北坎布里亚郡社区遗传学项目的目的是建立一个DNA，血浆和活细胞的存储库，这些细胞来自大约8000名坎布里亚郡婴儿的队列。为了达到这一目标，从1996年1月起的5年内，在母亲同意的情况下，将从怀特黑文西坎伯兰医院出生的婴儿中收集脐带血和组织样本。这些样本将用于一系列遗传和流行病学研究，调查基因、环境和健康之间的相互作用。西坎布里亚郡的人口流动很少，因此有可能在整个童年时期跟踪许多婴儿，并调查他们的遗传体质和健康结果之间的关系。
The aim of the North Cumbria Community Genetics Project is to establish a store of DNA, plasma, and viable cells from a cohort of around 8000 Cumbrian infants. To meet this objective, specimens of umbilical cord blood and tissue will be collected with maternal consent from babies born at the West Cumberland Hospital, Whitehaven over a five year period from January 1996. These samples will be used in a series of genetic and epidemiological studies investigating the interaction between genes, the environment, and health. There is little population movement in West Cumbria and so it will be possible to follow many of the babies throughout their childhood and to investigate the relationship between their genetic constitution and health outcome.
