Age, Gene, Environment, Susceptibility Study -- Reykjavik
Initiatives
-
To identify genetic and other new risk factors for selected diseases and conditions including: atherosclerosis, cognitive impairment, dementia and subtypes (i.e. Alzheimer's disease), stroke, sarcopenia, obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes, and osteoarthritis; To characterize phenotypes for these diseases and conditions, and study them in relation to genetic susceptibility, gene function and genetic/environmental contributions to disease; To identify contributory molecular markers associated with these conditions including markers of cellular maintenance and repair, markers of oxidative stress, and immunologic and endocrine indicators
