Description:
The aim of GS: SFHS is to establish a large, family-based intensively-phenotyped cohort recruited from the general population across Scotland, as a resource for studying the genetics of health areas of current and projected public health importance. It aims to identify genetic variants accounting for variation in levels of quantitative traits underlying the major common complex diseases (such as cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, mental illness) in Scotland. DNA and non-identifiable information from this cohort will be made available to researchers in Scotland and international collaborators. Baseline data was collected at a single clinic visit. Longitudinal data is available by linkage to NHS medical records. Some participants are being invited to new clinic visits in 2015-17. This profile also includes scanning information from the Stratifying Resilience and Depression Longitudinally (STRADL) study to which approximately 3,000 GS participants have been invited for scanning.

Access Service:
The Data Portal runs its analysis environment through a virtual desktop
infrastructure accessible via VMWare software. By analysing the data in the
virtual desktop environment you are working on DPUK"s servers – meaning there is
no physical transfer of data to researchers. The processing capacity enables you
to work with large numbers of records and integrate these with the other data
modalities that exist in the DPUK cohorts. This solution also offers researchers
the freedom to conduct their analyses anywhere with an internet connection.
