Intriguingly, a community structure of gene networks indicates that the concept of community cohesion could be applied between the genes as well to overcome the limitations of single gene-based biomarkers for precision oncology. Here, we develop community cohesion scores which precisely quantify the community ability to retain the interactions between the genes and their cellular functions in each individualized gene network. Using breast cancer as a proof-of-concept study, we measure the community cohesion score profiles of 950 case samples and predict the individualized therapeutic targets in 2-fold. First, we prioritize them by finding druggable genes present in the community with the most and relatively decreased scores in each individual. Then, we pinpoint more individualized therapeutic targets by discovering the genes which greatly contribute to the community cohesion looseness in each individualized gene network. Compared with the previous approaches, the community cohesion scores show at least four times higher performance in predicting effective individualized chemotherapy targets based on drug sensitivity data. Furthermore, the community cohesion scores successfully discover the known breast cancer subtypes and we suggest new targeted therapy targets for triple negative breast cancer (e.g. KIT and GABRP). Lastly, we demonstrate that the community cohesion scores can predict tamoxifen responses in ER+ breast cancer and suggest potential combination therapies (e.g. NAMPT and RXRA inhibitors) to reduce endocrine therapy resistance based on individualized characteristics. Our method opens new perspectives for the biomarker development in precision oncology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bib\/bbae175","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,16]],"date-time":"2024-04-16T02:14:58Z","timestamp":1713233698000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Community
