CDH1 gene as biomarker towards breast cancer prediction*
Breast cancer is considered to be happened due to genetic aberration. Out of several genes expressed, it is found that cadherin 1, type 1 (CDH1) is responsible in several ways to control the metabolic order in human. Deregulation of the function of protein E-cadherin, expressed from CDH1 plays an important role in lobular breast cancer. In order to understand the root cause of this recent claim, we focus on CDH1 gene: whether the genetic information translated due to any deviation/alteration/modification in its sequence is related to the occurrence of the different types breast cancer. Towards this end, quantitative analysis of different biophysical and bio-chemical properties of CDH1 gene in genomic and proteomic levels from the available genomic (cDNA) sequences of CDH1 gene (obtained from the COSMIC Database for 78 patients, suffering from various types of breast cancer) clearly emphasizes that alternation/modification in the sequence of the CDH1 gene can be detrimental. Furthermore, Random forest, K-nearest neighbour and stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithms are applied on the derived dataset to classify the types of breast cancer, and to validate our hypothesis regarding the acute role of CDH1 as potential bio marker for breast cancer. Analysis of the mutated CDH1 gene sequences, and their related parameters using aforesaid machine learning techniques clearly establish that CDH1 gene can take the deterministic role in predicting the chances of occurrences of different types of breast cancer with an accuracy of Such an observation opens a new paradigm in diagnostic approach of breast cancer.
