Cover Story: In the relentless pursuit of unraveling the our genetic code, the fusion of machine learning and human genetic data is starting a new era in genetic association studies, promising unprecedented insights. As we acknowledge the multitude of genetic factors influencing human traits, machine learning steps in to unravel the complexities in polygenic architectures. This breakthrough not only enhances our comprehension of genetic landscapes but also promise more accurate diagnostics and targeted interventions, in personalized medicine. As we embark on this journey, ethical considerations, limitations and trustworthiness loom large. Balancing the transformative potential of machine learning with biases demands a meticulous approach. In the article that follow, we delve into the use of machine learning in a particular area of genetics, the genome-wide association studies. View this paper
