Using Electronic Health Records to Generate Phenotypes for Research
Sarah A. Pendergrass and Dana C. Crawford Electronic health records contain patient-level data collected during and for clinical care. Data within the electronic health record include diagnostic billing codes, procedure codes, vital signs, laboratory test results, clinical imaging, and physician notes. With repeated clinic visits, these data are longitudinal, providing important information on disease development, […]
Local genetic ancestry in CDKN2B-AS1 is associated with primary open-angle glaucoma in an African American cohort extracted from de-identified electronic health records.
Restrepo NA, Laper S, Farber-Eger E, Crawford DC. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in developed countries. Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), the most prevalent clinical subtype of glaucoma in the United States, affects African Americans at a higher rate compared with European Americans. Risk factors identified for POAG include increased age and family history, […]
Reducing Clinical Noise for Body Mass Index Measures Due to Unit and Transcription Errors in the Electronic Health Record.
Goodloe R, Farber-Eger E, Boston J, Crawford DC, Bush WS,. Body mass index (BMI) is an important outcome and covariate adjustment for many clinical association studies. Accurate assessment of BMI, therefore, is a critical part of many study designs. Electronic health records (EHRs) are a growing source of clinical data for research purposes, and have […]
Fine-mapping of lipid regions in global populations discovers ethnic-specific signals and refines previously identified lipid loci.

I missed the talk but was able to join the Q&A. Excellent career advice and nothing but the COVID scientific facts from @KizzyPhD on emerging vaccine efficacy data, SARS-CoV-2 mutation rates, and more at #ABRCMS2020 twitter.com/FutureDrSLove/…
This Black Girl Magic! This talk was amazing. @KizzyPhD breaks down rapid Covid19 vaccine development during this pandemic! #ABRCMS2020 #ABRCMS https://t.co/NgPkXbnd0z

I am both happy and sad. This should have happened in 2016. #BidenHarrisToEndThisNightmare twitter.com/iamsambee/stat…

Sweet child o' mine, what a #ASHGMemory @illumina! I'm at #ASHG20 partying like it's pre-pandemic ASHG 2018 in San Diego!
Tonight's gonna be a good night, indeed! #ThrowbackThursday #ASHGMemory #ASHG20 @cgonzagaj twitter.com/cgonzagaj/stat…

Late into the @illumina party, ASHG San Diego 2007. The hip hop dancers have left the scientists to party on. And party on they did. #ASHGMemory #ASHG20
@TheRealDrOLab @oconnellphds @OregonCovidSeq @acadey80 @BenBimber @SallyGrindstaff @PDXdengue A great example of residual sample use for genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2. If only more in the US would adopt this approach.
Watching the #ASHG20 late-breaking session on COVID-19 genetics. Excited for the science, but sad to be watching it from an Ohio county about to go purple on the alert system because of severe exposure and spread.
@joanneberghout Yes. Srsly, I would characterize the talks so far in this session as focused on approach, not on freq of the variants.
@michaelhoffman Other approaches "leave a lot of signal on the table." Oh, I am gonna use that!
I feel like I am standing in the back of the room at session 21 variant-to-function coupling. Are there any chairs available in the front? No? Only a few random in the middle? #ASHG20
Pretty much every #ASHGMemory: Waiting in the long line at Starbucks hoping to make the first session on time. #ASHG20 Day 2 starts soon! Good luck @a_k_miller! twitter.com/CaturDNA/statu…
Congrats to @CWRUSOM's @a_k_miller, @scottwilliams9, and @BuchnerLab for being selected for a platform presentation at the upcoming #ASHG2020! Looking forward to the epistasis talk at 10:45am ET on 10/28 (abstract 1124).

ASHG 1997 in Baltimore. My second @GeneticsSociety meeting, back when I was still excited about conference hotel gift shops. #ASHG20 #ASHGMemories
How it started (new graduate student at ASHG 1996) v how it’s going (Professor and board member at #ASHG20). Thanks for the mentorship and leadership opportunities @GeneticsSociety
