METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PHENOTYPE-DRIVEN CLINICAL GENOMICS USING A LIKELIHOOD RATIO PARADIGM

摘要

Methods and apparatus for providing clinical decision support. The method comprises receiving phenotype information for a patient, determining a likelihood ratio for each of the phenotype features included in the received phenotype information with respect to each of a plurality of diseases, determining, based on the likelihood ratio for each of the phenotype features, a composite likelihood ratio for each of the plurality of diseases, ranking the plurality of diseases based, at least in part, on the determined composite likelihood ratios, and displaying at least some of the ranked plurality of diseases.
