Objective: The primary aim of this study was to use metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) data to identify coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19)-related biomarker genes and to construct a machine learning model that could successfully differentiate patients with COVID-19 from healthy controls. Materials and Methods: The mNGS dataset used in the study demonstrated expression of 15,979 genes in the upper airway in 234 patients who were COVID-19 negative and COVID-19 positive. The Boruta method was used to select qualitative biomarker genes associated with COVID-19. Random forest (RF), gradient boosting tree (GBT), and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) models were used to predict COVID-19 based on the selected biomarker genes. Results: The MLP (0.936) model outperformed the GBT (0.851), and RF (0.809) models in predicting COVID-19. The three most important biomarker candidate genes associated with COVID-19 were IFI27, TPTI, and FAM83A. Conclusion: The proposed model (MLP) was able to predict COVID-19 successfully. The results showed that the generated model and selected biomarker candidate genes can be used as diagnostic models for clinical testing or potential therapeutic targets and vaccine design.

Hematogenous metastases of primary brain tumors are extremely rare and often overlooked (1). Glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, germ cell tumors, and ependymoma are the most common primary brain tumors that can present with hematogenous metastasis (2). A 21-year-old male patient was referred for an abdominal ultrasound due to elevated liver enzymes. He had been diagnosed with pineal germinoma with spinal drop metastases 11 months ago (Fig. 1a, b), and was treated with gamma knife radiosurgery and craniospinal radiotherapy. The abdominal ultrasound revealed hy-poechoic liver nodules. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple small liver nodules with diffusion restriction and peripheral enhancement, indicating metastases (Fig. 1c, d). A liver biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of liver metastasis of intracranial germinoma. Systemic chemotherapy was initiated, and the two years of follow-up were uneventful. Metastases should be considered in the differential diagnosis when nodular lesions are detected in solid organs in patients with aggressive brain tumors.
