Abstract excerpt
The linkage between electronic health records (EHRs) and genotype data makes it plausible to study the genetic susceptibility of a wide range of disease phenotypes. Despite that EHR-derived phenotype data are subjected to misclassification, it has been shown useful for discovering susceptible genes, particularly in the setting of phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS). It is essential to characterize...
