SHARe:
SNP Health Association Resource
The NHLBI SHARe Project will conduct genome wide association
studies and analyses in several large NHLBI Cohort studies
to identify genes underlying cardiovascular and lung
disease and other disorders like osteoporosis and diabetes.
The first SHARe cohort is the Framingham Heart Study,
in which genotyping of 550,000 SNPs has been completed
in over 9,000 subjects from three generations. The NIH
National Center for Biotechnology Information is developing
and housing the database for this research project in
its Database for Genotype and Phenotype (dbGaP). Data
will be available at no cost to all qualified investigators
via an application process involving an NHLBI Data Access
Committee.
The NHLBI Program Officer for SHARE is Cashell
