Actual (reported)The Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network is in its third phase and during this time is enrolling and sequencing 25,000 individuals on a custom sequencing panel of clinically relevant, actionable genes. The genetic results will be returned to participants and outcomes tracked through the electronic health records.

Actual (reported)Impact of return of clinically actionable results on patient treatment
The network will abstract data from patient electronic health records (EHR) six months after clinically actionable results have been returned to the patients and providers. The Network will determine changes in medication or treatments after return of the sequencing results. Outcome measures on patients receiving both positive and negative results will be analyzed.
Six months post return of results
Approximately 2500 to 3000 participants are enrolled at each site. Two sites (CCHMC and CHOP) are primarily enrolling pediatric patients while the rest focus on adult populations. Each site has unique specific aims and due to this cohorts differ slightly at each site. After sequencing is complete the data from all sites will be pooled into one large data set to allow for cross site analysis.

Blood samples are drawn from patients after consent in a CLIA certified manner. These samples are processed, DNA is extracted and sent to one of two sequencing centers (Baylor College of Medicine or Partners Healthcare with Broad Institute). DNA is then sequenced and clinical reports along with sequencing results returned to sites.
