VIKING II, a Worldwide Observational Cohort of Volunteers with Northern Isles Ancestry

2021-10-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> The purpose of VIKING II is to create an observational cohort of volunteers with ancestry from the Northern Isles of Scotland, primarily for identifying genetic variants influencing disease. The new online protocol is separate to, but follows on from, earlier genetic epidemiological clinic-based studies in the isolated populations of Orkney and Shetland. These populations are favourable for t...
