National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) Data
Introduction
The National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) data contains twelve terabytes of -omics data for 26,546 participants. This data contains a cohort of 575 breast cancer patients and 3,479 patient family members. The original data was collected through the DNA.Land project (PMID 29374253) and is currently housed on the GW-FEAST data browser. Access to this data is restricted and must be approved by NBCC on a case-by-case basis through the NBCC Data Access Request (DAR) Form.
De-identification
The NBCC data has been de-identified using a tool (NBCC De-IDN Tool v1.0) developed by Dr. Robel Kahsay from our group1, which uses the Safe Harbor approach to de-identification. This tool is specific to the NBCC data and any changes to the parameters will be captured in subsequent versions.
