  • Publication number: 20230260658
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for determining polygenic traits and risks for medical use, such as cancer traits and risks, as well as treating diseases for which risk is identified and/or assessed. Methods of this invention can provide a polygenic score which takes into account local ancestry through the ancestral origin of the alleles of risk loci. A polygenic score can provide surprisingly increased accuracy in determining polygenic traits and risks for ancestrally admixed populations.

  • Publication number: 20230170045
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for determining a polygenic risk score and breast cancer estimated risk for medical use, as well as for treating breast cancer. Methods of this invention can provide a polygenic risk score which takes into account a plurality of breast cancer associated SNP markers. Also provide is a comprehensive breast cancer risk estimation with increased accuracy.

  • Publication number: 20220205043
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, kits, and systems for assessing the risk of a human subject for developing a cancer, including genetic risk assessment, clinical risk assessment, and combinations of both to improve risk analysis.

  • Publication number: 20140278135
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is discussed that includes identifying, by a computer server system, stored electronic data that represents genetic sequencing for one or more genes for individuals in a population of patients who have submitted to genetic sequencing; generating, for each of multiple individuals and from the stored electronic data, probability data for the individuals and probability or weighting data, or both, for relatives of the individuals, the probability data representing likelihoods that a particular person corresponding to the probability data carries a deleterious mutation in a particular gene; and generating a score for a genetic variant, wherein the score is a function of probability or weighting data, or both, for the individuals and for relatives of the individuals, and the score represent a composite probability that a certain variant is a deleterious or benign variant.
