PhenCode: Linking Human Mutation and Genome Belinda Giardine Cathy Riemer Ross Hardison Webb Miller Jim Kent PSU and UCSC
Aims of PhenCode • Connect genome data (evolutionary history, function) with phenotype and clinical data • Facilitate better understanding of the associations between genotype and phenotype • Generate novel explanations for mechanisms of disease
LSDBs in the works • RettBASE (Rett syndrome) • dbPEX (Zellweger syndrome, Refsum Disease Infinitile Form, Adrenoleukodystrophy Autosomal Neonatal Form) • LMDp (muscular dystrophy) • BIC (breast cancer)
Recent accomplishments • Added new LSDBs and updated old ones • Documentation is now available from the bx web site • The tools used in mapping the mutations to the genome are available also • Paper in Human Mutation • PhenCode: connecting ENCODE data with mutations and phenotype.
Work in progress • Add more Locus Specific Databases • Automation of track updates • Phenotype nomenclature
