Precision medicine requires biomarkers that stratify patients and improve clinical outcomes. Although longitudinal multi-omic analyses provide insights into pathological states, their utility in stratifying healthy individuals remains underexplored. We performed a cross-sectional integrative study of three omic layers, including genomics, urine metabolomics, and serum metabolomics/lipoproteomics, on a cohort of 162 individuals without pathological manifestations. We studied each omic layer separately and after integration, concluding that multi-omic integration provides optimal stratification capacity. We identified four subgroups and, for a subset of 61 individuals, longitudinal data for two additional time-points allowed us to evaluate the temporal stability of the molecular profiles of each identified subgroup. Additional functional annotation uncovered accumulation of risk factors associated with dyslipoproteinemias in one subgroup, suggesting targeted monitoring could reduce future cardiovascular risks. Overall, our methodology uncovers the potential of multi-omic profiling to serve as a framework for precision medicine aimed at early prevention strategies.
精准医学需要能够对患者进行分层并改善临床结果的生物标志物。尽管纵向多组学分析能深入了解病理状态,但其在对健康个体进行分层方面的效用仍未得到充分探索。我们对162名无病理表现的个体进行了一项包括基因组学、尿液代谢组学和血清代谢组学/脂蛋白组学三个组学层面的横断面综合研究。我们分别对每个组学层面以及整合后的组学层面进行了研究,得出多组学整合具有最佳分层能力的结论。我们识别出了四个亚组,对于61名个体的一个子集,另外两个时间点的纵向数据使我们能够评估每个识别出的亚组分子谱的时间稳定性。进一步的功能注释揭示了一个亚组中与血脂异常相关的危险因素的积累,这表明有针对性的监测可以降低未来的心血管风险。总体而言,我们的方法揭示了多组学分析作为精准医学早期预防策略框架的潜力。
