Bioinformatics and IT Workgroup
The Bioinformatics and IT Workgroup is responsible for sourcing and developing software and other tools to interpret genetic variation; extracting data from participating labs; and making all project information available to the community at large. This workgroup will be developing, refining, and disseminating the novel variants assessment and phenotype cataloguing tools. They will also be responsible for creating the bioinformatic processes for extracting variant level knowledge data from the various external databases, standardizing the data, and importing it into the unified database. The Bioinformatics and IT Workgroup will also develop and maintain the website with direct input from the other two working groups.

Data Collection and Standards Workgroup
The Data Collection and Standards Workgroup is responsible for defining and monitoring the operational goals of the project, including the scope of data collection, data sources and requirements for shared resources. This group is made up of representatives from each clinical or research laboratory contributing data to the project. This workgroup will be responsible for collecting and synthesizing data from the various stakeholders, communicating these analyses and equivalencies to the Bioinformatics workgroup, and producing the SOPs, guidelines, and policies surrounding the use of the novel variant assessment tool, phenotype cataloguing system, and unified database.

Outreach and Patient Advocacy Workgroup
The Outreach and Patient Advocacy Workgroup is responsible for creating awareness of and interest in the long-term benefits of the project, by developing relationships and interactive communications vehicles that will allow the project team to keep all stakeholders up-to-date on our progress, as well as to stay abreast of developments affecting end-users, including patients and groups advocating for the identification and management of both rare and common diseases.
