Data science methodologies can be utilized to ascertain and analyze clinical genetic data that is often unstructured and rarely used outside of patient encounters. Genetic variants from all genetic testing resulting to a large pediatric healthcare system for a 5-year period were obtained and reinterpreted utilizing the previously validated Franklin© Artificial Intelligence (AI). Using PowerBI©, the data were further matched to patients in the electronic healthcare record to associate with demographic data to generate a variant data table and mapped by ZIP codes.

Article Synopsis
  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects around 4% of people worldwide and is diagnosed based on symptoms according to the Rome criteria, with no specific biomarker test available for IBS itself.
  • The study aimed to find biomarkers and unique gene expressions related to IBS by analyzing mucosal tissue samples from 29 participants, identifying 858 differentially expressed genes that could characterize IBS.
  • Out of these, 23 genes were narrowed down, including 7 potential IBS biomarkers connected to serotonin metabolism, indicating that vitamin D may influence gene expression related to IBS pathology.

Alterations of Ca homeostasis have been implicated in a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases. Ca efflux from the endoplasmic reticulum into the cytoplasm is controlled by binding of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate to its receptor. Activated inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors are then rapidly degraded by the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation pathway.

Background/aims: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a multifaceted disorder that afflicts millions of individuals worldwide. IBS is currently diagnosed based on the presence/duration of symptoms and systematic exclusion of other conditions. A more direct manner to identify IBS is needed to reduce healthcare costs and the time required for accurate diagnosis.
