For over 30 years the Seychelles Child Development Study (SCDS) has focused on examining the potential developmental risks associated with low-level methylmercury (MeHg) exposure stemming from daily ocean fish consumption during pregnancy, an issue of high public health significance. Our studies of over 3,000 participants have shown that nutrients, genetics, and maternal immune function play an important role. These findings provide important clues towards better understanding mechanisms of low-level MeHg toxicity and factors that may influence susceptibility. Our international research consortium includes four key partners with expertise in toxicology, epidemiology, biostatistics, nutritional biochemistry, and human genetics. The SCDS is a unique source of longitudinal data with extensive information on biomarkers and population characteristics. It is imperative that this resource is preserved, thoroughly documented, and enriched to realize its long-term scientific potential. The proposed study will lay the foundation for continued, integrative and translational science examining MeHg toxicity mechanisms and the long-term dynamics of low-level MeHg exposure. The current proposal has three specific aims. First, we will enrich the biorepository and outcomes database of the NC2 cohort for future studies of underlying mechanisms of MeHg toxicity and clinically-relevant phenotypes. We will re-examine 1,457 Nutrition Cohort 2 (NC2) participants who were recruited in 2008-2011 and are currently undergoing a 7-year examination. We will obtain hair and blood samples for future studies focusing on mechanisms of MeHg metabolism and toxicity. We will also collect data on medical history, sociodemographic factors, anthropometrics measures, health behaviors, and fish consumption, and we will link our study records with school examination records. Second, we will enrich the biorepository and outcome database of Main cohort study participants and their mothers to establish baseline data for novel prospective studies of MeHg toxicity across the life course. We will re-enroll the Main cohort (n=615; recruited in 1989-1990 and followed for 24 years) and their mothers (n=622, recruited in 1989-1990 and re- enrolled in 2013) and update data on health behaviors, sociodemographic factors, medical history, anthropometric measures, and fish consumption. We will collect hair and blood samples, and measure hair MeHg levels to estimate exposure across 30 years of follow up. In the Main cohort we will examine markers of autoimmune responses and correlate them with life course MeHg exposure estimates. Mothers will complete a brief assessment of physical and cognitive functioning. Finally, we will facilitate data access and sharing through improved data harmonization and discovery. We will develop an online Data Access Request and Visualization Application that will consist of a standardized data dictionary across all SCDS cohorts. It will allow users to explore our data through the visualization of descriptive statistics, and to request data and samples.

30多年来，塞舌尔儿童发展研究(SCDS)一直专注于审查 与日常海洋鱼类低水平甲基汞(MeHg)暴露相关的发育风险 怀孕期间的消费，这是一个具有高度公共卫生意义的问题。我们对超过3,000人的研究 参与者已经证明，营养、遗传和母体免疫功能发挥着重要作用。这些 研究结果为更好地理解低水平甲基汞毒性和 可能影响易感性的因素。我们的国际研究联盟包括四个主要合作伙伴 毒理学、流行病学、生物统计学、营养生物化学和人类遗传学方面的专业知识。SCDS是 独一无二的纵向数据来源，包含有关生物标志物和种群特征的广泛信息。它 当务之急是保存、彻底记录和丰富这一资源，以实现其长期 科学潜力。拟议的研究将为继续、综合和翻译奠定基础 研究甲基汞毒性机制和低水平甲基汞暴露的长期动态的科学。这个 目前的提案有三个具体目标。首先，我们将丰富生物信息库和成果数据库 未来甲基汞中毒潜在机制和临床相关性研究的NC2队列 表型。我们将重新检查2008-2011年招募的1457名营养队列2(NC2)参与者 目前正在接受为期7年的检查。我们将获取头发和血液样本，用于未来的研究 重点研究甲基汞的代谢和毒性机制。我们还将收集有关病史的数据， 社会人口统计因素、人体测量学测量、健康行为和鱼类消费，我们将把 我们的学习记录与学校的考试记录一致。第二，我们将丰富生物库和成果 主要队列研究参与者及其母亲的数据库，以建立小说的基线数据 生命过程中甲基汞毒性的前瞻性研究。我们将重新招募主要队列(n=615； )和他们的母亲(n=622,1989-1990年应征并再次-- 并更新有关健康行为、社会人口因素、病史、 人体测量和鱼类消费。我们将采集头发和血液样本，并测量头发 甲基汞水平，以估计在30年的随访中的暴露。在主要的队列中，我们将检查标记 自身免疫反应，并将它们与生命过程中甲基汞暴露估计值相关联。母亲们将完成一项 对身体和认知功能的简短评估。最后，我们将促进数据的访问和共享 通过改进数据协调和发现。我们将制定在线数据访问请求，并 可视化应用程序，将由所有SCDS队列中的标准化数据字典组成。它将允许 用户通过描述性统计的可视化来探索我们的数据，并索取数据和样本。
