Framingham SHARe, seeks to link data from the study to ongoing research into disease.
Scientists know just a small proportion of the genes most strongly linked with certain diseases. DNA and 60 years of clinical information from people in the Framingham study will strengthen the ability to identify new associations, and help scientists narrow down which genes go with which diseases. That can pave the way for huge advances in prevention and treatment, they say.
The Framingham Study is moving in new directions. Genetics will be a major focus.
