This document summarizes Tim Vivian-Griffiths' PhD project using machine learning to investigate gene set associations in schizophrenia. It provides background on schizophrenia, describes previous genome-wide association studies that identified genetic risk factors but no clear biomarkers, and explains how the current study uses polygenic risk scoring and machine learning algorithms like logistic regression and support vector machines to analyze gene sets related to schizophrenia. The study finds that gene sets involving FMRP targets and abnormal behavior are most associated with schizophrenia risk across different algorithm models and gene boundaries.
