GPF-SFARI

GPF-SFARI manages genotypes and phenotypes derived from family collections to enable interactive exploration of genetic variants and secure data sharing for autism research.

Key Features:

• Genotype and phenotype management: Organizes extensive genotypic and phenotypic data from collections of families.
• Interactive variant exploration: Allows interactive exploration of genetic variants impacting phenotypes.
• De novo mutation enrichment analysis: Performs enrichment analysis for de novo mutations.
• Phenotype/genotype association: Provides phenotype/genotype association tools.
• Secure data sharing: Enables protected access to comprehensive data and public access to de novo mutation collections and gene-level statistics.
• Data dissemination: Disseminates SSC and SPARK family collection data sets for the study of autism.
• Gene-level statistics: Provides gene-level statistics characterizing genes' roles in autism from protected data sets.
• Versatile data management: Can manage genotypic data from other small or large family collections beyond SSC and SPARK.

Scientific Applications:

• Autism research: Supports analysis of SSC and SPARK cohorts to identify variants associated with autism and related disorders.
• Complex disease genetics: Facilitates the search for variants associated with complex diseases through deeply genotyped and phenotyped family collections.
• De novo mutation analysis: Enables study of de novo mutations from individuals with autism and related disorders.
• Gene characterization in autism: Characterizes genes' roles in autism through gene-level statistics.
