EFGPP: Exploratory framework for genotype-phenotype prediction

arXiv:2605.02954v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Predicting complex human traits from genetic data is challenging because different genetic, clinical, and molecular data sources often contain different parts of the signal. Here, we present EFGPP, a reproducible framework for generating, ranking, and combining multiple types of data for genotype-to-phenotype prediction. We applied EFGPP to migraine prediction using UK Biobank data from 733 individuals. The framework combined genotype-derived features, principal components, clinical and metabolomic covariates, and polygenic risk scores generated from migraine and depression GWAS using PLINK, PRSice-2, AnnoPred, and LDAK-GWAS. The best single data type achieved a test AUC of 0.644, while combining multiple data types improved performance to 0.688 using migraine-focused inputs and 0.663 using cross-trait depression-derived inputs. Genetic features alone did not outperform the covariates-only baseline, but genotype-derived features performed better than PRS alone, and depression-derived PRS showed useful predictive signal. Overall, EFGPP provides a practical proof-of-concept framework for prioritising and integrating heterogeneous genetic data sources for complex phenotype prediction.
