 GWAS is one of Lifelines' [[additional assessments]] and contains the genome-wide [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-nucleotide_polymorphism|SNP]] data of 15.400 adult Lifelines participants derived from the [[https://www.illumina.com/products/by-type/clinical-research-products/human-cytosnp-12.html|Illumina CytoSNP-12v2 array]].\\
-The name GWAS might be confusing, as the assessment is not a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome-wide_association_study|"genome wide association study"]] in itself, but rather the formation of a database of SNP data that can be used to perform such studies.\\

 Note that a second set of participants is genotyped in the [[UGLI]] project.
