System for genetically characterizing an individual for evaluation using genetic and phenotypic variation over a wide area network

摘要

The present invention provides a system for separating individuals into subpopulations using a polymorphic profile in a networked environment. The separated groups are subpopulations can be used for clinical studies and treatment studies. The system allows identification of a susceptibility locus in individuals using genetic screening methods to assess their increased risk of certain diseases. In addition, the information can be used to gauge drug responses, study disease susceptibility and to conduct basic research on population genetics.
