Responsible Use of MGI Summary Statistics Attestation
The use of summary statistics computed using Michigan Medicine’s Patient Data and biorepository resources for academic research is a privilege, not a right. With this privilege comes the responsibility to protect the privacy of individuals who are the subjects of the data and/or biospecimens. Investigators accessing summary-level data through the pheweb tool (e.g., odds ratios and p-values from genome-wide association studies) must safeguard the data by agreeing to adhere to the following:
  1. I will not attempt to scrape genetic data from the pheweb website
  2. I will not attempt to identify or contact individuals upon whom these analyses are based;
  3. I will not use the summary statistics contained on this website for commercial use
