Abstract
Methods and systems for identifying biologic subtypes in a biological specimen may include receiving a data set associated with a cohort of biological specimens, determining a potential number of clusters associated with the data set, associating a cluster with one or more data points in the data set, associating a cluster label with the one or more data points in the data set, treating a related cluster as a biologic subtype and associating a biologic subtype with one or more data points with regions of interest in the data set, establishing duster features and metrics in the data set, determining if a new biologic subtype is identified by comparing the biologic subtype associated with the regions of interest with known biologic subtypes, and discovering a new diagnostic, prognostic, predictive, and/or therapeutic biologic subtype by correlating a new biologic subtype with patient, prognostic, predictive, therapeutic and/or clinical trial data.
