- PhenX is a three year project led by RTI International and funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to contribute to the integration of genetics and epidemiologic research
- PhenX has prioritized 21 research domains related to complex diseases and environmental exposures
- Consensus building is being used to develop a recommended minimal set of high priority measures for use in Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS) and other large-scale genomic research efforts
- High priority measures will maximize benefits of future research by enabling cross-study comparisons and analysis
- Selection and specification of the measures are driven by the scientific community via the PhenX Steering Committee, Working Groups and community consensus.
- The PhenX Toolkit presents the selected high priority measures to the scientific community
