Figure Lengend Snippet: Feature importance (left panel) and impact on model output (right panel) of individual variables derived from aggregated Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis. CDH7, cadherin-7 promoter methylation; DM, previous history of diabetes; GPT, glutamic pyruvic transaminase; Hb, hemoglobin; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; Hcy, homocysteine; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; HT, previous history of hypertension; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; Plt, platelet; TG, triglyceride; T-chol., total cholesterol; WBC, white blood cell.
Article Snippet: Evaluation of promoter methylation status revealed that CDH7 pyrosequencing demonstrated >20% methylation (no-SVD: 23.1%; all-SVD: 25.8%), whereas ZNF234 pyrosequencing showed ≤5% methylation (no-SVD: 2.8%; all-SVD: 5.8%) in the 16 no-SVD and 16 all-SVD patients selected for the MethylationEPIC array ( ).
Techniques: Derivative Assay, Methylation
