The International Conference on Clinical and Laboratory Chemistry revealed that 3 to 6% of newborns suffer from congenital disorders. The conference highlighted various factors affecting the development of congenital disorders, including genetic predisposition, maternal health, environmental exposure, and social and economic factors.
Data and medical statistics presented on the first day of the conference showed that 25% of congenital deformities are of genetic origin, with individual gene defects accounting for nearly 17% of these deformities.
Research studies presented at this international conference indicate that artificial intelligence (AI) will play a pivotal role in the coming years in deciphering genomics on a large scale with high precision, leading to better results in research and healthcare. Automation of clinical genetic data interpretation has significantly reduced time and costs associated with genetic diagnosis.
For the first time at the international conference, a series of multimodal artificial intelligence models were announced capable of predicting lifespan, generating synthetic biological data, discovering targets, modeling diseases, and performing many other tasks.
