NBDC Research ID: hum0496.v1

 

SUMMARY

Aims: Okinawa Bio-information Bank (OBi) is a bio resource bank that integrates human genomic DNA, plasma (or serum), and clinical information to elucidate the unique genetic background and disease susceptibility mechanisms of Okinawans.

Methods: We obtained imputed genotyping data for up to 9,235,975 SNPs. Association studies for the serum levels of ALT, AST, and GGT were performed in OBi and BioBank Japan (BBJ) separately , then these association data were combined by meta-analyses.

Participants/Materials: OBi Ryukyu population (n=8,715), BBJ Ryukyu population (n=7,004)
