Abstract

While frequency analysis of the electroencephalogram is not unusual, relatively little examination has been performed in the time domain. Separation of the waves into the intervals of their duration above a baseline, irrespective of wave shape, has allowed a simple, numerical distinction to be made between the "eyes-open" and "eyes-closed" electroencephalogram.

Utility and limitations of genetic disease databases in clinical genetics research: a neurofibromatosis 1 database example.

Databases that collect clinical information on patients with particular genetic diseases can be used to investigate the clinical history of a disorder, its genetics, and genotype-phenotype correlations. A database can also serve as a valuable source of patients for studies of disease pathogenesis, variability, or treatment. We review the strengths and limitations of genetic disease databases in the context of our experience with the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation International Database (NNFFID). Genetic disease databases have been developed by individual investigators, scientific consortia, patient support organizations, and commercial enterprises. Databases vary from simple lists of affected individuals to comprehensive collections of detailed clinical and genetic information. Data may be obtained from people who volunteer to be included, systematic assessments of patients seen at participating medical centers, or population-based registries. Access to information may be highly restricted or widely available. These variables all affect the possible uses and usefulness of the data for research. Technical aspects of data entry, organization, storage, and retrieval, as well as issues related to data quality, confidentiality, and security, help determine how well a system actually functions. We discuss examples of research that have been accomplished with genetic disease databases and make recommendations regarding the organization and operation of these resources.
