Building a National Cohort Eric Boerwinkle; February, 2015 Precision Medicine Workshop What is a Cohort? Sample of people Who share some characteristic (e.g. a place) and time frame Cohort study Longitudinal
What is a Cohort?
- Sample of people
- Who share some characteristic (e.g. a place) and
time frame
- Cohort study
– Longitudinal – Measure/monitor/estimate some things – Assess outcomes (usually in the future)
- Does not have to be a representative sample, but
clear eligibility criteria allow making generalizable inferences.
Prospective, longitudinal follow-up. Deep phenotyping for RFs and outcomes. Similar methods and QC for phenotyping. Available DNA, RNA, blood, imaging.

Few Actionable Alleles Missing ‘Heritability’
Rare Mendelian……….. ‘Oligogenic’ ……………. Common Complex
Low frequency/High impact Not related to sporadic cases in a simple way
