Complex Disease - Data Analysis Working Group

Our mission is to execute core analyses to identify the genetic basis of genetically complex forms of Parkinson’s disease.

Our overall goals are to support the maintenance, democratization, and acceleration of analyses relating to basic analysis and storage ecosystem, data quality control including protected health information (PHI) scrubbing, imputation harmonization, periodic genome-wide association study (GWAS) result and data quality control updates, and machine learning predictions for all outcomes of interest. We will also provide analytical support for investigators with approved projects.
