases linked to surgical complications following complex operations, in particular cardio-. diseases leading to fertility problems and requiring in particular aids for
[0002] a process for diagnosis, prognosis and / or therapeutic monitoring of these diseases.
[0003] of this process. Technological background of the invention
[0004] Neurological diseases [such as neurodegenerative diseases], cancers, fertility problems, heart operations, have a very significant societal impact and represent a growing burden for the community. Identifying these diseases precisely and early enough, establishing a prognosis or therapeutic monitoring forecasts, are crucial challenges for patients and their caregivers and to help the latter propose the most appropriate therapeutic treatments.
[0005] Due to the progressive aging of the population and the lack of curative treatments, the number of people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases has has increased considerably over the past few decades and is expected to grow steadily in the coming years.
[0006] Furthermore, the use of medically assisted procreation will increase steadily in the coming years.
[0007] Cancer and heart disease have also increased significantly in recent years, and the number of patients treated has more than doubled in less than 20 years.
[0008] It is therefore urgent to have better tools for the diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of the effectiveness of treatments for these diseases.
[0009] Early, effective and accurate diagnosis is a priority objective.
[0010] But a diagnosis is often very complex, given the wide variety of possible pathologies. Moreover, information is difficult to obtain, especially when the main problem is the central nervous system, and more specifically the brain.
[0011] The structural and functional alterations of the brain that cause these diseases modify the biochemical composition of the cerebrospinal fluid. The latter may therefore contain biomarkers of these diseases.
[0012] Many diagnoses are already based in part on biochemical analyses and the detection and quantification of certain organic molecules present in the cerebrospinal fluid.
[0013] Known biomarkers of cerebrospinal fluid are organic molecules and especially proteins. For example, Alzheimer's biomarkers are proteins: amyloid 1-42, total tau, phosphorylated tau isoforms, NF-L, S90B, VILIP-1, YKL-40, PAPP-A, albumin.
[0014] EP1907838B1 describes a method for qualifying the state of Alzheimer's disease in a subject, comprising:(a) measuring the concentration of a VGF-1 peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the subject; wherein the VGF-1 peptide is measured by capture on an adsorbent surface of a SELDI probe and detecting the captured peptide by laser desorption / ionization mass spectrometry; and (b) correlating the concentration of the VGF-1 peptide with the state of Alzheimer's disease, or an increased CSF concentration of the VGF-1 peptide is an indicator of Alzheimer's disease. EP1907838B1 also discloses a method for determining the progression of Alzheimer's disease comprising: (a) measuring the LCS concentration of a VGF-1 peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID N degrees 1 in a sample in a first step; (b) measuring the concentration of LCS of VGF peptide-1 in a sample at a second time; and (c) comparing the first measurement and the second measurement; wherein an increased concentration of LCS of VGF peptide-1 in the second measurement indicates progression of Alzheimer's disease. EP19078388B1 finally relates to software installed on a computer comprising: (a) code which allows access to data assigned to a sample, the data comprising the measurement of a VGF peptide-1 consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 1; and (b) code which executes a classification algorithm which assigns the Alzheimer's disease status of the sample, based on the extent to which an increase in VGF peptide-1 is an indicator of Alzheimer's disease.
[0015] delicate in many cases. Molecules are often difficult to detect and quantify. They are not very stable, require precautions for sampling and storage. They can , which makes their detection even more complex. Research has been carried out to try to link the presence of certain studies have measured heavy elements and essential metals in the plasma and / or cerebrospinal fluid of patients with dementia. high variability. As a result, metals are still not considered reliable biomarkers. In addition, mineral sampling processes are often complex. Mineral traces are also very indirectly associated with this type of disease, as causes or consequences of these diseases. For all cerebrospinal fluid, in practice, to diagnose a neurological disease.Objectives of the invention

[0025] Advantageously, the BDR includes data relating to S subjects m=0 (d,p,t) healthy reference subjects and / or subjects (d,p,t)several diseases impacting at least two biological fluids chosen from the group comprising - advantageously consisting of - cerebrospinal fluid, whole blood, lysine, bile.
[0026] one step -S0 ^ - construction of the reference database (RDB) consisting of collect data, including data (i) and / or (ii) and / or data D Sx and store them.
[0027] According to a database includes data relating to at least one control group of healthy subjects S m=0 (d,p,t) reference, of which the total number N tt is greater than or equal to -in ascending order of preference- 100; 500, 1000 and data relating to at least one target group of reference diseased subjects S (d,p,t), whose total number Ntc is greater than or equal to -in ascending order of preference- 50; 500, 1000.
[0028] Advantageously, the mineral elements of the PM mineral profile in the biological fluid of subjects S m=0 (d,p,t) (d,p,t) reference elements comprise at least 3 atomic elements selected from halogens, preferably Cl, Br, I.
[0029] the mineral elements of the PM mineral profile in the biological fluid of S subjects m=0 (d,p,t) (d,p,t) of reference are chosen from a group comprising -advantageously consisting of: at least three alkalis, preferably Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs; at least three alkaline earths, preferably Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba; at least three transition elements, preferably Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Cr, Co, Ni and at least 3 halogens, preferably Cl, Br, I and at least two trace elements, advantageously chosen from Al, Ti, Zr, Pb, La, Ce, Gd, U.
[0030] By "trace element" is meant, for example, within the meaning of this presentation, an element present in the biological fluid, in a mass concentration less than or equal to 10 µg / L, and preferably in more than 95, or even 99% of cases.
[0031] conventional clinical data relating to S subjects m=0 (d,p,t) and / or Sm 1(d,p,t) of reference, these data (ii) include and gender.
[0032] Preferably, S4 is semi-quantitative, with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, or ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) being preferred.
[0033] Quickly, semi-
[0034] -quantitative according to fluid, preferably biological fluid, consists essentially of: S4.1-: - preferably a biological fluid;- comprising at least one negative control sample - that is, containing one or more positive control elements defined below, in a mass concentration, eg less than or equal to 1 ppb; - comprising at least one positive control sample comprising one or more positive control mineral elements, at least a portion of which have atomic masses and at least a portion of which have atomic masses greater than or equal to; ^ the number N emt ascending order of preference: N emt ..^ 10; N emt ..^ 20 ; N emt ..^ 25 ; S4.2- Measurement, using the device, of the concentrations of mineral elements in the negative standard; S4.3- Measurement, using the device, of the concentrations of positive control mineral elements in the positive standard, S4.4- Calibration, preferably 2-point calibration; production of straight lines, from the concentrations fixed for the N emtpositive control mineral elements; S4.5- Possibly calculation of N concentrations emt positive control mineral elements, from the curves, preferably from; S4.6- Calculation of the concentration of analyte mineral elements in the population of calibrations of the concentrations of N emt - .
[0035] This semi-quantitative analytical approach aims to measure indicators in biological fluids, expressed in concentrations, which take into account both the generated by the samples. Matrix effects are linked to the nature of the matrices constituting the samples, eg, viscosity, charges in
[0036] Thanks to good measurement fidelity / repeatability, the traceability of the results, and thus their comparability, are guaranteed in relation to an established reference, which can be, for example, a set of biological fluids (cerebrospinal fluid, plasma, etc.)
[0037] The accuracy of measurements is also improved.
[0038] (measurement of concentration in a biological fluid) 10 to 50, preferably 20 to 40, and, for example, 28 mineral elements, chemical incompatibilities that would require multiplying the standards in a quantitative approach. For example, standards including metal fluorides (Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta, Mo, Si, Sn, Ge) are incompatible with the presence of earths.
[0039] semi-quantitative can, for example, also be defined as follows: the response factors expressed in equivalent concentrations, in mineral elements are determined on a measurement scale ranging eg from 0.01 µg / L to 10 g / L, using a semi-quantitative method with a standard ranging eg from 20 to 40 elements whose concentration in a biological fluid is eg10 to 30 µg / L, this standard comprising, for example, 28 elements at 20 µg / L and a negative control (a blank) eg consisting of 1% nitric acid. With this semi-quantitative approach, it is easy to determine the response factors expressed in equivalent concentrations in a biological fluid, of several dozen eg different mineral elements. The accuracy and robustness of the method have been validated by multiple tests.
[0040] For the 28 elements present in the standard, the concentration is calculated at the concentration is interpolated from that of the elements present in the calibration standard, by applying response factors, which depend on their mass and their isotopic abundances,
[0041] This provides a rich sampling for the selection of classes or subclasses of mineral elements relevant for diagnosis, prognosis and / or therapeutic monitoring. It should be noted that halogens, preferably Cl, Br, I, soluble anions are very interesting for monitoring the different biological balances and anion pumps.
[0042] Semi-quantitative analysis is particularly suitable for the creation of data (i) of mineral profiles, intended to be stored in the BDR and exploitable by statistical processing and / or by AI (chemometrics).
[0043] Indeed, the concentration of mineral elements in patients' biological fluids is often very variable. And if certain main minerals and trace elements evolve in a well-defined domain and have a homeostasis which limits their deviation from vary over several orders of magnitude, often with concentration differences of more than 1000, on certain elements, between healthy subjects S m=0reference and / or reference sick subjects treated or not (patients) - quantitative allows to measure sufficiently precisely and above all in a sufficiently reproducible way, for patients. By using a simplified sample preparation (for example simple critical for trace elements) and an ICP analyzer - a simple general multi-elemental calibration (without necessary use it is possible to obtain a multimineral profile differentiating minerals, X corresponding to - in ascending order of preference - 3, 5, 10, 15, 15, 20, 25, 30, for example, usable for a database. With a variability in the value obtained which can be less than 5% for the main elements and less than 20% for the trace elements.
[0044] It is nevertheless possible to carry out a more precise quantification of certain elements of interest. To do this, a calibration range specific to the concentrations of the elements is carried out. The semi-quantitative and quantitative results are then obtained in parallel and in a single acquisition for a sample and can be compared.

These categories / subcategories are "targets" / "sub-targets" or "targets" / "sub-targets", within the framework of the decision process involving statistical representations or artificial intelligence, specific to , in particular neurological, impacting the mineral composition of the cerebrospinal fluid.
[0098] For the 1296 healthy subjects S m=0 (d,p,t) or sick (d,p,t) reference of this example, the diagnostic categories S m (d) specific are five in number, namely: (d1) sick subjects (d,p,t) affected by at least one neurodegenerative disease, (d2) sick subjects (d,p,t) inflammatory disease of the CNS (d3) subjects sick (d,p,t) psychiatric disorder, (d4) sick subjects ( d,p,t) other neurological diseases and (d5) healthy subjects S m=0 (d,p,t)not suffering from specific neurological disease: premium control group.
[0099] Some subcategories are also defined. Table 1 below shows all diagnostic categories and subcategories assigned to the 1296 healthy subjects S m=0 (d,p,t) or patients (d,p,t) of reference of this example, medical of the hospital of Hamburg, as well as the number of corresponding subjects. Among the reference subjects, 367 S m (d1) have neurodegenerative disease, 291 S m (d2) have inflammatory CNS disease, 123 S m (d3) suffer from psychiatric disorders, 317 S m (d4) are diagnosed with another neurological disease generating abnormalities in the CSF. Among the study population, 515 S m=0(d5) Healthy subjects are classified as a premium control group, with no symptoms of neurological disorder and no abnormalities detected in the CSF. In addition, the study population includes 660 subjects with non-specific neurological signs, for whom no precise diagnosis could be established and where no known CSF alterations were observed. This latter group is designated as the GNI (Unidentified Group), and the corresponding subjects are designated as S m (d4.2).
[0100] [Table 1] Distribution of CSF samples from the BDR
[0101] -S0.2- Mineral Profile (MP)
[0102] The database is completed for the 1956 healthy subjects S m=0 (d5) or sick (d1.1; 1.2; 1.3; 1.4; 2.1; 2.2; 2.3; 3; 4.1) of reference or of the Unidentified Group (GNI) S m (d4.2) of this example, by the PM mineral profile of N concentrations em= 31 mineral elements established for the corresponding CSF samples.
[0103] These CSF samples are stored in a freezer, generally at a temperature below -15°C, and thawed just before preparation for analysis.
[0104] Before being analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, or ICP-MS, CSF samples are diluted 25 times in high-purity 1% nitric acid with indium (In) as an internal standard, according to the following protocol: 100 µL of CSF in 2400 µL of HNO31% with 1.6 ppb of In.
[0105] CSF. It helps dissolve and partially degrade proteins, lipids, and other components of CSF to prepare a homogeneous sample. It stabilizes the sample by preventing precipitation or adsorption on the container walls, thus ensuring a uniform distribution of potential interferences during ICP-MS analysis by keeping the elements in a stable ionic form.
[0106] A dilution factor of twenty-five analyzes major and trace elements in a single analysis.
[0107] Thanks to the high sensitivity of mass spectrometry, the volume of CSF required for analysis is extremely low (less than 100 µL), compared to other analytical methods requiring: Between 0.5 and 1 mL for biochemical analyses (biomarkers), Between 1 and 2 mL for cytological analyses (cells), Between 0.5 and 1 mL for genomic analyses (DNA or RNA).
[0108] ICP-MS analysis
[0109] ICP-MS analyses are performed using an Agilent 7850 Series ICP-MS mass spectrometer equipped with a quadrupole analyzer and an integrated autosampler.
[0110] The analyses are carried out, in semi-quantitative mode, with the following conditions: Standard 28 elements at 20 ppb_Blank: HNO31%_ :50 s_Stabilization time: 30 s : 216 s_Post-acquisition rinsing: 3x 45 s_ : 431 s.
[0111] Semi-quantitative analysis involves estimating the relative concentrations of elements without resorting to the rigorous calibration essential for quantitative analysis. It is particularly useful for quickly obtaining the elemental composition of samples.
[0112] The following example describes this semi-quantitative analysis of serum.
[0113] This example is divided into a first part relating to the method and a second part relating to a validation of this method
[0114] Method: The analyses are carried out on an Agilent 7850 ICP-MS in sample mode 25 times in HNO310%. The method used is as follows for each of the 4 elements a concentration value. Standard 1 negative control: 1 blank composed of HNO31%. Standard 2 positive controls: 1 standard of N emt 28 positive control elements (different from those at 20 ppb in multi-element HNO3 (VWR ®reference 85006.186), certified at 100 mg / L of Al, Ag, As, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sr, Ti, Tl, V and Zn. For the 28 elements present in standard 2, the concentrations are calculated from the analyte minerals, the concentrations are interpolated from those of the positive control elements present in the calibration standard 2, by applying response factors, which depend on their mass and
[0115] Intra-laboratory validation Linearity: The linearity of the response is verified using 6 standards whose concentrations are in line with the concentrations found in the samples, i.e. 18 elements distributed over the range of masses and concentrations Al: 5,250ppb; As: 0.1 2.5 ppb; B: 50 2500 ppb; Ca: 120 2500 ppb; Cd: 0.01 2.5 ppb; Co: 0.01 2.5 ppb; Cu: 1250 bp; Fe: 1,250 ppb; K: 125 25000 ppb; Li: 0.2 25 ppb; Mg: 12.5 2500 ppb; Mn: 1,250 ppb; Na: 12.5 2500 ppb; Pb: 0.1 25 ppb; Ti: 0.2 25 ppb; U: 0.01 -2.5 ppb; V: 0.1 25 ppb; Zn: 2,250ppb. Limits of detection and quantification These were calculated on a reference sample from 20 measurements LOD = ^blank + 5^blank LOD = ^blank + 10^blank With µblank corresponding to the blank signal and ^blank, to its standard deviation. Precision: ^ Repeatability at the start of the sequence, then every 20 analyses, in order to control the repeatability e.g. of 5% for the major ones (e.g. ^ 1 mg / L) and 10% on the traces. ^ Intermediate precision: This same reference sample, analyzed every day, -this with the previous reference and this, on eg at least 4 analyses / day for eg10 days. ^ Comparability: precision, so that each sample is always defined by the same response factors expressed in equivalent concentrations. Thus, systematic errors are accepted but not random errors. If the accuracy of the data cannot be established, their traceability can be guaranteed in relation to an established reference. ^ Data analysis: variations in this population are less than eg 3 times this tolerance are not taken into account in data processing. For which the indicators are less than the limits of quantification are not taken into account in data processing.
[0116] It is nevertheless possible to carry out a more precise quantification of certain elements of interest. To do this, a calibration range specific to the concentrations of the elements is carried out. The semi-quantitative and quantitative results are then obtained in parallel and in a single acquisition for a sample and can be compared.
[0117] For is used: Systematic cleaning of the ICP-MS supply lines to avoid any contamination and to ensure a good analysis of trace elements in particular. Systematic verification of the device performance. Verification of the semi-quantitative model by analyzing a reference wine at the beginning, middle and end of each analysis sequence. Monitoring of the analyses by regularly analyzing the 28-element standard throughout the sequence. Monitoring of the concentration of the internal indium standard to prevent drifts related to the equipment.
[0118] Figure 2 shows the distribution of concentrations [µg / L] of 31 mineral elements in CSF samples from the BDR.
[0119] -S1-
[0120] A sample (stored at -18°C -S3-) from a subject S x whose diagnosis is still undetermined within the GNI group according to Table 1 above, is used.
[0121] -S2-
[0122] We assign the data D sx following: (ii) conventional clinics: gender and age of S x corresponding to this sample.
[0123] -S4- The PM of this sample is analyzed as described above for the (NS m=0 (d,p,t) +N (d,p,t)) 1296 healthy subjects Sm=0(d5) or sick (d1.1;1.2;1.3;1.4;2.1;2.2;2.3;3;4.1) of reference of this example.
[0124] The detailed results are presented in Table 2 below, specifying the measured mineral concentrations in ppb, in this sample corresponding to the subject Sx to be tested as well.

[0126] -S8- Define at least two targets each comprising at least one category and / or at least one subdivision (eg subcategory) to do at least
[0127] In this example 1, we define 3 categories, 3 subcategories and 3 subcategories of the other category. These 3 categories and these 6 subcategories are targets for which the method allows us to predict whether S x belongs to one or more
[0128] x to none, one or more targets depending on the data and the categories / subcategories chosen, S xcan belong to 0, 1 or more categories / subcategories. The physician can participate in defining the targets (categories / subcategories) of interest to aim at on the subject S x .
[0129] In this example, we predict x to none, one or more of the following targets: C1: Category S m=0 (d5) healthy subjects free from neurological diseases: premium controls C2: Category_ (d1) subjects suffering from neurodegenerative diseases and under- categories: (d1.1 ) Alzheimer's dementia; (d1.2) non-Alzheimer's dementia; (d1.3) Parkinson's (disease / syndrome); (d1.4) other neurodegenerative diseases C3: Category_ (d2) subjects with inflammatory diseases of the CNS and subcategories (d2.1)pathogen-related inflammatory CNS diseases, including meningitis, encephalitis, radiculitis, due to e.g. VZV; (d2.2) multiple sclerosis -MS- inflammatory CNS diseases, including CIS; (d2.3) non-pathogen-related inflammatory CNS diseases (without MS), including immune neuropathies, autoimmune encephalitis, myasthenia gravis.

[0133] -S9.1.3- [Variant V1 of 1 er protocol] using “Volcano Plot” curves:
[0134] For the selection of data (i) concentrations of mineral elements and -i.e. the most differentiating, we use in this example, Plot for the PM of the CSF of healthy subjects S m=0 (d5) or sick (d1.1;1.2;1.3;1.4;2.1;2.2;2.3;3;4.1) of reference of this example.
[0135] each target category C1, C2, C3 or C4, for example the categories / subcategories corresponding to the subjects S md1, d2 or d3, or d4.1. So-called volcano plots represent categories. This type of graph allows you to quickly and efficiently visualize significant differences between two categories / subcategories or targets / subtargets. On a volcano plot, the x-axis (horizontal axis) generally represents the degree of change, while the y-axis (vertical axis) indicates the statistical significance of this change, expressed as a P value. The points located at the upper ends of the graphs indicate the elements with the most significant differences. marked and most statistically significant. The curve represents the P value in cypi.stats on python3.
[0136] Thus, the attached figures 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 3E, 3F represent volcano plots which compare: - either the concentrations of mineral elements in the CSF of healthy subjects S m=0d5 of reference C1, to the concentrations of the mineral elements of the CSF of reference sick subjects suffering from neurological diseases C2; - or, between them, the concentrations of the mineral elements of the CSF of reference sick subjects suffering from different neurological diseases C2,C3; - Fig.3A the concentrations of the mineral elements of the CSF of healthy subjects S m=0 d5 of reference C1 [C1_category d5], to the concentrations of mineral elements in the CSF of sick subjects d1.2 of reference C2 (non-Alzheimer's dementia) [C2_subcategory d1.2]; - Fig.3B the concentrations of mineral elements in the CSF of healthy subjects S m=0 d5 of reference C1 [C1_category d5], to the concentrations of mineral elements in the CSF of sick subjects d1.3 of reference C2 (Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's syndrome) [C2_subcategory d1.3]; - Fig.3C the concentrations of mineral elements in the CSF of healthy subjects S m=0d5 of reference C1 [C1_category d5], to the concentrations of mineral elements of the CSF of sick subjects d1 of reference C2 (neurodegenerative diseases) [C2_category d1]; - Fig.3D the concentrations of mineral elements of the CSF of healthy subjects S m=0 d5 of reference C1 [C1_category d5], to the concentrations of mineral elements in the CSF of sick subjects d2 reference C3 (inflammatory diseases of the CNS), [C3_category d2];. - Fig.3E the concentrations of mineral elements in the CSF of healthy subjects S m=0 d5 reference C1 [C1_category d5], to the concentrations of mineral elements in the CSF of sick subjects d1.1 reference C2 (Alzheimer's dementia) [C2_subcategory d1.1]; - Fig.3F the concentrations of mineral elements in the CSF of sick subjects d1 reference C2 (neurodegenerative diseases) [C2_category d1], to the concentrations of mineral elements in the CSF of sick subjects S m d2reference C3 (inflammatory diseases of the CNS) [C3_category d2].
[0137] For each of the categories identified in relation to the controls, we see that they are different, i.e. influenced by the given category. This influence can be in a positive direction (the more there is negative (the more there is strong intensity. This means. These differentiating roles are not the same depending on the categories. The dotted red line in Figures 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F represents the limit corresponding to a P Value of 0.05; commonly considered as a significant limit for an individual value.

[0144] The correlations between the different data (ii) conventional clinical: age; gender: 0 for male and 1 for female; and the different targets are analyzed. , because its correlation with certain pathologies is too important and overwhelms the other information of the volcano plot. We also note that for figures 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D, gender has a significant effect on the evolution or prevalence of certain diseases.
[0145] The differentiating minerals selected from Figures 3A to 3F help to better clarify the relationship between various minerals and associated diseases. They are not necessarily selected for the statistical processing -S9.1- and the IA calculation -S9.2- described above. An RFE model associated with the calculation model used.

[0147] -S9.1.3.1- Model Definition A group of 8 machine learning and AI prediction models are defined as follows: Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosting Machine, Decision tree, Conditional Random Forest, Linear SVM, Ridge Classifier and XGBoost. These models are configured with their default parameters
[0148] -S9.1.3.2- Data separation We divide the data set (i) & (ii) for the 1 er and the 2 ème scenario, in training (80%) and test (20%) parts.
[0149] -S9.1.3.3- Training and evaluation loop Application of 5-fold cross-validation with StratifiedKFold for training and evaluating models, calculating for each iteration the false positive rates (FPR) and true positive rates (TPR).
[0150] -S9.1.3.4- Plotting the ROC curve for each model and calculating the average of We plot the ROC curve for each model using the averages of the TPRs and FPRs, and we calculate the average of the AUC over the iterations of the cross-validation.
[0151] The ROC curves of the 2nd case for the 8 tested models are shown in Figure 4A (curves A to I).
[0152] The ROC curves of the 2nd case for the 8 tested models are shown in Figure 4B (curves A to I).
[0153] In the legend of these two figures 4A and 4B, the AUC obtained for each model tested are shown as well as the number n corresponding to the number of categories for each model.
[0154] -S9.1.3.5- C based on best AUC score.
[0155] The best AUC score measuring the ability of each model to differentiate between C2 / C1 targets (Figure 4A) and C2 / C3 targets (Figure 4B), is obtained, respectively, for the Conditional Random Forest model [C2 / C1 targets (Figure 4A)] and for the Gradient Boosting Machine model [C2 / C3 (Figure 4B)], which are therefore chosen.
[0156] x selected automatic and AI prediction models, is used for the selection of differentiating data (i) & (ii).
[0157] Data (i) & (ii) selected according to -S9.1.3- are: - for the 1 er case C1 / C2-: . Data (i) mineral elements: B, Al, Fe, Rb, S . Data (ii) conventional clinical: age - for the 2 ème case C2 / C3-: . Data (i) mineral elements: P, K, Cr, Zn, Rb. . Data (ii) conventional clinical: age - for the 3 èmecase C1 / C2 / C3-: . Data (i) mineral elements: P, S, Cl, Cu, Zn, Rb. . Data (ii) conventional clinical: age These data [Variant V2 of 1 er protocol], rather than by the volcano plot curves [Variant V1 of 1 er protocol], are displayed and used for dimensionality reduction-S9.1.4-.
[0158] -S9.1.4- 2D or 3D stochastic dimension reduction We use -SNE (t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding) to - reduce the dimensionality of the targeted data by compressing the multi-dimensional data into two or three main components, - and facilitate their visualization in 2D or 3D depending on the selected data and improve the distinction between the targeted categories.
[0159] -S9.1.5-Visualization on graphs of targets (targeted data) (-(i)- concentrations of different minerals more differentiating / relevant for process performance.
[0160] A KDE kernel density plot (Kernel Density Estimate) is produced to visualize the distribution of targets, 1 er case C2 / C1, 2 ème cases C2 / C3, and 3 ème C1 / C2 / C3 cases, as defined previously. To do this, the components extracted following the application of the t-SNE algorithm are plotted respectively on the abscissa axes and the ordinate axis.
[0161] A scatter plot is also overlaid to show individual points.
[0162] The attached Figures 5A, 5B and 5C illustrate, in the form of two-dimensional graphs, the distributions between the different combinations of targets, respectively, C2 / C1; C2 / C3; C1 / C2 / C3 defined above: - Figure 5A: C1 S m=0(d5) [C1_category d5] versus C2 (d1;1.1;1.2;1.3) Figure 5B: C2 (d1;1.1;1.2;1.3) [C2_category d1] versus C3 (d2;2.1;2.2;2.3) [C3_category d2]; Figure 5C: Combined comparison of the three targets C1 S m=0 (d5) [C1_category d5]; C2 (d1;1.1;1.2;1.3) [C2_category d1] and C3 (d2;2.1;2.2;2.3) [C3_category d2].
[0163] Regions where the estimated density is equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum value will be displayed, with different shades or colors representing different density ranges.
[0164] Statistical processing -S9.1- allows for optimal separation of categories, for example by t-SNE. Figures 5A / 5B / 5C represent the different targets on 2-dimensional graphs, in order to best separate the points representing the different subjects S m=0 (d5) [C1_category d5]; (d1;1.1;1.2;1.3) [C2_category d1] (d2;2.1;2.2;2.3) [C3_category d2].
[0165] This visualization helps to distinguish between different targets based on selected parameters, such as concentrations of certain mineral elements.

These are the attached Figures 6A / 6B / 6C.

Selected characteristics: [P, S, Cl, Cu, Zn, Rb, age] the red cross indicates the l. On each of the t-SNE maps in Figures 5A / 5B / 5C, the red cross indicating the position of sample ID5116 of subject S xto be tested, is clearly located within the target (region) associated with subjects (d1;1.1;1.2;1.3) suffering from neurodegenerative diseases. This location strongly suggests that the PM mineral profile of CSF sample ID5116 from subject S x to be tested, corresponds to the typical characteristics of neurodegenerative disorders, which could point towards a diagnosis in this category of diseases.

If the score indicating the probability of the model is higher than the threshold of the model's prediction, defined according to the need, in terms of specificity and sensitivity, within the limit of the model, then the model predicts that the subject will belong to the selected category. We can choose this threshold to increase the sensitivity or specificity of the model according to the needs. In this example, we opt for prediction (compromise between sensitivity and specificity).

[0328] The confusion matrix (Figure 18 attached) for this example 4 was carried out on 25% of the 182 subjects belonging to at least one of the two targets C7** / C8**, i.e. 45 subjects. The average sensitivity obtained is 0.78. The average specificity obtained is 0.71. In addition, the average AUC score obtained is 0.78. From the confusion matrix, we see that the model has predictive capabilities to know the prognosis after, renal, hepatic failure or infection. Thus, with an average AUC of 78%, we can make a good prognosis on almost 4 out of 5 patients. S2023_CRB002 -S9.2.7-

This threshold can be chosen to increase the sensitivity or specificity of the model according to the needs.

[0343] A database is constructed from 64 (individually collected at the level of all samples taken from the same sick reference subject) follicular fluid samples from 64 + 22 female reference subjects undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).
[0344] Each of the reference subjects sick conventional clinical data concerning the subjects: . to a target including the category corresponding to a diagnostic criterion S m (d) specific criterion 1 S m (d1): pathologies; to a subcategory S m(d1.1) endometriosis or subcategory S m (d1.2) tubal; to a subcategory S m (d1.3) DOR or to a subcategory S m (d1.4) reference; or to a subcategory S m (d1.5) various or unknown; . to a target or category corresponding to a diagnostic criterion S m (d) specific criterion 2 S m (d2): Oocyte status (individual fluid); and to a subcategory S m (d2.1) M2, or to a subcategory S m (d2.2) empty; . to a target including the category corresponding to a diagnostic criterion S m (d) specific criterion 3 S m (d3): fertilization; and to a subcategory S m (d3.1) yes, or to a subcategory S m (d3.2) no, or to a subcategory S m (d3.3) lysed, or to a subcategory S m (d3.4) 3PN; . to a target including the category corresponding to a diagnostic criterion S m (d) specific criterion 4 S m(d4): transfer; and to a subcategory S m (d4.1) yes, or to a subcategory S m (d4.2) no, . to a target including the category corresponding to a prognostic criterion S m (p1) specific criterion 1: result of IVF and to a subcategory S m (p1.1) pregnancy yes p=0, or to a subcategory S m (p1.2) pregnancy not p=1, or to a subcategory S m (p1.3) white puncture; or to a subcategory S m (p1.3) IVF failure. These targets are taken into account in the decision-making process involving statistical representations or artificial intelligence, specific to the process according to, in this example 5.
[0345] For sick subjects (d,p,t) For reference purposes of this example, the categories and subcategories are given in Table 8 below.
[0346] [Table 8]
[0347] -S0.2- constituted by the Mineral profile (PM)
[0348] The database is completed for Nt= 64+22 subjects (d,p,t) reference patients(d,p) (d1.1;d1.2;d1.3;d1.4;d1.5;d2.1;d2.2;d3.1;d3.2;d3.3;d3.4;d4.1;d4.2;p1.1;p1.2;p1.3 p1.4); of this example 5, by the mineral profile PM of N concentrations em = 31 mineral elements, established for the corresponding follicular fluid samples.
[0349] This mineral profile on follicular fluid samples was performed as described
[0350] Figure 19 shows the distribution of concentrations [µg / L] of 31 follicular fluid elements from the database.
[0351] -S1-
[0352] A sample (stored at -18°C -S3-) from a subject Sx CHUL4 whose t is still undetermined, is used.
[0353] -S2-
[0354] We assign the data D SxCHUL4 and conventional clinical data (ii): weight and age of Sx corresponding to this sample.
[0355] -S4- The PM of this sample is analyzed as described above for the Nt= 64+22 subjects (d,p,t) sick reference (d,p) (d1.1;d1.2;d1.3;d1.4;d1.5;d2.1;d2.2;d3.1;d3.2;d3.3;d3.4;d4.1;d4.2;p1.1;p1.2;p1.3 p1.4) of this example 5.
[0356] The detailed results are presented in Table 9 below, specifying the measured mineral concentrations in ppb, in this sample corresponding to the Sx subject to be tested as well as the conventional clinical data (ii): age of the Sx subject to be tested CHUL4.
[0357] [Table 9]: Concentration in ppb of different minerals LOD: Limit Of Detection
[0358] -S8- Define at least two targets of the subject Sx to be tested to at least one target.
[0359] In this example 5, we define 5 categories (d1) (d2) (d3) (d4)(p1) 5 subcategories of the category (d1) :(d1.1); (d1.2); (d1.3); (d1.4); (d1.5); 2 subcategories of the category (d2) :(d2.1) ; (d2.2) ) ;4 subcategories of the category (d3) :(d3.1); (d3.2);(d3.3) (d3.4)2 subcategories of the category (d4) :(d4.1) ; (d4.2); 4 subcategories of the category (p1) :(p1.1); (p1.2); (p1.3); (p1.4).
[0360] These 5 categories and 17 subcategories allow you to form targets vis-à-vis
[0361] targets depending on the data and the categories / subcategories chosen, Sx can belong to 0, 1 or several targets. The doctor can participate in defining the targets (categories / subcategories) of interest to aim at on the subject Sx.
[0362] subcategories, is predicted in 4 cases.
[0363] 1st scenario: Target C1***: Category (d1) subcategory (d1.1) endometriosis Target C2***: Category (d1) subcategory (d1.4) reference: control (linked to a), the known liquid.
[0364] 2nd scenario: Target C3***: Category (p1) resulting from IVF subcategory (p1.1) pregnancy yes p=0 Target C4***: Category (p1) subcategory (p1.2) reference: pregnancy no p=1.

[0367] -S9.1.2- StandardScaler
[0368] -S9.1.3- use of “Volcano Plot” curves:
[0369] For the selection of data (i) concentrations of mineral elements and - i.e. the most differentiating, we use, in this example, volcano Plot for the Nt= 64+22 subjects (d,p,t) sick of reference (d,p) (d1.1; d1.2; d1.3; d1.4; d1.5; d2.1; d2.2; d3.1; d3.2; d3.3; d3.4; d4.1; d4.2; p1.1; p1.2; p1.3 p1.4); of this example 5.
[0370] The volcano plot is plotted for this example 5, from 1.
[0371] Thus, the attached figure 20 represents a volcano plot which corresponds to 1 er case of this example 5: Target C1***: Category (d1) subcategory ( d1.1) Endometriosis versus Target C2***: Category (d1) subcategory ( d1.4) reference: follicular.
[0372] The more cobalt there is in the follicular fluid, the more the fluid has a probability of pro (d1) subcategory (d1.1) endometriosis: Target C1***.

[0381] A KDE kernel density plot (Kernel Density Estimate) is produced to visualize the distribution of C3*** / C4*** targets as defined previously -SNE
[0382] A scatter plot is also overlaid to show individual points.
[0383] Figure 21 attached illustrates, in the form of two-dimensional graphs, the distributions between the categories C3*** / C4*** Target C3***: Category (p1) resulting from IVF subcategory (p1.1) pregnancy yes p=0 Target C4***: Category (p1) subcategory (p1.2) reference: pregnancy no p=1.
[0384] Regions where the estimated density is equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum value will be displayed, with different shades or colors representing different density ranges.
[0385] The statistical processing -S9.1- allows an optimal separation of the categories, for example by t-SNE. Figure 21 represents on 2-dimensional graphs, the 2 targets C3*** / C4***, in order to best separate the points representing the different subjects target C3***: Category (p1) IVF outcome subcategory (p1.1) pregnancy yes p=0 and target C4***: Category (p1) subcategory (p1.2) reference: pregnancy not p=1.
[0386] This visualization helps to distinguish between different targets based on selected parameters, such as concentrations of certain mineral elements.

[0388] Data localization D sx (i) formed by the ppb concentrations of the different minerals (Table 9 above) and D data sx (ii) including (Table 9 above) x to be tested [CHUL4 follicular fluid], are integrated into the t-SNE graph of Figure 21, with a distinctive red cross mark to facilitate its location. This location strongly suggests that the PM mineral profile of the test sample [CHUL4 follicular fluid] from subject S x to be tested, corresponds to the typical characteristics of the C3*** target: Category (p1) resulting from IVF subcategory (p1.1) pregnancy yes p=0, which could point towards this prognosis.
