DNA from Nails for Genetic Analyses in Large-Scale Epidemiologic Studies

1 Dec 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Nails contain genomic DNA that can be used for genetic analyses, which is attractive for large epidemiologic studies that have collected or are planning to collect nail clippings. Study participants will more readily participate in a study when asked to provide nail samples than when asked to provide a blood sample. In addition, nails are easy and cheap to obtain and store compared with other tissues....
