Abstract
BACKGROUND: Use of artificial intelligence (AI) in rare diseases has grown rapidly in recent years. In this review we have outlined the most common machine-learning and deep-learning methods currently being used to classify and analyse large amounts of data, such as standardized images or specific text in electronic health records. To illustrate how these methods have been adapted or developed for use with rare diseases, we have focused on Fabry disease, an X-linked genetic disorder caused by lysosomal α-galactosidase. A deficiency that can result in multiple organ damage.
