Studies that have incorporated PhenX measures.

NEIGHBOR Consortium - The NEI Glaucoma Human Genetics Collaboration (NEIGHBOR) is a collaborative effort to collect primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) cases and controls to sufficiently power a genome-wide association study to identify genetic variants that significantly contribute to the disease. The consortium is using PhenX measures to collect/collate phenotypic data for this study.
