  • Publication number: 20250014755
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for disease assessments. In some examples, the present disclosure provides a method for processing or analyzing a bodily sample of a subject. The method may comprise analyzing said bodily sample to yield a data set comprising at least one genetic polymorphism in the bodily sample. The at least one genetic polymorphism may be associated with a pulmonary or respiratory disease or disorder. The method may further comprise computer processing the data set and a clinical health parameter of the subject to determine a risk-value of the pulmonary or respiratory disease or disorder in the subject. The method may further comprise electronically outputting a report that identifies the risk-value of the pulmonary or respiratory disease or disorder in the subject.
