Claim One:
1. A method, implemented by a server, for determining and presenting the likelihood a person has a mutated form of a gene, the method comprising: receiving an electronic order from a clinician for at least one clinical agent for a person; in response to receiving the electronic order for the at least one clinical agent, searching a table to determine whether the at least one clinical agent is associated with a gene, the table listing a plurality of genes associated with a plurality of clinical agents and clinical events; upon searching the table, querying a first database to determine whether the person has one or more genetic test results for the gene determined to be associated with the at least one clinical agent; when the first database indicates that the person does not have the one or more genetic test results for the gene, identifying an appropriate traversal pattern of the gene within a family of the person identified, wherein the traversal pattern of the gene is identified by a process comprising: (a) accessing an inference table that associates genes with a plurality of modes of inheritance; (b) querying the inference table with the gene to select a mode of inheritance that corresponds with the gene; and (c) using the selected mode of inheritance to determine the traversal pattern of the gene within the person's family; identifying at least one family member within the identified traversal pattern of the person's family for inspection; querying a second database to determine whether at least one identified family member of the person within the traversal pattern has one or more genetic test results related to the gene; when the at least one identified family member has the one or more genetic test results for the gene, utilizing the one or more genetic test results to automatically calculate a likelihood the person exhibits a mutated form of the gene; and presenting the calculated likelihood the person has a mutated form of the gene to the clinician.
