Severe Dengue Prognosis Using Human Genome Data and Machine Learning

Dengue has become one of the most important worldwide arthropod-borne diseases. Dengue phenotypes are based on laboratorial and clinical exams, which are known to be inaccurate. Objective: We present a machine learning approach for the prediction of dengue fever severity based solely on human genome data. Methods: One hundred and two Brazilian dengue patients and controls were genotyped for 322 innate immunity single nucleotide polymorphisms...
