en Identification of Important Diagnostic Genes in the Uterine Using Bioinformatics and Machine Learning Human Genetics Human Genetics Original Research Original Research <div style="text-align: justify;">    Background: Uterine corpus endometrial cancer (UCEC) is known as the sixth most common cancer in the world. Advances in bioinformatics and deep learning have provided the 2 tools for screening large-scale genomic data and discovering potential biomarkers indicative of disease states. This study aimed to investigate the identification of important genes for diagnosis and prognosis in the uterus using bioinformatics and machine learning algorithms.    Methods: RNA expression profiles of UECE patients were analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using deep learning techniques. Prognostic biomarkers were assessed through survival curve analysis utilizing COMBIO-ROC. Additionally, molecular pathways, protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, co-expression patterns of DEGs, and their associations with clinical data were thoroughly examined. Ultimately, diagnostic markers were determined through deep learning-based analyses.    Results: According to our findings, MEX3B, CTRP2 (C1QTNF2), and AASS are new biomarkers for UCEC.  The evaluation metrics demonstrate the deep learning model's (DNN) efficacy, with a minimal mean squared error (MSE) of 5.1096067E-5 and a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 0.007, indicative of accurate predictions. The R-squared value of 0.99 underscores the model's ability to explain a substantial portion of the variance in the data. Thus, the model achieves a perfect area under the curve (AUC) of 1, signifying exceptional discrimination ability, and an accuracy rate of 97%.    Conclusion: The GDCA database and deep learning algorithms identified 3 significant genes —MEX3B, CTRP2 (C1QTNF2), and AASS—as potential diagnosis biomarkers of UCEC. Thus, identifying new UCEC biomarkers has promise for effective care, improved prognosis, and early diagnosis. </div> Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma, Deep learning, Biomarker, Bioinformatic Analysis, UCEC 18 26 http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-9085-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Hossein Valizadeh Laktarashi valizadehhossein46@gmail.com 200319475328460088037 200319475328460088037 No Department of Health Information Technology and Management, School of Allied Medical Sciences, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Milad Rahimi miladrahimi@sbmu.ac.ir 200319475328460088038 200319475328460088038 No Department of Health Information Technology, School of Allied Medical Sciences, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran Kimia Abrishamifar kimiaabrishamifar@gmail.com 200319475328460088039 200319475328460088039 No School of Health Management and Information Science, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran Ali Mahmoudabadi Alimahmoudabadi2000@gmail.com 200319475328460088040 0009-0003-5668-7294 No Department of Medical Genetics, Afzalipoor Faculty of Medicine, Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Kerman, Iran Elham Nazari Elham.Nazari@sbmu.ac.ir 200319475328460088041 0009-0000-8452-2946 Yes Department of Health Information Technology and Management, School of Allied Medical Sciences, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
