Genomic Data
The Biobank is genotyping 40,000 of the Biobank's consented patients and genotype data for ~25,000 subjects is available now. The remaining ~15,000 subjects will be genotyped over the next two years, with new data being released every six months. Samples have been genotyped using two versions of the biobank SNP array offered by Illumina that is designed to capture the diversity of genetic backgrounds across the globe. This data is available, free of charge to Partners HealthCare investigators with appropriate approval from the Partners Institutional Review Board (IRB).
Request for this data are placed in the Biobank Portal. This query tool enable Partners investigators to define requests based on clinical data from the Electronic Medical Record, as well as self-reported survey data on lifestyle, environment, and family history.
