摘要: Personalized healthcare (PHC) based on an individual's genetic make-up is one of the most advanced, yet feasible, forms medical care. The Tohoku Medical Megabank (TMM) Project aims to combine population genomics, genetics and prospective cohort studies develop a critical infrastructure for establishment PHC. To date, TMM CommCohort (adult general population) BirThree Cohort (birth+three-generation families) have conducted recruitments baseline surveys. Genome analyses as part will aid in development high-fidelity whole-genome Japanese reference panel, designing custom single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays specific Japanese, estimation biological significance variations through linked investigations cohorts. Whole-genome sequencing from >3,500 unrelated genome sequence long-read data been done. We next aim obtain genotype all participants (>150,000) using our SNP arrays. These help identify disease-associated genomic signatures population, while be used improve panel. Follow-up allow us test markers and, consequently, contribute realization
