摘要

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis is crucial for noninvasive diagnostics, but computational deconvolution faces data complexity and interpretability challenges. We present cfDecon, a deep-learning framework that uses multichannel autoencoder and iterative refinement to generate condition-aware methylation profiles. Through comprehensive simulations and clinical validations, cfDecon consistently outperforms existing methods and demonstrates superior disease detection capability, offering a promising framework for personalized medicine applications.
