    Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent form of dementia with no established cure. Extensive research aims to comprehend its underlying mechanisms. Genetic insights are sought through gene expression data analysis, leveraging computational and statistical techniques to identify risk-associated genes. This study focuses on accurate AD detection using blood gene expression data. Four feature classification methods—TFrelated genes, Hub genes, CFG, and VAE are employed to identify crucial AD-related genes. Five classification approaches—RF, SVM, LR, L1-LR, and DNN—are used, evaluated by AUC. The VAE + LR model yields the highest AUC (0.76). The study identifies 100 influential AD-associated genes where data is sourced from Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Findings hold promise for advancing early diagnosis and treatment, enhancing AD patients' quality of life.
