Abstract
Relevance of a study genetic variant observed in diagnostic subject genetic data that is associated by a clinical study with a phenotype characteristic is assessed as follows. A set of polymorphisms functionally related to the study genetic variant are identified. A foreground distribution is computed of variants observed in the diagnostic subject genetic data for the set of polymorphisms. A background distribution is computed of variants observed in genetic data of subjects of the clinical study for the set of polymorphisms. A comparison metric is computed comparing the foreground distribution and the background distribution. Relevance of the study variant to the diagnostic subject is quantified based on the comparison metric, with higher similarity of the foreground and background distributions corresponding to higher relevance.
