| 摘要 |
A method or system for assessing phenotypes, such as a disease or a susceptibility to a disease, of an individual's genomic information, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), comprises comparing a genomic profile of the individual with a database of genotype/phenotype correlations. reporting the results back to the individual, updating the database with newly discovered correlations and/or new genomic data and reporting the revised correlations back to the individual. Multiple genetic markers, together with other information, are combined to produce a Genetic Composite Index (GCI) score. An on-line portals comprising a website allows individuals to access and analyse the information. Methods for determining predisposition to, in particular, Alzheimer's Disease, colorectal cancer, osteoarthritis or exfoliation glaucoma, based on specific SNP markers, are provided. |
