CCDG-Cardiovascular: University of Pennsylvania Cohort

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) has funded the Centers for Common Disease Genomics (CCDG), a collaborative large-scale genome sequencing effort to comprehensively identify rare risk and protective variants contributing to multiple common disease phenotypes and to better understand the general principles of genomic architecture underlying common, complex inherited diseases. This study of early onset cardiovascular disease and metabolic risk contains data derived from the whole genome sequence data of individuals participating in Penn Medicine's BioBank. ]]>
