Abstract

Phenome-wide association studies (PheWASs), a powerful approach that examines phenotypes associated with a genetic marker, have been used extensively in highly developed countries. Although there may be a clear need for PheWAS in a developing country such as the Philippines, limitations related to resources and practicality would make conducting them a challenge.
