SYNOPSIS: PhenoDB is a web-based tool developed for the collection, storage and analysis of phenotype data, as well as interpretation of exome and genome data in the context of phenotype data. It has it own taxonomy and links to OMIM for disease terms. There is a single center version that allow identifiers and includes only the phenotype and analysis module (http://phenodb.org) and a tool for larger studies that also includes a sample module and an ELSI module for storage and review of consents (http://researchphenodb.net). Both are freely available for download; http://phenodb.org can be used by individual users to try it out (it is toggled to have only deidentified data). PhenoDB has been in use for the Baylor-Hopkins Center for Mendelian Genomics since March 2012 and holds information on over 5000 individuals from ~3000 families. It has proved efficient and effective in novel disease gene discovery. It can also be used for a laboratory or clinic. Session details... |
BIO:
Dr. Ada Hamosh, the Dr. Frank V. Sutland Professor of Pediatric Genetics, is the Clinical Director of the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the Scientific Director of Online Mendelian Genetics in Man (OMIM®), and the Co-Chair of the Phenotype Review Committee of the combined Baylor-Hopkins Centers for Mendelian Genomics (CMG), a National Human Genome Research Institute-funded project to identify the genes responsible for known and novel Mendelian disorders. Over the past year, Dr. Hamosh and colleagues have developed PhenoDB, a Web-based tool for the collection, storage, and analysis of standardized phenotype and genotype data for use in the CMG project that is freely available to all for clinical and research use.
