Databases

The FREX project was initiated thanks to funds allocated by France Génomique (AAP 2013 : “The French Exome Project”). It aims to establish a reference panel of genetic variations based on genomic data from exomes of “control” individuals from different regions of France.

This tool provides the French scientific community with a unique database allowing a more precise analysis of case-control association at the demographic level, and the identification of new genetic variants of low allelic frequency involved in monogenic and complex diseases.

This initiative brings together 6 research centres including the CNRGH and UMR1078 (Brest-Brittany) led by Dr. Emmanuelle Génin, coordinator of the project.

Data for the regions of the western half of France are available on the « FREX » portal
