Abstract

Brain imaging genetics becomes more and more important in brain science, which integrates genetic variations and brain structures or functions to study the genetic basis of brain disorders. The multi-modal imaging data collected by different technologies, measuring the same brain distinctly, might carry complementary information. Unfortunately, we do not know the extent to which the phenotypic variance is shared among multiple imaging modalities, which further might trace back to the complex genetic mechanism. In this paper, we propose a novel dirty multi-task sparse canonical correlation analysis (SCCA) to study imaging genetic problems with multi-modal brain imaging quantitative traits (QTs) involved. The proposed method takes advantages of the multi-task learning and parameter decomposition. It can not only identify the shared imaging QTs and genetic loci across multiple modalities, but also identify the modality-specific imaging QTs and genetic loci, exhibiting a flexible capability of identifying complex multi-SNP-multi-QT associations. Using the state-of-the-art multi-view SCCA and multi-task SCCA, the proposed method shows better or comparable canonical correlation coefficients and canonical weights on both synthetic and real neuroimaging genetic data. In addition, the identified modality-consistent biomarkers, as well as the modality-specific biomarkers, provide meaningful and interesting information, demonstrating the dirty multi-task SCCA could be a powerful alternative method in multi-modal brain imaging genetics.
