General GDC

HIPAA guidelines require that patients with ages greater than 89 years be aggregated into a single age category. This is to limit the ability to positively identify these individuals. In practice this will impact the values reported in several fields. We have chosen to accurately display the age at diagnosis, but fields that give dates or time periods after this benchmark may be compressed. This may include such fields as "Days to last follow up", "Days to last known disease status", "Days to recurrence", "Days to death", and "Year of death".

The NCI’s Genomic Data Commons (GDC) project completes Phase 3 activities.

Recurrent data releases allow the GDC to version the data and allow users to reference the GDC version number in publications. GDC currently generates releases as needed, with a release every 2-3 months as a goal.

The GDC validates genomic data (BAM files) using FASTQC and Picard. For additional details, please visit: GDC Data Harmonization.

The GDC maintenance window is semi-monthly occurring Saturday, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm CST / 9:00 am to 5:00 pm EST.

The Genomic Data Commons project will help researchers around the country assess genetic information from more than 10,000 cancer patients, which could be used to develop more effective treatments,

The University of Chicago and the NCI are collaborating to establish the Genomic Data Commons (GDC).

The National Cancer Institute is establishing the NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC) to store, analyze and distribute cancer genomics data generated by NCI and other research organizations.
