Genetic and Environmental Contributions to Cardiovascular Risk: Lessons From North Karelia and FINRISK.

Global heart - 1 Jun 2016

Salomaa Veikko

Abstract excerpt

Systematic collection of DNA samples started in FINRISK during the 1992 survey and has continued in all surveys since then. At the moment, FINRISK has DNA, careful phenotyping at baseline, and prospective follow-up for incident disease for about 34,000 participants. These data have been used for genome-wide association studies by contributing to numerous large international consortia, mainly focused on...
