This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Large families are the cornerstone of success for human genetics studies. Large families residing in Utah have had a particularly important historic impact on the field of human genetics research. The 47 CEPH families in Utah are being brought into the GCRC for extensive phenotyping so that genes for quantitative traits and common diseases can be mapped using the extensive genotypic information on these families already stored in the CEPH database. Over 50 collaborators, local, national and international, are gathering data that includes over 70 blood tests, 134 physical tests (e.g., BP, hearing, voice pitch, vision, echocardiograms) and measurements, and health information.
