  • Publication number: 20140088942
    Abstract: A computer-implemented bioinformatics program annotates human genetic variants by integrating multiple sources of information. The program rapidly filters variants that are unlikely to play a role in the etiology of particular diseases. This filtering may be performed based on such annotations, on clinical profiles and family histories, and on analyses under various inheritance models, in order to classify human variants and identify mutations influencing patients' diseases.
