What is a PharmGKB Accession ID?
A PharmGKB Accession ID is a unique identifier that is assigned to objects (e.g. a gene, a PCR assay, a sample set, a subject, etc.) in the PharmGKB. PharmGKB Accession IDs start with the letters PA, followed by a number (e.g. PA128366314). When a submission is uploaded to the PharmGKB, new Accession IDs are generated for certain elements (elements that have pharmgkbId and localId attributes) in the submission. The list of new Accession IDs for the submission is sent to the submitter as well as made available on the PharmGKB website for future reference. For a working example, the complete list of new PharmGKB Accession IDs generated for submission PS205469 (view XML) can be found here.
