Study population: A primary electronic health record population derived from the eMERGE Phase I \& II Network (n=16,924), and from Vanderbilt University Medical Center's (VUMC) BioVU resource (n=20,230). All subjects born prior to 1990 and falling within 4 standard deviations for each of the first 2 principal components based on common single nucleotide variants (SNVs) for the subset of subjects self-identified as "White, non-Hispanic". Thyroid Stimulating Hormone(TSH)-Population subgroup: Subjects of European Ancestry in BioVU who did not have any ICD-9 or ICD-10 codes for thyroid diseases and who had thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) measurements that fell within the clinically normal reference range.

About this study

Performing a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) identifying clinical diagnoses associated with a polygenic predictor of Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels identified by a previously published genome-wide association study (GWAS). PheWAS will be applied in an electronic-health-record (EHR) cohort including North American (n: 37,154) and European participants using 1,318 phenotypes.

  • phenome-wide association study (PheWAS)Genetic

    Phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) identifying clinical diagnoses associated with a polygenic predictor of TSH levels identified by a previously published genome-wide association study (GWAS) which included North American and European participants. A phenome-wide scanning of 1,318 phenotypes will be performed, using a cohort of 37,154 North American individuals of European ancestry with electronic-health-record (EHR) data.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
BioVU-Emerge EHR cohortA primary EHR population derived from the eMERGE Phase I \& II Network (n=16,924), a consortium of medical centers using EHRs as a tool for genomic research, and from Vanderbilt University Medical Center's (VUMC) BioVU resource (n=20,230). BioVU is VUMC's de-identified collection of patients whose DNA was extracted from discarded blood and linked to phenotypes through a de-identified EHR. All subjects were born prior to 1990 and fell within 4 standard deviations for each of the first 2 principal components based on common single nucleotide variants (SNVs) for the subset of subjects self-identified as "White, non-Hispanic".

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thyroid and Genetic Predisposition to Disease, run by Groupe Hospitalier Pitie-Salpetriere at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

thyroid disorders associated with a polygenic predictor of thyroid stimulating hormone levels (time frame: population inclued in the eMERGE Phase I & II Network or BioVU resource until 1 july 2018). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03597659, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Sep 2019.
