Combining genetic risk score with artificial neural network to predict the efficacy of folic acid therapy to hyperhomocysteinemia

Abstract Artificial neural network (ANN) is the main tool to dig data and was inspired by the human brain and nervous system. Several studies clarified its application in medicine. However, none has applied ANN to predict the efficacy of folic acid treatment to Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). The effic...
