MIchigan-CORnell-TEXas (MICORTEX) - Estimating the Contribution of the Network of DNA Sequence Variations to the Prediction of CHD and Diabetes

This sub-study [phs000860](./study.cgi?study_id=phs000860) MICORTEX contains genotype and selected phenotype of subjects available from the [phs000860](./study.cgi?study_id=phs000860) study. Summary level phenotypes for the NHLBI ARIC Cohort study participants can be viewed at the top-level study page [phs000280](./study.cgi?study_id=phs000280) ARIC Cohort. Individual level phenotype data and molecular data for all ARIC Cohort top-level study and sub-study are available by requesting Authorized Access to the NHLBI ARIC Cohort [phs000280](./study.cgi?study_id=phs000280) study.

MICORTEX is a program in systems biology, funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), which focuses on developing resources and non-traditional analytical approaches for answering the primary questions faced by investigators seeking to characterize the impact of DNA sequence variation on human health: Which DNA sequence variations, in which individuals, in which populations and in which environmental contexts within a particular population, predict incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) and diabetes beyond established risk factors?
