Age, Gene/environment Susceptibility Study In Iceland - Ocular Component

在年龄队列中，我们正在估计眼病的患病率和危险因素，以及调查在其他器官系统中表现出临床症状的人可能的功能相关性。 2007年底开始对该队列中的4,000名老年人进行后续检查，检查将持续到2011年9月。 2009年，年龄参与者中的一个亚组进行了基因分型。 AGES是基因组流行病学心脏和衰老研究队列(CHARE)联盟的成员。因此，它参与了发现或复制疾病遗传变异的遗传荟萃分析。 有关这项研究的更多信息，请访问http://www.hjarta.is/english/ages.请参考研究网站上的项目参考书目，以获取已发表的论文和出版的论文。 另见年度报告AG007380和AG006000(哈里斯博士)。

In the AGES cohort we are estimating the prevalence and risk factors of eye disease as well investigating possible functional correlates in persons exhibiting clinical signs in other organ systems. A follow-up examination on a subset of 4,000 elderly individuals in this cohort was initiated at the end of 2007 with the examination to run through September 2011. A subgroup of the AGES participants was genotyped in 2009. AGES is a member of the Cohort for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) consortium. As such, it is involved in genetic meta-analysis for discovery or replication of genetic variants of disease. For more information on the study, see http://www.hjarta.is/english/ages.
