access to returned data 2442 Pan-ancestry genetic analysis

Elham Alhathli

Hi I'm trying to create a phenotype in jupyter lab and I need to acess the reurned dataset to filter my european data as follow in the methodology I'm following. 

 

Participant ancestries were defined using the pan-UKBB definitions of genetic ancestry in the UKB return dataset 2442 (for example, “pop = EUR”)

 

I tried to download it using ukblink as in the documentation but I got this error Application 68812 is not authorised for download. 

We do have access to individual level data.

I just need to load the file to my jupyterlab environment on UKRAP and then filter my participants based on “pop = EUR”). How do I load the data into the environment if bulk download of the reurned dataset is not allowed

    Dear Elham, 

    Thanks for your post on the UK Biobank Community Forum. 

    As data is now accessed via the UKB-RAP by default it is no longer possible to download returns data using ukblink. 

    Returned data is not yet available in the UKB-RAP but we are currently developing a system which will enable researchers to request returns and access them in UKB-RAP. 

    We will notify all researchers when this is ready and we expect to make this announcement in due course.

    Kind regards, 

    Matt

    Following this thread. Are there any updates to the timeline of being able to access returned variables? I have also requested the returned genetic ancestry but have been told for many months that we should be able to request returned data in the new year (2025).

    ^^^ key strength of the Biobank is the returns data, it's a bit concerning we can't still can't utilise it in our research. The Pan UK data especially can add a great deal of generalisability and inclusivity to our research.

    Dear all,

    may I ask how we now can get access to return data sets like from the PAN UKB Project?

    Best, Mathias

    Hi, I was wondering whether this is still unresolved? It would be a very important piece for many analyses!

    Daniel C yes all updated projects will have access to the Pan UK data under field 30079. This was part of the v20 data release
