National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) Genetic Restricted Data

DNA samples were collected in the <b>Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey</b> (NHANES III; 1988-1994) and in subsequent NHANES cycles (1999-2002, 2007-2008, 2009-2010, and 2011-2012). The program is a nationally representative collection of stored DNA samples and genetic data and will serve to add to the extensive amount of health, nutritional, and environmental information collected from NHANES. Resulting genetic variants are deposited into the NHANES Genetic Data Repository. These datasets are categorized as restricted data since they contain identifiable information.
