03 / Data and access

What exists and how it can be reached.

Data types

  • DNA
  • plasma
  • whole-genome sequencing
  • clinical phenotypes
  • questionnaires
  • follow-up outcomes

Data access

04 / Evidence and provenance

Why the record is included.

Inclusion basis

Large named cardiovascular biorepository with a defined sample set and genome-sequencing linkage.

Editorial note

Historical CHD cohort. The current QCBio atrial-fibrillation study appears to continue the brand but recruits a different disease population and is recorded separately.
