Identification of Novel Biomarkers in Huntington’s Disease Based on Differential Gene Expression Meta-Analysis and Machine Learning Approach by Nayan Dash, Md Abul Bashar, Jeonghan Lee, Raju Dash

“…Therefore, to discover the key biomarkers associated with the progression of HD, we employed bioinformatics and machine learning (ML) to create a robust pipeline that integrated differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis with ML to select potential biomarkers. We performed a meta-analysis to identify DEGs using three Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) microarray datasets from different platforms related to HD-affected brain tissue, applying both relaxed and strict criteria to identify differentially expressed genes. …”
