Center for Applied Genomics biobank (CAG biobank)
The CAG Biobank, established in 2006, is a large and diverse pediatric biorepository, hosting around 600,000 biological samples and including more than 130,000 patients and family members from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) in Philadelphia, United States of America. The database contains de-identified longitudinal information about visits, diagnoses, medical history, prescriptions, procedures, and lab tests extracted from electronic medical records of consented patients at CHOP. To date, it has recruited more than 100,000 children and 30,000 parents from CHOP and gathered an additional 450,000 samples through multiple collaborations.
