Metabolic pathway modeling, essential for understanding organism metabolism, is pivotal in predicting genetic mutation effects, drug design, and biofuel development. Enhancing these modeling techniques is crucial for achieving greater prediction accuracy and reliability. However, the limited experimental data or the complexity of the pathway makes it challenging for researchers to predict phenotypes.

Primary Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a rare cancer caused by human herpesvirus-8 that most often affects people with compromised immune systems. Since knowledge of the relationship between disease and sociodemographic factors contributes to the development of precision medicine, we investigated the prevalence of KS within the US population. Using SEER, we found that the Black population had the highest prevalence rate in 2018 compared to other racial groups.
