HUME: large-scale detection of causal genetic factors of adverse drug reactions

向作者/读者索取更多资源

Motivation: Adverse drug reactions are one of the major factors that affect the wellbeing of patients and financial costs of healthcare systems. Genetic variations of patients have been shown to be a key factor in the occurrence and severity of many ADRs. However, the large number of confounding drugs and genetic biomarkers for each adverse reaction case demands a method that evaluates all potential genetic causes of ADRs simultaneously. Results: To address this challenge, we propose HUME, a multi-phase algorithm that recommends genetic factors for ADRs that are causally supported by the patient record data. HUME consists of the construction of a network from co-prevalence between significant genetic biomarkers and ADRs, a link score phase for predicting candidate relations based on the Adamic-Adar measure, and a causal refinement phase based on multiple hypothesis testing of quasi experimental designs for evaluating evidence and counter evidence of candidate relations in the patient records.
