DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Determining the genetic architecture of human traits has been a successful and rapidly advancing aspect of Human Genetics. Our ability to characterize individual genetic variation is rapidly approaching the whole genome sequence level. However, equally important is rapid and detailed characterization of the phenotypic variation in the traits themselves, such that meaningful correlations can be identified between genotype and phenotype. The initial phase of the eMERGE network explored the use of electronic medical records for rapid and large-scale characterization of phenotypes and the ability to use linked DNA repositories to generate and analyze genetic variation. The eMERGE network has already demonstrated the viability and utility of this approach in a number of "proof-of-principle" studies. It is now important to determine the portability and expandability of these approaches in a second and expanded phase of the network. Vanderbiit provided the underlying support for the initial eMERGE network through a supplement to its current eMERGE grant (VGER). We propose to continue our support for an expanded network through a coordinating center (eMERGE-CC) that will provide a combination of scientific and logistical efforts through four specific aims: 1). Accelerate phenotype algorithm development and sharing across the eMERGE-ll network; 2). Expand methods to integrate high quality genomic information within EMRs across the eMERGE-ll network and analyze the resulting data; 3). Expand and accelerate methods to determine the reidentification risk and levels of privacy afforded by performing research on combined clinical and genetic data from the eMERGE-ll network; and 4). Continue to provide logistical support to the entire eMERGE-ll network. RELEVANCE (See instructions): The goal of the eMERGE project is to develop methods for using data from electronic medical records and data from genetic studies to better understand the genetic underpinnings of clinical disease. A further goal is to integrate this information into clinical care. The role of the Coordinating Center is to support these activities.

描述（由申请人提供）：确定人类特征的遗传结构是人类遗传学的成功且迅速发展的方面。我们表征个体遗传变异的能力正在迅速接近整个基因组序列水平。但是，同样重要的是特征本身表型变异的快速和详细表征，因此可以在基因型和表型之间识别有意义的相关性。 Emerge网络的初始阶段探索了电子病历用于快速和大规模的使用 表型的表征以及使用链接的DNA存储库来产生和分析遗传变异的能力。在许多“原理证明”研究中，Emerge网络已经证明了这种方法的生存能力和实用性。现在，重要的是在网络的第二个阶段和扩展的阶段确定这些方法的可移植性和可扩展性。 Vanderbiit通过补充其当前出现赠款（VGER）为初始出现的网络提供了基本支持。我们建议通过协调中心（Emerge-CC）继续支持扩展的网络，该中心将通过四个具体目标提供科学和后勤工作的结合：1）。加速表型算法开发并在整个Emerge-ll网络中共享； 2）。扩展方法以整合EMR中的高质量基因组信息，并分析所得数据； 3）。扩展和加速方法，以确定对来自Emerge-LL网络的临床和遗传数据进行研究的重新识别风险和隐私水平；和4）。继续为整个Emerge-LL网络提供后勤支持。 相关性（请参阅说明）：Emerge项目的目标是开发使用电子病历和遗传研究数据数据的方法，以更好地了解临床疾病的遗传基础。另一个目标是将这些信息整合到临床护理中。协调中心的作用是支持这些活动。
