Abstract:With the rapid growth of genetic data linked to electronic health record data in huge cohorts, large-scale phenome-wide association study (PheWAS), have become powerful discovery tools in biomedical research. PheWAS is an analysis method to study phenotype associations utilizing longitudinal electronic health record (EHR) data. Previous PheWAS packages were developed mostly in the days of smaller biobanks and with earlier PheWAS approaches. PheTK was designed to simplify analysis and efficiently handle biobank… Show more
