Description:
To identify and enrol participants for the 100,000 Genomes Project we have created NHS Genomic Medicine Centres (GMCs). Each centre includes several NHS Trusts and hospitals. GMCs recruit and consent patients. They then provide DNA samples and clinical information for analysis.
Illumina, a biotechnology company, have been commissioned to sequence the DNA of participants. They return the whole genome sequences to Genomics England. We have created a secure, monitored, infrastructure to store the genome sequences and clinical data. The data is analysed within this infrastructure and any important findings, like a diagnosis, are passed back to the patient’s doctor.
To help make sure that the project brings benefits for people who take part, we have created the Genomics England Clinical Interpretation Partnership (GeCIP). GeCIP brings together funders, researchers, NHS teams and trainees. They will analyse the data – to help ensure benefits for patients and an increased understanding of genomics. The data will also be used for medical and scientific research. This could be research into diagnosing, understanding or treating disease.
To learn more about how we work you can read the 100,000 Genomes Project protocol. It has details of the development, delivery and operation of the project. It also sets out the patient and clinical benefit, scientific and transformational objectives, the implementation strategy and the ethical and governance frameworks.

Genomics England 100k participants have consented to longitudinal lifetime
followup and recontact safely through our clinical network. BRST (Bioinformatics
Research Services) are a team of bioinformatics who know the dataset inside out
and provide consultancy projects on a case by case basis. Our network of
clinical and medical experts can be made available on case by case basis.
Researchers have the opportunity to work with our and access the GeCIP network
who are a community of world-leading experts in specific cancers and rare
diseases.
