Integration of clinical data and genomic data to construct diagnosis and prognosis system for digestive diseases and related complications

1. Aims: We aims to establish the diagnosis and prognosis system for digestive diseases and related complications using genotype and phenotype data, enhancing the translation from basic research to clinical application.
2. Scientific rationale: Digestive diseases and related complications constitute a large part of human diseases. However, the precise diagnosis and prognosis system for digestive disease are still far from satisfactory. Accumulating evidence has suggested the integration of genotype and phenotype data could improve the specificity and sensitivity of diagnosis and prognosis of certain diseases.
3. Project duration: Three years will be needed to complete this project.
4. Public health: An improved guidance on diagnosis and prognosis of digestive diseases and related complications would be provided for the benefits of public health. Besides, a preventive guideline for digestive diseases and related complications would be provided as well.
