The present invention concerns methods for measuring drug resistance by
correlating genotypic information with phenotypic profiles. In one
embodiment, a method for interpreting genotypic information is described
wherein a genetic code is generated from a patient sample, a list of
mutations known or suspect to play a role in the development of
resistance to one or more drugs is obtained from the generated genetic
code, a genotype database is interrogated for previous samples with
similar mutations relating to said one or more drugs, a phenotype for
said sample is located in a phenotype database, the mean change in
inhibition is determined based on all the examples located in said
phenotype database, a distribution of sensitivities of one or more drugs
suitable for treating a specific indication is determined.
