Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Delivering the correct drug to the correct patient at the right time while avoiding toxic side effects remains a major limitation of modern medicine across disease modalities. The corpus of available disease-relevant omics data is ever-expanding alongside the increasing panoply of imaging and other relevant data types. Concurrent with this expansion, various machine learning algorithms are becoming increasingly suitable for application using these diverse data types and are even able to integrate multiple types. Together, these advances present the opportunity to ask and answer important questions around pharmacogenomics and precision medicine.

This Topic serves as a compendium for global leaders to present their most recent findings to educate and enhance the work of the broader community. In order to be relevant to experts and newcomers alike, both review and original research articles are invited to this Topic.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.

Background: Although inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are the first-line therapy for patients with persistent asthma, many patients continue to have exacerbations. We developed machine learning models to predict the ICS response in patients with asthma. Methods: The subjects included asthma patients of European ancestry (n = 1371; 448 children; 916 adults). A genome-wide association study was performed to identify the SNPs associated with ICS response. Using the SNPs identified, two machine learning models were developed to predict ICS response: (1) least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and (2) random forest. Results: The LASSO regression model achieved an AUC of 0.71 (95% CI 0.67–0.76; sensitivity: 0.57; specificity: 0.75) in an independent test cohort, and the random forest model achieved an AUC of 0.74 (95% CI 0.70–0.78; sensitivity: 0.70; specificity: 0.68). The genes contributing to the prediction of ICS response included those associated with ICS responses in asthma (TPSAB1, FBXL16), asthma symptoms and severity (ABCA7, CNN2, PTRN3, and BSG/CD147), airway remodeling (ELANE, FSTL3), mucin production (GAL3ST), leukotriene synthesis (GPX4), allergic asthma (ZFPM1, SBNO2), and others. Conclusions: An accurate risk prediction of ICS response can be obtained using machine learning methods, with the potential to inform personalized treatment decisions. Further studies are needed to examine if the integration of richer phenotype data could improve risk prediction. Full article

Recent advances in machine learning hold tremendous potential for enhancing the way we develop new medicines. Over the years, machine learning has been adopted in nearly all facets of drug discovery, including patient stratification, lead discovery, biomarker development, and clinical trial design. In this review, we will discuss the latest developments linking machine learning and CNS drug discovery. While machine learning has aided our understanding of chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, only modest effective therapies currently exist. We highlight promising new efforts led by academia and emerging biotech companies to leverage machine learning for exploring new therapies. These approaches aim to not only accelerate drug development but to improve the detection and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Full article
