Background of the Study
Genetic diseases pose significant challenges to healthcare systems, and early prediction can greatly improve patient outcomes. At Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, the need for an efficient bioinformatics system that harnesses machine learning for genetic disease prediction has become increasingly apparent. Bioinformatics systems integrate vast amounts of genomic data to identify patterns that may indicate predispositions to genetic disorders. Machine learning algorithms have proven effective in analyzing complex datasets; however, their performance is often constrained by classical computational limits (Ibrahim, 2024). The advent of quantum computing offers an opportunity to overcome these limitations by accelerating data processing and enhancing pattern recognition. By incorporating quantum-enhanced machine learning techniques, a bioinformatics system can analyze high-dimensional genomic data more efficiently, improving the accuracy and speed of disease prediction (Adekunle, 2023). This system will facilitate early diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies, potentially reducing morbidity and mortality rates associated with genetic diseases. The integration of such advanced computational methods into healthcare has the potential to revolutionize disease prevention strategies and enable proactive medical interventions. Despite the promise, challenges such as data integration, algorithm optimization, and infrastructure constraints must be addressed. This study focuses on designing a bioinformatics system that leverages machine learning, enhanced by quantum computing capabilities, to predict genetic diseases. The system will be evaluated for its accuracy, scalability, and feasibility in a real-world academic environment, providing valuable insights for future healthcare innovations (Chinwe, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
The prediction of genetic diseases using traditional machine learning models is hindered by the complexity and high dimensionality of genomic data, leading to suboptimal accuracy and prolonged processing times (Emeka, 2023). At Ahmadu Bello University, current bioinformatics approaches do not fully exploit the available data, limiting early disease detection capabilities and delaying timely interventions. These limitations are compounded by infrastructural constraints and the lack of advanced computational resources, preventing the efficient analysis of large genomic datasets. While quantum computing presents a promising avenue for accelerating machine learning processes, its integration into existing bioinformatics systems remains in its infancy. The challenge is to develop a robust system that not only enhances prediction accuracy but also overcomes scalability issues and data integration hurdles. This study aims to design a quantum-enhanced bioinformatics system capable of processing high-dimensional genomic data efficiently and accurately, thereby enabling early prediction of genetic diseases. By addressing the technical, operational, and infrastructural barriers, the research will provide a comprehensive solution for improving healthcare outcomes through advanced computational biology (Ibrahim, 2024).
