MCPS is the largest collection of exomes, phenotypes and metabolomics data in Latin America, including nearly 160,000 participants. Our group has several active projects studying genetic and non-genetic risk factors for the leading causes of mortality in Mexico. If you are interested in learning to use one of the largest human genetics datasets in the world, please contact us. Read more about the resource here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigaci\u00f3n con el Biobanco de Reino Unido<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UK Biobank phenotypes and genomic data are publicly available to researchers with research plans who request access. UK Biobank currently contains exome sequence, genotype chip and imputed genome sequence for 500,000 individuals, as well as electronic health records, questionnaire data, and a number of standardized biometric and biochemical measures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Statistical and population genetics of founder and isolate populations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gen\u00e9tica Poblacional y Estad\u00edstica sobre las poblaciones fundadoras y aisladas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the last 15 years, Dr. Van Hout\u2019s interests in human genetics have included statistical genomics approaches to understand disease etiology and demography in founder and isolate populations, in particular the Old Order Amish. Academic and industry\/academic collaborations have resulted in novel gene discovery for risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD)5<\/sup>, epidemiologically relevant risk factors for CVD6<\/sup>, and population genomics aspects of special populations, including the Old Order Amish7<\/sup> and indigenous American populations8,9<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
