Leveraging informatics for genetic studies: use of the electronic medical record to enable a genome-wide association study of peripheral arterial disease

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: There is significant interest in leveraging the electronic medical record (EMR) to conduct genome-wide association studies (GWAS). METHODS: A biorepository of DNA and plasma was created by recruiting patients referred for non-invasive lower extremity arterial evaluation or stress ECG. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) was defined as a resting/post-exercise ankle-brachial index (ABI) less than or equal...
