Spec: Add accession-level provenance for UKB AD GWAS dataset
Task ID: c43a0413-2405-47e6-a25c-6b8c7a95d3b4
Quest: 415b277f-03b
Layer: Atlas
Created: 2026-04-27
Problem
The ukb-ad-gwas dataset (registered by the biomni_parity pipeline) scored 0.36 because it has only the
generic UK Biobank homepage URL with no:
- GWAS accession number
- Phenotype definition
- Summary-statistics download path
schema_json column schema- Row-level citations / PMID
- Evidence tier
This makes the dataset hard to reproduce or audit.
Solution
Update the datasets row for ukb-ad-gwas with:
GWAS accession: ieu-b-2 (IEU OpenGWAS)
Primary citation: Marioni et al. 2018, PMID 30315176, doi 10.1038/s41398-018-0189-y
Phenotype definition: AD-by-proxy (parent had self-reported Alzheimer's disease in UK Biobank)
Summary statistics URL: https://gwas.mrcieu.ac.uk/datasets/ieu-b-2/
Download path: https://gwas.mrcieu.ac.uk/files/ieu-b-2/ieu-b-2.vcf.gz
schema_json: Full GWAS summary-statistics column schema (rsid, chromosome, position,
effect_allele, other_allele, effect_allele_freq, beta, se, p_value, n, evidence_tier, row_citation)
