Claim One:
1. A computer based method for determining a set of modifiable non-pangenetic attributes for altering the predisposition of an individual to a condition comprising: a) receiving a condition query describing the condition which identifies, within a computer memory, a set of query-attribute-positive attribute profiles associated with query-attribute-positive individuals having the condition and a set of query-attribute-negative attribute profiles associated with query-attribute-negative individuals not having the condition, wherein the query-attribute-positive attribute profiles and query-attribute-negative attribute profiles contain pangenetic and non-pangenetic attributes; b) accessing the pangenetic and non-pangenetic attributes of the individual; c) selecting a subset of query-attribute-positive attribute profiles from the set of query-attribute-positive attribute profiles wherein the subset of query-attribute-positive profiles is correlated with the pangenetic and non-pangenetic attributes of the individual, wherein the correlation is such that the subset of query-attribute-positive attribute profiles is a minority of the set of query-attribute positive attribute profiles; d) selecting a subset of query-attribute-negative attribute profiles from the set of query-attribute-negative attribute profiles, wherein the subset of query-attribute negative profiles is correlated with the pangenetic attributes of the individual, wherein the correlation is such that the subset of query-attribute-negative attribute profiles is a minority of the set of query-attribute-positive attribute profiles; e) selecting a set of candidate attributes comprising non-pangenetic attributes from the query-attribute-positive attribute profiles; f) determining a set of modifiable non-pangenetic attributes derived from the set of candidate attributes, wherein removal of at least one those attributes from the query-attribute-positive profiles results in an altered probability of the individual having the condition in a majority of instances; and g) transmitting the set of modifiable non-pangenetic attributes as a recommendation for predisposition modification in the individual.
