LifeGene
LifeGene is a unique project for better knowledge of how our genes, our environment and our way of life affect our health. LifeGene consists of two parts, a web-based questionnaire and a health test with sampling. The questionnaire was answered annually, the health test was carried out on one occasion.
LifeGene started in September 2009 and contains information from a total of 52,107 participants. Blood, serum and urine from more than 29,500 participants are stored at KI Biobank.
