  • Patent number: 11373739
    Abstract: A computer program product includes multiple microservices for interrogating clinical records according to one or more projects associated with patient datasets obtained from electronic copies of source documents from the clinical records. A first microservice generates a user interface including a first portion displaying source documents and, concurrently, a second portion displaying structured patient data fields organized into categories for entering structured patient data derived from the source documents displayed in the first portion. Categories and their organization are defined by a template and include cancer diagnosis, staging, tumor size, genetic results, and date of recurrence. A second microservice validates abstracted patient data according to validation rules applied to the categories, validation rules being assigned to the projects and performed on the categories as they are populated.

  • Patent number: 11211147
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and software are provided for estimating a circulating tumor fraction for a test subject. Sequence reads are obtained from a panel-enriched sequencing reaction, including sequences for a first plurality of cfDNA fragments corresponding to probe sequences and a second plurality of cfDNA fragments not corresponding to probe sequences. Bin-level coverage ratios are determined from the sequences. Segments are formed by grouping adjacent bins based on similar coverage ratios and segment-level coverage ratios are determined based on bin-level coverage ratios for bins in the segment. For each simulated circulating tumor fraction in a plurality of circulating tumor fractions, segments are fitted to an integer copy state by identifying the integer copy state that best matches the segment-level coverage ratio.

  • Patent number: 11211144
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and software are provided for validating a copy number variation in a test subject. A first dataset is obtained comprising bin-level sequence ratios, segment-level sequence ratios and segment-level measures of dispersion. Bins representing regions of a human reference genome are determined from sequencing cell-free nucleic acids in a liquid biopsy sample and reference samples. Segments encompass subsets of adjacent bins, where segment-level sequence ratios and measures of dispersion are determined using bin-level sequence ratios. A copy number status annotation for a segment is validated by applying the first dataset to a plurality of filters comprising a measure of central tendency bin-level sequence ratio filter, a confidence filter, and a measure of central tendency-plus-deviation bin-level sequence ratio filter. When a filter is fired, the copy number status annotation of the segment is rejected; and when no filter is fired, the copy number status annotation of the segment is validated.
