COMMON DATABASE PLATFORM
Dr. Julio Sanjúan Arias (G23) Responsible for the Base Platform Common Data
The Platform for data collection (http://gridsam .grycap .upv .esl) was developed by the Grid and High
Performance Computing Group (GRyCAP) of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia with the clinical coordination of Group G23 (Universidad de Valencia) . The Platform’s objective is to allow systematic data collection that is distributed in CIBERSAM projects . Each project included in the platform can have customised data and questionnaires to be collected . It is also possible to obtain data from several projects simultaneously, so the platform becomes a strategic element for collaborative projects . This platform is linked to the DNA and Imaging Platforms so it can provide extensive clinical and sociodemographic data about the collected samples .
The number of projects included in the common database increases constantly . Some of said projects currently include:
• Analysis of risk polymorphisms in whole-genome association studies (WGAS) in psychosis . • A case-control study on the interaction between polymorphic variation at genes implicated in
neurogenesis and environmental risk factors in major depression: “DEPREGENE” Study .
• First psychotic episodes (FPEs) . Led by Miguel Bernardo .
• EU-GEI . Led by Celso Arango .
• The DNA Bank project brings together all subjects (patients and controls) providing DNA samples .
• Autism Biobank Project, led by Mara Parellada .
• FlamDepre Project, led by Juan Carlos Leza .
• Psychoeducational project, led by Ana González Pinto .
• 2EPS project (ongoing), led by Miquel Bernardo .
• AGES-CM, Environment and Genes in Schizophrenia project – Research Groups from the Spanish Region of Madrid, led by Celso Arango .
• Inverse co-morbidity project .
This Platform provides centralised storage through a web application housed in a server located at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia for all structured and duly coded data corresponding to the CIBERSAM projects mentioned above .
• Total no . of cases: 24,176 • Total no . of forms: 88,272 • No . of cases added in 2014: 1,653 • No . of forms added in 2014: 6,422
