<div class="amp-wp-article-content">
<p>Are you familiar with the well-known <a href="https://www.framinghamheartstudy.org/">Framingham Heart Study</a>, a multi-generation study of residents of Framingham, Massachusetts begun in 1948? Much of what is now known about the impact of genetics, lifestyle, and diet on cardiovascular health and disease has come from this research study. (See <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4159698/?utm_source=ncbi_insights&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=what_is_dbgap-20221026">PMC4159698</a>  for a historical perspective.) Did you know that <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/gap/cgi-bin/study.cgi?study_id=phs000007.v32.p13">data from this study</a> and <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gap/advanced_search/?utm_source=ncbi_insights&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=what_is_dbgap-20221026">over 2,000 other studies</a> that demonstrate the relationship between genetic and medical outcomes and other phenotypes are available from NCBIs <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gap/?utm_source=ncbi_insights&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=what_is_dbgap-20221026">Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP)</a>?</p>
<p>dbGaP was <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2031016/?utm_source=ncbi_insights&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=what_is_dbgap-20221026">established in 2007</a> as a repository of human data from large scale studies. You can access data from more than 2.8 million study participants who have provided over 3.3 million molecular samples. You can retrieve patient-level phenotypic (<em>e.g.</em>, demographic, clinical, exposure) data and molecular (<em>e.g.</em>, called genotypes omics, sequence) data, and the results of association analyses from genome-scale case-control and longitudinal studies of heritable diseases.</p>
<p><strong>What types of studies and data are available in dbGaP?</strong></p>
<p>dbGaP contains a wide range of studies and types of data, all relating to human genetic and phenotypic measurements. Most dbGaP data are from NIH-funded research, but recently we have expanded to include non-NIH funded studies. An easy way to find dbGaP Studies, Phenotype and Molecular Datasets, Variables, Analyses and Documents is through the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gap/advanced_search/?utm_source=ncbi_insights&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=what_is_dbgap-20221026">dbGaP Advanced Search</a> (Figure 1). The interface allows you to filter results by different characteristics depending on the tab you choose.</p>

<p>Study designs include longitudinal cohort, case, case-control, family/twin/trios, tumor vs. normal, clinical trial and many others.

<p><strong>How do I access data in dbGaP?</strong></p>
<p>There are two access tiers in dbGaP 1) Public Access and 2) Controlled Access. Anyone may access public data without making a request. Public data includes study and variable metadata, summaries, and even some preliminary association analyses for studies. For example, you may access the variable summary level data and data dictionary, and study documents, such as protocols and questionnaires, from the <a href="https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/dbgap/studies/">public FTP site</a>, or browse these data from the public pages and advanced search (Figure 1). Access to association analysis data is available via the analysis pages or through the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gap/phegeni?utm_source=ncbi_insights&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=what_is_dbgap-20221026">Phenotype Genotype Integrator (PheGenI)</a> a browser for variations, genes and the associated trait (phenotype) with P-values indicating the strength of the genotype to phenotype association. For many studies you can see genetic population ancestry calculated from participant genotypes using <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6686921/?utm_source=ncbi_insights&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=what_is_dbgap-20221026">GRAF-pop</a>.
