ORCADES
Year Started: 2005
The Orkney Complex Disease Study (ORCADES) is a genetic epidemiology study based in an isolated population in the north of Scotland (http://www.orcades.ed.ac.uk/). Participants are volunteers with two or more grandparents from Orkney. It aims to discover the genes and variants in them which influence risk factors for common, complex diseases such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease, glaucoma, chronic kidney and lung disease. The very rich data make it a platform resource for health and disease research. Participants are linked to hospital admissions, cancer registrations and deaths. Whole genome scans are available for all, and whole exome and genome sequence on a subset.
