Precision Medicine Patient Stratification

Transform patient genomic and clinical profiles into actionable risk stratification, treatment recommendations, and personalized therapeutic strategies.

Reasoning Before Searching

Stratification means splitting patients into groups that respond differently to a treatment or have different prognoses. Ask these questions before running any tools:

1. What molecular feature predicts response? Candidates: somatic mutation (e.g., EGFR L858R), germline variant (e.g., BRCA1 LoF), expression level (e.g., HER2 overexpression), germline pharmacogenomic variant (e.g., CYP2C19 PM), or composite biomarker (e.g., TMB-H + MSI-H).
2. Is the predictive feature actionable? Knowing it must change treatment — either the drug choice, dose, or monitoring plan. A variant with prognostic value but no therapeutic consequence is not a stratification biomarker.
3. What is the evidence level for the stratifier? FDA-approved companion diagnostic (T1) vs. exploratory (T4) changes how much weight to place on the finding.

Route to the correct Phase 3 path BEFORE running Phase 2 tools — cancer, metabolic, CVD, rare disease, and autoimmune pipelines require different stratifiers.

LOOK UP DON'T GUESS: Never assume a variant is pathogenic, never assume a gene is relevant to a disease, never assign metabolizer status without PharmGKB or CPIC evidence.

KEY PRINCIPLES:

1. Report-first - Create report file FIRST, then populate progressively
2. Disease-specific logic - Cancer vs metabolic vs rare disease pipelines diverge at Phase 3
3. Multi-level integration - Germline + somatic + expression + clinical data layers
4. Evidence-graded - Every finding has an evidence tier (T1-T4)
5. Quantitative output - Precision Medicine Risk Score (0-100)
6. Source-referenced - Every statement cites the tool/database source
7. English-first queries - Always use English terms in tool calls

Reference files (same directory):

• TOOLS_REFERENCE.md - Tool parameters, response formats, phase-by-phase tool lists
• SCORING_REFERENCE.md - Scoring matrices, risk tiers, pathogenicity tables, PGx tables
• REPORT_TEMPLATE.md - Output report template, treatment algorithms, completeness requirements
• EXAMPLES.md - Six worked examples (cancer, metabolic, NSCLC, CVD, rare, neuro)
• QUICK_START.md - Sample prompts and output summary

COMPUTE, DON'T DESCRIBE

When analysis requires computation (statistics, data processing, scoring, enrichment), write and run Python code via Bash. Don't describe what you would do — execute it and report actual results. Use ToolUniverse tools to retrieve data, then Python (pandas, scipy, statsmodels, matplotlib) to analyze it.

When to Use

Apply when user asks about patient risk stratification, treatment selection, prognosis prediction, or personalized therapeutic strategy for any disease with genomic/clinical data.

NOT for (use other skills instead):

• Single variant interpretation -> tooluniverse-variant-interpretation
• Immunotherapy-specific prediction -> tooluniverse-immunotherapy-response-prediction
• Drug safety profiling only -> tooluniverse-adverse-event-detection
• Target validation -> tooluniverse-drug-target-validation
• Clinical trial search only -> tooluniverse-clinical-trial-matching
• Drug-drug interaction only -> tooluniverse-drug-drug-interaction
• PRS calculation only -> tooluniverse-polygenic-risk-score

Input Parsing

Required

• Disease/condition: Free-text disease name
• At least one of: Germline variants, somatic mutations, gene list, or clinical biomarkers

Optional (improves stratification)

• Age, sex, ethnicity, disease stage, comorbidities, prior treatments, family history
• Current medications (for DDI and PGx), stratification goal

Disease Type Classification

Classify into one category (determines Phase 3 routing):

Critical Tool Parameter Notes

See TOOLS_REFERENCE.md for full details. Key gotchas:

• MyGene_query_genes: param is query (NOT q)
• EnsemblVEP_annotate_rsid: param is variant_id (NOT rsid)
• ensembl_lookup_gene: REQUIRES species='homo_sapiens'
• DrugBank tools: ALL require 4 params: query, case_sensitive, exact_match, limit
• cBioPortal_get_mutations: gene_list is a STRING (space-separated), not array
• PubMed_search_articles: Returns a plain list of dicts, NOT {articles: [...]}
• fda_pharmacogenomic_biomarkers: Use limit=1000 for all results
• gnomAD: May return "Service overloaded" - skip gracefully
• OpenTargets: Always nested {data: {entity: {field:...}}} structure
