Machine learning approach yields epigenetic biomarkers of food allergy: A novel 13-gene signature to diagnose clinical reactivity

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Current laboratory tests are less than 50% accurate in distinguishing between people who have food allergies (FA) and those who are merely sensitized to foods, resulting in the use of expensive and potentially dangerous Oral Food Challenges. This study presents a purely-computational machine learning approach, conducted using DNA Methylation (DNAm) data, to accurately diagnose food allergies and...
