description | Determining how noncoding genetic variants contribute to neurodegenerative dementias is fundamental to understanding disease pathogenesis, improving patient prognostication, and developing new clinical treatments. Next generation sequencing technologies have produced vast amounts of genomic data on cell type-specific transcription factor binding, gene expression, and three-dimensional chromatin interactions, with the promise of providing key insights into the biological mechanisms underlying disease. However, this data is highly complex, making it challenging for researchers to interpret, assimilate, and dissect. To this end, deep learning has emerged as a powerful tool for genome analysis that can capture the intricate patterns and dependencies within these large datasets. In this review, we organize and discuss the many unique model architectures, development philosophies, and interpretation methods that have emerged in the last few years with a focus on using deep learning to predict the impact of genetic variants on disease pathogenesis. We highlight both broadly-applicable genomic deep learning methods that can be fine-tuned to disease-specific contexts as well as existing neurodegenerative disease research, with an emphasis on Alzheimer’s-specific literature. We conclude with an overview of the future of the field at the intersection of neurodegeneration, genomics, and deep learning. |
