  • Hunter DNA Bank for Schizophrenia and Allied Disorders: “The DNA Bank has been established in the first instance in the Hunter region, where sufficiently large samples of people with schizophrenia and their families are located. Volunteers with schizophrenia, their first-degree relatives and people without a personal or family history of mental illness will be recruited through the resources of the NISAD Schizophrenia Research Register. The facilities of the Medical Genetics laboratory, situated at the John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle, will be used to process the blood samples. Genomic DNA, RNA and lymphocytes will be isolated and stored. The samples will then be made available for research projects investigating the genetics of schizophrenia. Researchers wishing to use these samples would be required to apply to the DNA Bank for Schizophrenia Research for permission, giving details of the proposed project.” – http://www.newcastle.edu.au/centre/cmhs/projects/nisadd.html

  • Oxford Regional Prospective Study (ORPS) and UK Nephropathy Family Study (NFS): “The risk of serious diabetic complications has been much reduced by recent improvements in achieving good control of blood glucose in children with diabetes. However, a few children will still develop problems with their kidneys and eyes when they become adults. As well as being related to blood glucose levels, the risk of complications may be partly inherited. Some of the genes may determine the risk of developing complications. Small leaks of protein in the urine of children and adolescents with diabetes (microalbuminuria) may be the first marker of the later risk for complications. We plan to investigate the relationship between protein in the urine of children with diabetes and blood pressure, blood fats and urinary protein excretion in their parents. We will also study the genes in the parents and the children to see if they explain these relationships. The study has recruited 1,000 children who are being followed up for four years to see how they progress.” – http://www-gene.cimr.cam.ac.uk/ucdr/neph.shtml
