Incorporating Knowledge-Driven Insights into a Collaborative Filtering Model to Facilitate the Differential Diagnosis of Rare Diseases.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Rare diseases, although individually rare, collectively affect one in ten Americans. Because of their rarity, patients with rare diseases are typically left misdiagnosed or undiagnosed, which leads to a prolonged medical journey. The diagnosis pathwa...

Deep neural models for extracting entities and relationships in the new RDD corpus relating disabilities and rare diseases.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: There is a huge amount of rare diseases, many of which have associated important disabilities. It is paramount to know in advance the evolution of the disease in order to limit and prevent the appearance of disabilities and ...

Exploring the clinical features of narcolepsy type 1 versus narcolepsy type 2 from European Narcolepsy Network database with machine learning.

Scientific reports
Narcolepsy is a rare life-long disease that exists in two forms, narcolepsy type-1 (NT1) or type-2 (NT2), but only NT1 is accepted as clearly defined entity. Both types of narcolepsies belong to the group of central hypersomnias (CH), a spectrum of p...

Extracting cancer mortality statistics from death certificates: A hybrid machine learning and rule-based approach for common and rare cancers.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVE: Death certificates are an invaluable source of cancer mortality statistics. However, this value can only be realised if accurate, quantitative data can be extracted from certificates-an aim hampered by both the volume and variable quality ...

Leveraging Collaborative Filtering to Accelerate Rare Disease Diagnosis.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
In the USA, rare diseases are defined as those affecting fewer than 200,000 patients at any given time. Patients with rare diseases are frequently misdiagnosed or undiagnosed which may due to the lack of knowledge and experience of care providers. We...

Sensitive detection of rare disease-associated cell subsets via representation learning.

Nature communications
Rare cell populations play a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of diseases such as cancer. However, the identification of such subpopulations remains a difficult task. This work describes CellCnn, a representation learning approach to de...

The Human Phenotype Ontology in 2017.

Nucleic acids research
Deep phenotyping has been defined as the precise and comprehensive analysis of phenotypic abnormalities in which the individual components of the phenotype are observed and described. The three components of the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO; www.hum...

Linking rare and common disease: mapping clinical disease-phenotypes to ontologies in therapeutic target validation.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: The Centre for Therapeutic Target Validation (CTTV - https://www.targetvalidation.org/) was established to generate therapeutic target evidence from genome-scale experiments and analyses. CTTV aims to support the validity of therapeutic t...

Integrating ontologies of rare diseases and radiological diagnosis.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
PURPOSE: The author sought to integrate an ontology of rare diseases with a large ontological model of radiological diagnosis.

Disease Ontology 2015 update: an expanded and updated database of human diseases for linking biomedical knowledge through disease data.

Nucleic acids research
The current version of the Human Disease Ontology (DO) (http://www.disease-ontology.org) database expands the utility of the ontology for the examination and comparison of genetic variation, phenotype, protein, drug and epitope data through the lens ...
