Abstract
Advances in genotyping technology have, over the past decade, enabled the focused search for common genetic variation associated with human diseases and traits. With the recently increased availability of detailed phenotypic data from electronic health records and epidemiological studies, the impact of one or more genetic variants on the phenome is starting to be characterized both in clinical and population-based settings using phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS). These studies reveal a number of challenges that will need to be overcome to unlock the full potential of PheWAS for the characterization of the complex human genome-phenome relationship.Entities:
