PRS-Net Deep Learning Agent

The PRS-Net Deep Learning Agent implements interpretable geometric deep learning for polygenic risk score prediction. PRS-Net models non-linear gene-gene interactions and biological network relationships to enhance disease prediction accuracy and improve cross-ancestry portability compared to traditional linear PRS methods.

When to Use This Skill

• When linear PRS methods show limited performance.
• For modeling complex gene-gene interactions.
• To improve PRS portability across ancestries.
• When biological interpretability of PRS is needed.
• For integrating pathway and network information.

Core Capabilities

1. Non-Linear PRS: Capture gene-gene interactions via deep learning.

2. Network Integration: Incorporate protein-protein interaction networks.

3. Interpretability: Identify important pathways and gene modules.

4. Cross-Ancestry Transfer: Improved portability via learned biology.

5. Multi-Task Learning: Joint modeling of related traits.

6. Uncertainty Quantification: Provide prediction confidence.
