The GEPARD Data Collection Model – Protected Data Collection for the Gene Bank Parkinson´s Disease Germany of the Competence Network on Parkinson´s Disease

Keywords: scientific databases, Biology and Genetics, legal aspects, security, gene bank

The analysis of the human genome facilitates the study of the relationship between genotypes and phenotypes. Research on diseases such as Parkinson´s Disease (PD), partly determined by mutations and polymorphisms in several genes, requires a large number of DNA samples in conjunction with highly standardised clinical information. To support further discovery of genetic components of PD, the Competence Network on Parkinson´s Disease (CNP e.V.) initiated the Gene Bank Parkinson´s Disease Germany (GEPARD) and underwent a complex procedure to establish an internet-based data system that fulfils the legal requirements of the German data safety and protection laws.
