科学领域:
- 基因组学
- 医疗信息学
- 罕见疾病
背景情况:
- 没有确诊的罕见遗传疾病 (RGD) 往往没有被识别,从而延迟了关键的遗传检测和诊断.
- 医疗保健提供者在识别可能受益于基因评估的患者方面面临挑战.
研究的目的:
- 开发和验证基于规则的搜索算法"ThinkRare",以识别未被诊断的RGD患者.
- 通过主动识别符合条件的患者来解决延迟诊断的障碍.
主要方法:
- 使用结构化的电子病历数据和临床标准来识别潜在的RGD病例.
- 采用代测试和医疗记录审查以优化和验证算法.
- 通知确诊患者的医生,提供遗传学服务.
主要成果:
- 追溯对262,296名患者进行了应用,确定了30名符合对外体测序的患者.
- 估计回忆率 (灵敏度) 为60%和精度 (积极预测值) 为15%.
- 在转诊和评估的患者中,诊断率达到了50% (4/8).
结论:
- 通过ThinkRare算法有效地追溯识别了RGD患者.
- 未来的部署可以帮助临床医生识别和转诊罕见病患者,促使早期诊断.

Genetic Screens
5.1K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
