Purpose The increasing use of electronic health records (EHRs) and biobanks offers unique opportunities to study Mendelian diseases. We described a novel approach to summarize clinical manifestations from patient EHRs into phenotypic evidence for cystic fibrosis (CF) with potential to alert unrecognized patients of the disease. Methods We estimated genetically predicted expression (GReX) of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and tested for association with clinical diagnoses in the Vanderbilt University biobank (N = 9142 persons of European descent with 71 cases of CF). The top associated EHR phenotypes were assessed in combination as a phenotype risk score (PheRS) for discriminating CF case status in an additional 2.8 million patients from Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) and 125,305 adult patients including 25,314 CF cases from MarketScan, an independent external cohort. Results GReX of CFTR was associated with EHR phenotypes consistent with CF. PheRS constructed using the EHR phenotypes and weights discovered by the genetic associations improved discriminative power for CF over the initially proposed PheRS in both VUMC and MarketScan. Conclusion Our study demonstrates the power of EHRs for clinical description of CF and the benefits of using a genetics-informed weighing scheme in construction of a phenotype risk score. This research may find broad applications for phenomic studies of Mendelian disease genes.
