Our goal is to identify and diagnose rare genetic diseases, challenging for clinicians due to low exposure. PhenomeCentral allows clinicians to upload patient data, get matched with similar cases, and gather evidence. Using the Human Phenotype Ontology and Exomiser, we aim to reproduce performance, expand to new patient domains, and test hypotheses on disease-causal genes. Patient Pair Simulation introduces control genomes, mutations, and HPO terms, tackling challenges like data scarcity and noise.

Rare Genetic Diseases • Our goal: identify and diagnose rare genetic diseases • Difficult for clinicians due to incredibly low exposure • Often not already documented
PhenomeCentral • Clinicians upload patient data
PhenomeCentral • Matchmaking algorithm displays most similar patients • Get additional evidence from other clinicians
Background • Phenotype: Observable characteristics • Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) Robinson et. al
Exomiser (Robinson et. al, 2014)
Objectives • Reproduce Exomiser performance • Expand to new patient similarity domain
Patient Simulation • Control Genome • Disease • Infected Patient • Mutation • HPO Terms
Patient Similarity • Phenotypic similarity algorithm • Hypothesis: same disease/causal gene • Combine Exomiser results
Patient Pair Simulation • Patient 1 • Patient 2 • Control Genome A • Control Genome B • Sampled mutation • Sampled mutation • Disease • Sampled HPO terms • Sampled HPO terms • Phenotypic Noise & Imprecision • Phenotypic Noise & Imprecision
Challenges • Data • Data • More data
