Computer
predicts disease from gene data
United Press International, Nov. 15
– UCSD researchers have announced the
first model-based system for predicting phenotype (function
of the cell or organism) based on genotype (an individual’s
DNA). The researchers inserted 150 different DNA sequences known
to cause enzyme deficiencies in red blood cell metabolism into
a computer model. The model then predicted accurately which
mutations would result in chronic hemolytic anemia and which
would cause a less severe version of the disease. The results
are published in the November issue of the journal Genome Research.
