Abstrakt: Motivation Gene–environment (G–E) interaction analysis is crucial in cancer research, offering insights into how genetic and environmental factors jointly influence cancer outcomes. Most existing G–E interaction methods are regression-based, which may lack flexibility to capture complex data patterns. Recent advances have investigated deep neural network-based G–E models. However, these methods may be more vulnerable to information deficiency due to challenges such as limited sample size and high dimensionality. Apart from genetic and environmental data, pathological images have emerged as a widely accessible and informative resource for cancer modeling, presenting its potential to enhance G–E modeling. Results We propose the pathological imaging-assisted neural additive model for G–E analysis (GE-IA-NAM). The flexible and interpretable additive network architecture is adopted to account for individualized effects associated with genetic factors, environmental factors, and their interactions. To improve G–E modeling, an assisted-learning strategy is investigated, which adopts a joint analysis to integrate information from pathological images. Simulations and the analysis of lung and skin cancer datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas demonstrate the competitive performance of the proposed method. Availability and implementation Python code implementing the proposed method is available at https://github.com/Mr-maoge/NAM-IA-GE. The data that support the findings in this article are openly available in TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) at https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
