A specific subject or experimental unit in a Study, that data in the StudyResult object is about - e.g. a particular variant in a population allele frequency dataset like ExAC or gnomAD.

Comments

  • The 'focus' of a StudyResult is the what anchors selection of all data items and provenance information that it contains. This focus may be a single participant or subject of a study (e.g. one patient in a clinical study, or one allele in a population frequency analysis). It may be a study group defined as an experimental unit in the study (e.g. a specific treatment arm of a clinical study). Or it may be a variable defined as a unit of analysis in the study (e.g. 'exposure to nicotine' in an analysis correlating this variable with clinical outcomes).
