MedGenome’s network of large hospital collaborators and genetic centers offer sample access with archived clinical data across the following disease areas:
Genomics research studies on stratified population substructures are found to be effective
Unstratified Disease CohortCritical requirements - Access to Samples
Stratified By Clinical DataRich clinical and phenotype data
Stratified by population substructureGenomic data - Population information
Examples of disease genes discovered using defined populations:
Hypercholesterolemia (LDL receptor)
Cancer (APC, RB)
Obesity (ABC1, PCSK9)
Diabetes (PPAR-γ )
Indian population genetics is a treasure trove of information and insights
The Indian population originated from a small number of founder families
Ancestral population became heterogeneous over time due to diverse climatic and other life style conditions
Restricted gene flow between groups which created 3000 – 5000 population isolates that has preserved rare disease alleles associated with complex diseases over a period of time
