Blood-based cancer diagnostic test using multiple molecule classes
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11847532B2) outlines a method for screening individuals for colorectal advanced adenoma. The method involves assaying a variety of molecules in a biological sample, such as whole blood, plasma, or serum, using different assays to obtain sets of measured values. These molecules include nucleic acids and polyamino acids, with specific assays like methylation sequencing applied to cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and polyamino acids. Features corresponding to the properties of these molecules are identified and used to create a feature vector for input into a machine learning model. The model, trained using samples with and without colorectal advanced adenoma, classifies whether an individual has the condition based on the input feature vector.
Furthermore, the method includes various classes of molecules like peptides, proteins, autoantibodies, and circulating proteins, with assays ranging from whole-genome sequencing to mass spectrometry. The machine learning model can be constructed using different techniques such as linear discriminant analysis, random forest, support vector machine, decision trees, and more. The biological sample, which can be plasma, provides measured values including methylation patterns of cell-free DNA. This comprehensive method aims to accurately screen individuals for colorectal advanced adenoma by analyzing a wide range of molecules and utilizing advanced machine learning models for classification.
