Brief summary
This resource/biobank has two main aims. The first aim is to gain a better understanding of the interactions between genes, environment and the way we live that influence health or cause diseases. The second aim is to use this understanding to develop new drugs, genetic tests and treatments and to plan public health strategies.
Interventions
This is an observation of the exposure of an individual to current medical standard of care e.g. current medicines etc and environmental exposure e.g. diet and smoking. This exposure will be compared with long-term health outcomes using electronic medical records and coded DRGs. Genomic DNA from whole blood and plasma will be stored on patients. Genomic, proteomic and metabolomic analysis will be applied to the samples to assess interactions between the individual, drugs and environment. Data wi
This is an observation of the exposure of an individual to current medical standard of care e.g. current medicines etc and environmental exposure e.g. diet and smoking. This exposure will be compared with long-term health outcomes using electronic medical records and coded DRGs. Genomic DNA from whole blood and plasma will be stored on patients. Genomic, proteomic and metabolomic analysis will be applied to the samples to assess interactions between the individual, drugs and environment. Data will also be aggregated from electronic clinical records and patient questionnaires. The patient questionnaire will be completed at the beginning of the study and will not be repeated. Blood samples will be collected at 6mths, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 year periods.
