Abstract

The Genetics Office Automation System (GOAS) is a database management system for the collection and reporting of medical genetics data. We have previously reported on its implementation in a single university center [1,2]. We report here on its implementation in a coordinated data collection effort for the State of Missouri. We discuss the current status of the data collection activities and procedures to share data collected at an individual center with state, regional, and national data collection efforts.
