Parent/Study Descriptions and Statements

Notes: “phs” is a dbGaP study accession number prefix indicating a phenotype study. A study accession number is a unique, stable, and versioned identifier.
For studies with no description in the table below, click on the phs number to see the summary provided on dbGaP. In the table, you may encounter phs links that redirect to a dbGaP error page. If so, this is because the TOPMed dbGaP study webpages do not go live until the study accession is released.

The table below provides the names of institutions providing ethics approval or oversight so TOPMed authors can respond to journals that require documentation for ethics review of studies involving human subjects.
