Main goal of the project is to create a national system of genomic and health information storage and data processing. Genome Database of Latvian Population will serve as a long term public resource for genetic research in Latvia available for researchers. The aim of the study is to promote the creation of a network of genetic epidemiology and pharmacogenetic projects in Latvia and facilitate international collaboration. Genome Database of Latvian Population is involved in development of proposals for governmental institutions to improve the existing legislation concerning the protection of human genome data and molecular testing.

Type of participants | Individuals |
Supplementary informations | Follow up study planned. At present cross-sectional design is applied, however participants are asked in consent form for permission to access their medical data from registries and hospital records in future. |
Target or final number of participants | 60000 |
At baseline, population based involvement is applied. However, in order to increase representation of broad range of diseases in biobank other studies separate case-control as well as cohort studies are included through collaboration if they fulfill the minimal requirements for data and biological samples. | |
Target or final number of DNA | 60000 |
