Clinical Labs & Metadata

At clinical visits at which subjects contributed blood samples, we also collected samples for a battery of clinical laboratory tests including Blood Chemistry, Blood Counts, Inflammatory Markers, and Lipid Profiles. These clinical laboratory results are available to download below.

Subject and Sample Metadata

Our clinical labs dataset results contain some sample-level metadata to enable connection between these results and samples used in other modalities. The sample.sampleKitGuid identifier is used across many data modalities:

Subject Metadata (prefix: subject)
subject.diseaseGroup: Which group each subject belonged to: Control (HC1); Control (HC2); ACPA+ At-risk (ARI); or ACPA+ Early RA (ERA)
subject.progressionGroup: For ARI subjects, whether subject was diagnosed with RA during the study period (converted): Progression (CONV) or No Progression (NONC)
subject.subjectID: A GUID for the Subject
subject.biologicalSex: The biological sex of the Subject
subject.diagnosisAge: For ARI-CONV subjects, age at diagnosis of RA
subject.diagnosisBMI: For ARI-CONV subjects, Body Mass Index at diagnosis of RA

Sample Metadata (prefix: sample)
sample.sampleKitGuid: A GUID for the Sample Kit, representing all material collected at a visit
sample.subjectAgeAtDraw: The age of the Subject in years at the time of sample collection
